The Trials of Magnus Coffinkey is a deeply devastating show about using storytelling as a mechanism to process grief and loss. Bring tissues, I was a mess. Unforgettable performances, and a powerful show.
Review: Big Naked Variety Show, Fringe 2026
A highly entertaining variety show where all the acts appear naked and do their thing, with comedy, circus, magic and “the best thing ever”. You’ll laugh, you’ll cheer, you’ll be shocked, and most importantly, you’ll probably leave feeling like you’ve seen enough naked people for the day. Probably.
Review: CABAPOCALYPSARET (the Creative Martyrs), Fringe 2026
Unmissable Fringe vaudevillian cabaret intellectual comedy favourites return for 2026 with a new show, new songs, and some bumming. Still on the fence about whether they’re the best act to get stuck in a room with during an apocalypse, but for a Fringe show on the subject, it’s fabulous.
Review: Sexy Circus Sideshow 3.0, Fringe 2026
If you love burlesque, circus and freaky stuff, this is the show for you. A fun Fringe fave with a great variety of cabaret acts that switch it up on the regular.
A review of Alan Bissett: The Red Hourglass, Fringe 2026
Dark comedy and silliness following the plight of various spiders, all told with Alan Bissett’s masterful, wry delivery, strong characterisation and stage presence.
Review: Man or Bear, Fringe 2026
A darkly devastating and powerful play unveiling the different faces of violence and abuse women face on a continual daily basis, with themes of resilience, abuse, survival and solidarity. Very relatable. A gut punch to watch, but also important.
Review: An A to Z Guide to Dating, Fringe 2026
A funny, original, cleverly executed one-woman musical comedy based on the advice given in Feast at the Famine, the book written by Grace O’Keefe’s mother.
A review of Simon Amstell: I Love it Here, Fringe 2026
Unfiltered, unapologetic, commanding-the-stage-just-by-being-himself Simon Amstell is an hour well-spent. Highly recommended.
