Running out of time to get Christmas gifts? I think movies, either on DVD or Blu-ray, can still reach you in time. The only risk with buying a movie as a gift for someone is that if they’re a big fan they’re likely to already have (or be getting) a copy. You know they’ve already […]
A review of Noughts & Coffees, City Centre
This is a trend I welcome; board games are popular again. The return of board games somehow happened while missing the hipster trap and becoming an accepted mainstream thing. If you don’t believe me, then you only need to start counting the number of gaming cafes that are popping up across the country. Edinburgh has […]
Grand Opening: The Refinery, City Centre
Edinburgh Reviews’ Caroline was lucky enough to attend the opening of The Refinery on St Andrew Square. Here’s the field report from the night. On Thursday we were invited to the opening of Edinburgh’s newest restaurant, The Refinery at St Andrew Square which is part of the trendy Drake & Morgan brand. Having been to […]
A review of Thrones! The Musical Parody! Fringe 2016
Baby Wants Candy have managed to condense the TV show (not the books) of Game of Thrones into just one hour. There’s time to imagine the series’ ending too. Expect spoilers, sex and death. It’s inconceivable to me that anyone would go to a Game of Thrones inspired parody and not expect spoilers, sex and […]
A review of Paul Merton’s Impro Chums, Fringe 2016
Paul Merton and his Impro Chums are always on my to-watch list for the Fringe. They’ll fill out the largest venue at the Pleasance Courtyard, every time, so book well in advance. This year we had familiar faces in the Chums; Suki Webster, Richard Vranch, Lee Simpson and Mike McShane. They’re all so good it’s […]
Review of Seann Walsh: One for the Road, Fringe 2016
I’ve always found Seann Walsh to be great value for money at the fringe. He plays little venues and up close to the crowd when, I suspect, he could play larger arenas and step back a little. It’s good to see Walsh back at the Fringe – although he was in the process of dying […]
Review of Knightmare Live: The Game Has Changed, Fringe 2016
Another brilliant episode Knightmare and that’s great news. It feels like there’s a little more budget to this season. We’ve lost the hilariously unpredictable, Doctor Who style, cardboard scenery that was always falling off and otherwise taking part of the show. We’ve gained some special effects via the new projected background. We’ve not lost the […]
Review of Kevin Quantum: Illuminations, Fringe 2016
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 […]
