Review: David O’Doherty – Highway to the David Zone, Fringe 2025

August 10, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

David O’Doherty’s “Highway to the David Zone” is a delightful and more mature show, packed with his signature wit and charm, and is highly recommended for all Fringe-goers.

Review: Jess Robinson – Your Song, Fringe 2025

August 6, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A five-star review for a high-energy, hilarious show. Jess Robinson is a phenomenal singer and impressionist who fills the prestigious Assembly stage with ease. Even if you’re not an Elton John superfan, this tribute is a must-see for its incredible talent and comedic genius.

Review: Takashi Wakasugi – Welcome to Japan, Fringe 2024

August 4, 2024 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

“Welcome to Japan” is a mixed bag of comedy with insightful observations on cultural differences and a few too many fart jokes, but Takashi Wakasugi shows potential for growth and a stronger focus on cultural humour in future performances.

A review of Police Cops: The Musical, Fringe 2023

August 9, 2023 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Police Cops is a hilarious musical comedy that is politically relevant and insightful. It is funny and charismatic. The songs are catchy, the choreography is impressive, and the acting is top-notch. Police Cops is a must-see for anyone who loves a good laugh and a thought-provoking, yet silly, story.

Riotous. I rate David O’Doherty high in my list of favourite comedians and “You Have to Laugh” is my favourite encounter with him and his crappy keyboard yet. If you don’t know this Irish entertainer yet, then you’re missing out. He mixes music with jokes and storytelling. As with the best comedians, O’Doherty’s skill is […]

Review of Frank Skinner: Man in a Suit, Fringe 2014

August 9, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A mixed show. Man in a Suit is 90 minutes long when 60 minutes would have been better. EdFringe’s suitability rating says “PG” but Skinner moves further away from his friendly TV persona and towards a foul mouthed smut merchant as the time drags on. One for old school Frank Skinner fans only.

Review of David O’Doherty Has Checked Everything, Fringe 2014

July 31, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It was a dark and stormy night… David O’Doherty had flown into Edinburgh that morning to kick off his latest show – in the biggest venue I’ve seen him in for the festival – and he had the crowd as soon as he stepped out onto the stage. I think we’d spent the 15 minutes […]
