Review: Ben Hart – The Labyrinth, Fringe 2026

August 10, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Surrounded by mirrors in the Palais du Variété, Ben Hart presents a masterclass in psychological illusion and theatrical storytelling. From shadow play to clever mentalism, The Labyrinth is a solid four-star Edinburgh Fringe hit.

Review: Macbeth – Blood and Bluegrass, Fringe 2026

August 10, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Can bluegrass music work with Shakespeare? The Barden Party brings warrior women and live acoustic arrangements to Edinburgh Fringe in a bold, fast-paced adaptation of Macbeth.

Review: Olaf Falafel Presents – I Used to Work in a Helium Balloon Factory Until they Let Me Go, Fringe 2026

August 10, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Experience an hour of relentless laughs, audience interaction, and art-related buffoonery with Olaf Falafel in the main room at The Pear Tree daily at 2:30 PM.

Review: One Man Poe: The Tell-Tale Heart and The Pit and the Pendulum, Fringe 2026

August 9, 2026 by Lauren Charlotte Leave a Comment

I went into this show knowing the story of “The Pit and the Pendulum” but not with “The Tell-Tale Heart” so I was excited to see both the familiar and unfamiliar presented in the same show by one performer. 

Review: Amazing Bubble Man, Fringe 2026

August 9, 2026 by Guest Reviewer Leave a Comment

A wonderful hour of fun, science, learning and of course BUBBLES! Totally captivating for all ages and a definite hit for any young fringe-goers.

Review: Collaborator, Fringe 2026

August 9, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

Collaborator is an intimate, tender and very personal tribute to Ockham’s Razor and their 23-year relationship of working and being together. It’s poignant, sentimental, and at times, magical. Not to be missed.

A review of The Librarians: A Very Serious Comedy!, Fringe, 2026

August 9, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

Written by Matthew Howell and Jack Michael Stacey for Cabbage Productions, Librarians: A Very Serious Comedy! is a chaotic satirical farce comedy show about saving a library before it’s sold off to become luxury flats.

Review: The Second Best School Shooting, Fringe 2026

August 9, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

A poignant look at the reality facing teenagers in America, and coping the only way they know how; with humour. Some hits and a few misses in terms of comedy, with a powerful and important message.
