I like picnics; I didn’t know if I liked Charlie Vero-Martin when I first agreed to come along and review the show, but I was told her comedy was funny if slightly on the weird side – and well, that was me sold.
A review of Alphabet Soup, Fringe 2023
Birdy made her way to the Shanghai at Le Monde, George Street, for what promised to be the most fabulous LGBTQIA+ comedy brunch/lunch. Comedy shows at the Fringe? Ten to the dozen. LGBTQIA+ comedy variety BRUNCHES at the Fringe? Now, that’s a rarer thing. When I was offered a ticket for Alphabet Soup, featuring LGBTQIA+ […]
A review of Ivy Paige: Burlesque Bombshell
I’d actually seen a little of Ivy Paige before tonight, at Vive la Variete, and it was off the strength of her performance that I decided to go and see her perform at her own show, Burlesque Bombshell.

A review of Amelia Bayler: I Work in Customer Service But I’m Actually a Pop Star, Fringe 2023
It was Birdy’s first time in the BlundaBus, and she got a warm welcome from Amelia Bayler as she made her way through the curtain, up the stairs and plonked down on the nearest bench ready for a fun show. I’d never seen Amelia Bayler perform before, but apparently she had this very same venue […]
Review of Lost Cabaret: Nonsense in the Night, Fringe 2023
As a general rule, I’m usually up for anything cabaret, and anything a bit weird, whimsical and silly, so this show appealed to me whilst browsing the media portal. I didn’t realise until after I’d booked that it was based in the famous Magical Spiegelyurt, so that was also a bit of a treat.
