A review of Harvey Cobb: Pink Boots and an Alcoholic Sock Puppet, Fringe 2026

August 27, 2026 by Lauren Charlotte Leave a Comment

This show is certainly self aware in it’s weirdness and there were members of the audience getting a really good laugh out of the absurdity. Cobb’s charisma and stage presence made the oddness more enjoyable. This show is different, but there is definitely an audience for it!

Review: Kate Smurthwaite Writes and Performs a Brand-New Full-Length Stand-Up Show Every Single Day for the Entire Edinburgh Fringe Based on Audience Suggestions from the Previous Day (Not Tuesdays)

August 27, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

Kate Smurthwaite is a brilliantly funny, clever, and original comedian who pushes her own boundaries and also makes you think. Every day (except Tuesdays) she’s coming up with a different show, so no two are ever the same. Go along and don’t miss it.

A review of Alex Kitson: Now Look Here, Fringe 2026

August 27, 2026 by Guest Reviewer Leave a Comment

A smart, energetic and genuinely funny hour from Alex Kitson, with sharp observations, strong storytelling and a distinctive perspective that makes familiar situations feel fresh.

Review: Police Cops in Space, Fringe 2026

August 27, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

Police Cops in Space is a surreal, physical, sci-fi buddie comedy with skipping, music, ’80s bangers and dancing! I loved its silly macho-camp ’80s sci-fi vibe.

Expect confrontational clowning, audience singalongs, and brutal honesty in TITCLOWN: daddy’s little girl at Summerhall. Jessica Aszkenasy dismantles modern dating in an uncompromising hour.

Review: The Night Ali Died, Fringe 2026

August 27, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Night Ali Died proves how powerful minimalist theatre can be with sharp character work and split-second sound cues. Catch Raising Cain Productions on the Royal Mile.

Review: Alan Jay – Hell Hath No Humour Like a Gayboy Scorned, Fringe 2026

August 27, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Fluent Mandarin pranks, brutal honesty, and zero self-pity. Alan Jay balances genuine darkness with charisma at Gilded Balloon Patter House.

Review: Stamptown’s Netflix special screening @ Assembly’s Palais du Variété 

August 26, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

Having a red carpet event is a bit out of the ordinary for Fringe!
