Edinburgh Festival Fringe Review: Edinburgh Tonight (****)
If you have very little time to see shows and don't know what to see then this show will produce 7 acts in about 1 hour flat! The acts change daily so no show...
Edinburgh Festival Fringe Review: Batman! Holy Spoof Musical Batstravaganza (**)
This production has a distinctly amateurish corny feel about it with some appallingly over-used puns. The acting at times feels like it needs more depth and the singing needs more polish. The puns...

Edinburgh Festival Fringe Review: The Presentment (***)
This heavyweight ecclesiastical play deals with the political 'hot potato' of gay priests being active in the church. It shows how the younger generation have become more accepting of such a change but the...
Edinburgh Festival Fringe Review: Leo (*****)
Leo is a superb physical one-man dance show show that is highly likely to have you on your feet by the end, giving a standing ovation. The show is mind-bending, illusionistic and spellbinding.

Fringe Review: Scary Gorgeous (***)

Edinburgh Festival Fringe Review: Sharron Matthews Superstar: Jesus Thinks I’m Funny (***)

Edinburgh Festival Fringe Review: Anton’s Uncles (*****)
In this fresh and physical look at Chekhov’s ground-breaking play, Uncle Vanya, only the men remain, wrestling with their desires. The Los Angeles-based Theatre Movement Bazaar explodes this classic play of lives unlived, merging...
Edinburgh Festival Fringe Review: The Hamiltons – High Jinks with the Hamiltons (****)
