Alex Kealy’s style of comedy much resembles a sixth former giving an awkward PowerPoint presentation. The content of his show wouldn’t be out of place in an A Level economics/politics classroom either: Gove, Boris and Corbyn all get a bashing; the disadvantages of a free market economy are […]
It’s a simple set-up. The audience fills out a form while queuing for the show; they accuse someone they know of a crime, and they provide a line or two of substantiating evidence. Then the show gets up and running and one of these ‘criminals’ is called to […]
Where to start with this magical piece of multimedia performance? The live music that accompanies it. Or perhaps the awe of watching the live performers interact with the projected puppets? Or the breathtaking skill of the projectionists who mastermind the whole performance by constantly changing and layering intricate […]
After another reviewer at The Peg saw the previous instalment of Beach Comet’s irreverent B-musicals, Vampire Hospital Waiting Room, I was intrigued to see if their new offering would garner such a love-hate response.

Frenchy is well known in his Aussie homeland and in the realms of YouTube, and he’s breaking into the UK comedy scene with ‘World’s Worst Adult’. If you’re aware of his YouTube content you’ll be pleased/relieved to know that he’s quit his teaching day job and is now touring […]
What happens when a tomboy who loves mud and football starts to believe she really is a boy? And, more than that, a boy who could rise to the heights of an 80s movie star. Well, confusion and disappointment one would suppose. But Hutson tells us that, ironically, […]
Tried and Tested: Improvabunga As a group, Watch This have been running an improv show at the fringe for as long as this reviewer can remember. They’re a tried and tested bunch of improv-ers and a safe pair of hands for some improv fun. Bit […]
So you want to see some comedy at the Edinburgh Fringe but don’t know where to start? Part and parcel of the the fringe is taking pot luck and seeing what you find, sometimes you light on a gem, sometimes a corker. But, if you want a sure […]
