Review of Kevin Quantum: Illuminations, Fringe 2016

August 16, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Quantum began by asking whether there were any kids in the audience and remind us that his 4pm show is rated PG. I think that only applies to the banter and the risk of having audience members up on stage. Illumination is a mix of science and magic. I was impressed with the magic. He’s […]

Review of Steve Bugeja’s “Unpronounceable”, Fringe 2016

August 7, 2016 by Guest Reviewer Leave a Comment

Queuing outside Venue 51 and exploring the surprising sources of the numerous quotes about drinking written on the walls of The Tron, I heard Steve Bugeja’s name pronounced at least five times, no two versions sounding even remotely similar. The fact that the comedian’s last name is unpronounceable – or, to be more precise, is […]

Review of Twins: Pret a Comedy, Fringe 2015

August 29, 2015 by Guest Reviewer Leave a Comment

Sitting in the Pleasance at 12am watching Twins is perhaps one of the more bizarre ways to kick-start your day. Whether it was their charm or to take shelter from the rain, the show attracted a diverse audience; people in their pyjamas, people drinking tea, people drinking vodka and people eating their tea. However, unlike […]

Review of “Jennie Benton Wordsmith”, Fringe 2015

August 19, 2015 by Guest Reviewer Leave a Comment

Waiting outside Venue 302 on a Saturday afternoon, I kept hearing people saying they were there to see Jennie Benton, or even just Jennie. This made me wonder if the title of the show was designed to confuse and surprise: unlike most stand-up comedy shows where the name in the title is that of the […]

Competition: Win tickets for the Edinburgh Foodies Festival

July 15, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Got plans that’ll take up all of the 7th, 8th and 9th of August? No! Good! You should make your way to Inverleith Park and take part on the 10th birthday of the Edinburgh Foodies Festival.

Review of Paul Merton’s Impro Chums, Fringe 2014

August 18, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I always look forward to Paul Merton’s Impro Chums. This year they had competition from Clive Anderson’s What Does the Title Matter Anyway?. A battle of improvisational comedy! The Impro Chums are the same as ever – Suki Webster, Richard Vranch, Lee Simpson, Mike McShane and, of course, Paul Merton. It’s good to see the […]

Books 📚 and beer 🍺 Two of my MANY weaknesses together as @argonautbooks at @moonwakebeer #leith this weekend!
Aaaah! Imagine the delicious willpower of @tastybunsbakery being at the @moonwakebeer market this weekend. They are!
A bit of imagination on offer from @luna_edinburgh for the @moonwakebeer event. I'm not too much of a believer but using #tarot to guide your thoughts is an interesting technique.
Imagine how amazing Calton Hill's #GiraffeAboutTown will look in the right light!
Let's keep Edinburgh green!
Looking skyward! #GiraffeAboutTown
