Anna Hadley reviews Tense Vagina: An Actual Diagnosis at the Underbelly, Edinburgh A new-comer to Edinburgh Fringe, performance artist Sara Juli tries to keep up with the off brand comedy that the festival is known for. A show about motherhood and urinary incontinence, it had the potential to […]
Charlotte Pegram reviews Kat Bond: Loo Roll at the Pleasance, Edinburgh. In this show Kat plays Pat, a woman abandoned by her family and left in a rubbish bin. Pat is undeniably an unusual comedy character, she is desperate to be loved and yet lacks the social skills […]
Abigail Bryant reviews Odd Man Out at The Hope Theatre Odd Man Out comprises of two stories, each performed individually, and each exploring one man’s venture into a society which doesn’t deem him in line with what is culturally normal. Although the two tales hold no relation to […]
