A review of Flo & Joan: Sweet Release, Fringe 2022

August 21, 2022 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I hope very much to see Flo and Joan next year, and I suspect they’ll be one of the very first acts in my ticket basket.

A review of Back to Black: The Music of Amy Winehouse, Fringe 2022

August 21, 2022 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Enough of the classics to satisfy your Amy Winehouse cravings and enough selected from off the beaten path for the gig not to feel too samey.

A review of Circa: Humans 2.0, Fringe 2022

August 18, 2022 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A circus might have someone fling themselves daringly from one tower to another without missing or falling short and landing unpleasantly with a flop on the hard ground. Circa: Humans 2.0 has the flings, but the towers are made from people.

A review of Any Suggestions, Doctor? The Improvised Doctor Who Parody, Fringe 2022

August 17, 2022 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I enjoyed Any Suggestions, Doctor? The Improvised Doctor Who Parody by ASDImprov, but your experience will be different. It’s a different show each night.

A review of Buffy: Revamped, Fringe 2022

August 15, 2022 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A worthy tribute to the best of Buffy the Vampire slayer, the wholesome highs and lows of the plots, characters and writing.

A review of Drunk Women Solving Crime, Fringe 2022

August 14, 2022 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Fun and educational in surprisingly equal measure, but I’m not sure all the episodes are so rooted in history. Even if Drunk Women Solving Crime usually focuses on more contemporary acts, I’d still be curious to give the podcast a whirl.

A review of Alasdair Beckett-King: Nevermore, Fringe 2022

August 14, 2022 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Make time even if you must steal a clock or two for Nevermore, bribe, swap or flatter people if you need to trade tickets. If you’re in Edinburgh this August, see Alasdair Beckett-King.

A review of Alice Brine: Brinestorm, Fringe 2022

August 13, 2022 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I was a bit intimidated at first but was soon won over. Alice keeps the audience wrapt, doesn’t pick on them and lays down the truthbombs.

Girdy checking out Herringbone in Goldenache after it's @buzzworkslife refurb. It's looking great and tasting amazing.
Girdy (aka Andrew) celebrated St Andrews Day and @Sabzi_2021, a great Ferry Road restaurant, finally getting their 9 o'clock licence by having the Haggis Paneer Kofta. How's that for a fusion? Success and success!
Girdy can happily confirm that @fortitudecoffee's new Abbey Mount location is just as good as York Place: fewer steps, more places to rest your feet and great coffee.
Girdy & Birdy were feeling festive as they enjoyed a ride on the #Forth1BigWheel as part of their Christmas night out! #EdinburghChristmas #EdinburghChristmasMarket #edinburgh @edinburghschristmas
We went up the #Forth1BigWheel and managed to time our descent with the scream-making flyer behind the #ScottMonument. Doesn't it look like an #uap?
After touring the #CastleOfLight the other day, Girdy and Birdy popped into @august37burgers for tasty burgers, friendly service and warmth! Do you know how the venue got its name?
