A review of Paul Merton’s Impro Chums, Fringe 2016

August 17, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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 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 […]

Review of Paul Merton’s Impro Chums, Fringe 2013

August 17, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s the same thumbnail of Impro Chums from Edinburgh Reviews’ 2012 look at the show but the line-up was different when this blogger attended the penultimate 2013 show. We had Paul Merton, of course, Suki Webster, Richard Vranch, Lee Simpson and Steve Steen. Mr Steen was new to me and he was very funny. I […]

As I waited in line for Paul Merton’s Impro Chums, around the back of the Pleasance, next to the strategically and cleverly placed new bar, I was treated to an oddball conversation about Paul Merton’s Impro Chums from a pair of Morningside Grannies.

A "do the bloomin' washing" chant!
I'm impressed at how square this... mulch(?) still is in the back of the truck. I'd have thought it would at least have succumbed to gravity and spilled forward! I guess @rbgedinburgh gardeners have advanced magicks!
This is what it looks like when @thebonnienook and @gingerbeardbakes team to to make a sunny Thursday even better.
I'm a fan of this modern and inclusive take on #leith 's Perserve motto.
I haven't finished @thebonningtonleith 's menu and there's a new one coming. In fact, the new food is on, the paperwork still needs updated. It is an update so I won't start again, I'll update and carry on!
I don't know what it is, but I like the hat and the dapper attitude of this character chilling at a Granton bus stop.
