Review: Wenches!, Fringe 2025

August 19, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Berlin’s Hysterie Theater hits the Fringe with the fantastic Wenches! This dark comedy follows two peasants on an absurd journey into the world of hashtags and podcasts. It’s a hilarious and thought-provoking satire on performative activism and inaction. Go see it!

Review: Vittorio Angelone: you can’t Say Nothing any more, Fringe 2025

August 19, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Vittorio Angelone delivers a brilliant and brave performance, tackling “culture war” topics with nuance and razor-sharp wit. He questions whether comedians have a duty to speak out, using his own unique perspective to craft a show that is both deeply personal and universally relevant.

Review: A Tribute to the Band, Fringe 2025

August 19, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Forget the band; this is a Discworld musical! Cazz Regan’s performance is a loving, funny, and acoustic journey into fantasy, complete with witty footnotes. A show for fans of Pratchett and clever music.

Review: Jo Caulfield – Bad Mood Rising, Fringe 2025

August 17, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A bad mood never felt so good! Jo Caulfield, an Edinburgh local, expertly balances humour and anger in her show Bad Mood Rising. She’s got a loyal following for a reason: her caustic wit and relatable anecdotes are simply brilliant. Highly recommended.

Review: STARDUST Starring Star Dust (In Person), Fringe 2025

August 17, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Looking for a show that’s truly “Fringe”? STARDUST Starring Star Dust is a delightfully weird and interactive character comedy. From its gilded star to a lampshade-wearing keyboardist, this show is a chaotic and hilarious antidote to the mundane.

Review: A Dram Is Worth A Thousand Words, Fringe 2025

August 17, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a highly recommended and cost-effective show for anyone curious about Scotch whisky. It’s an educational, interactive, and value-for-money experience that’s more than just a tasting.

Review: Jeremy Sassoon’s MOJO (Unplugged), Fringe 2025

August 16, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Experience a joyful and educational journey through 100 years of music by Jewish songwriters with Jeremy Sassoon. His solo, piano-led show is packed with fascinating facts and dazzling performances.

Review: Celtic Roots, Fringe 2025

August 16, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A polished and professional musical show, Celtic Roots sees singer Kevin Littlejohn and fiddler Kirsty McGroarty connect with the audience through a sincere and emotional setlist of modern Celtic songs.
