A banter-driven but playful magician with plenty of tricks up his sleeve and a talent for reading minds and crowdwork, David Alnwick clearly has a love not just of magic tricks, but also the story, the history, and an awareness of the innate creepiness and discomfort created by doing the impossible.
Review: Sasha Graham’s Ghost Stories and Tarot, Fringe 2026
Graham theatrically performs a one-woman autobiography of her own ghost story, taking us along to a bubbly journey through her time in early 90s New York. Chapters of the story broken up by tarot readings for cards handed allowed her to weave context into the more abstract ideas of tarot readings.
Review: Mother, Maiden and Crone, Fringe 2026
Hell hath no fury like a Scottish woman on her hen do scorned. Nor the three witches running the bar where the evening’s events unfold. Come to Bedlam Theatre for a raucous, celebratory, and fiercely queer night in Limbo (Bar and Kitchen) as our shot boy, drag queen, and DJ prepare for the coming of McBride!

Going against her own advice, Kate Butch, metaphorically naked, trapses around her glass house of comedy.

Review: Jill’s Tupperware Party, Fringe 2026
Step into the 80th Annual Tupperware Convention with Jill and Jill, as Coral Bevan and Ricky Hunt delight and horrify with the show they’ve cooked up. Jill’s Tupperware Party is an interactive and immersive glimpse into the camp and cutthroat cult of Tupperware sales. I had the best time, and I hope I’ll see you at the next one, Jill!
A review of Heated Rivalry: The Unauthorized Musical Parody, Fringe 2026
Coming into the Udderbelly (my first show inside the big cow this Fringe), I had an idea of what to expect both from parody musicals as a genre and Heated Rivalry as the source material. While this show is absolutely a combination of those two things, and it serves both mostly faithfully, its sum is […]
