While the middle-class, artsy nature of the festival often comes in for some stick (take a drink every time a comedian mentions it and chances are you won't remember the weekend at all) their comedy line-up is utterly unparalleled by any other festival in the country. …

"Horne's innate charm and quick wit manage to keep it on track, making for a dynamic and jubilant end to a day at the Fringe."…
"Just watching Tony Law work is an education. Anyone who's serious about comedy should go see him."…
