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.

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: All-Stars Burlesque 2026, Fringe 2026

August 20, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

All-Stars Burlesque 2026 is the very best of burlesque, featuring the creme de la creme of performers as part of the International Fringe Burlesque Festival. Go along for a fun night at the Caves!

A review of Julian Clary: Fully Dilated, Fringe 2026

August 18, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

A self-described “prominent homosexual” and “camp old mincer”, Julian Clary makes a triumphant return to the Edinburgh Fringe after 17 years away! It’s a very fun show, and my first experience of live Julian Clary saying things that would get him “flogged in Dubai, pointed at in Peckham” – so I didn’t really know what […]

A review of Sh!t-faced Shakespeare®: Hamlet

August 18, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

Still chaotic, unpredictable, and entertaining with classically trained Shakespearean actors – one of them drunk – doing their thing with the famous words of William Shakespeare. I think on a different night, I’d still recommend you go.
