About Bronwen Winter Phoenix

Known as the female John Wick of content, Bronwen Winter Phoenix is determined, prolific, and won’t stop ‘til the job is done… but is still not impervious to being hit by the odd car. She gets by as an Edinburgh-based artist, illustrator, Galaxy Award-nominated author, and ex-journalist.
 
Also known as; B-winnie Bookbags, Capt. Feral Phoenix, Stepmother of Dragons, the Sunburnt, and Teller of Tall Tales. With more dresses than sense, a Bronwen at rest cannot be stopped. She’s making gravy without the lumps.

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.

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.

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! It’s normally just a chaotic mish-mash blur of a month for me, but this one-off midnight screening, ahead of the premier on Netflix, felt a bit different. A bit special. The question to myself was: “Do I review the Netflix special […]

A review of Kevin Quantum: Invisible Force, Fringe 2026

August 22, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

Kevin Quantum: Invisible Force is one smooth, slick show demonstrating tricksy rules of science and quantum physics, in ways most of us don’t quite properly understand. A real showman and a highly-entertaining hour of science/magic/quantum antics!

A review of Matthew Gallagher: Last Minute, Fringe 2026

August 21, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

A really fun hour of impressions, observational comedy and crowdwork. A strong debut from Gallagher, if not the most polished – with a bit more confidence, he’ll definitely be one to watch in the coming years!

Review: NewsRevue, Fringe 2026

August 21, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

A hilarious musical parody comedy sketch show on all things political and current affairsy. If the real news is bringing you down, this feels like the antidote.

Review: Final Queen, Fringe 2026

August 21, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

A really joyful and gloriously sequinned performance from an absolute tour-de-force who commands the stage and entertains with seamless musical numbers, dancing, acrobatics, crowdwork and more!

August 20, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

A brilliant comedy horror play with plenty of thrills, chills and plot twists galore – definitely a show for classic horror lovers. I had a lot of fun at this one!
