Review: You Are What You Eat, theSpace on the Mile
A pair of bubbling best friends treat us to a silly crime thriller in 70s London. It's silly, it's corny, but it's brilliant fun.
-
Review: Teen Spirit, theSpace @ Surgeons’ Hall
It's a show that still needs work, but there is no denying it’s already a fun offering, especially if you're a bit of rock music geek!

Review: Cogito Ergo… Something?, Bedlam Theatre
A classic piece of farce that takes more than a little influence from the TV series Bottom.
-
Review: Verity Sharpe: Landlord’s Wet Dream, Assembly Bristo Square
A mix of stand-up and poetry; it's the latter when Verity Sharpe comes fully alive.
-
Review: Otuz Bir, Venue 13
Tackling female violence with a talking vagina might seem tasteless, but Otuz Bir proves that anything is possible.
-
Review: A Vacuum at the Centre, Paradise in the Vault
There are moments of brilliance, but all too often this show descends into uncontrolled chaos that overshadows all the good.
-
Review: B*tch Eat Dog, Greenside @ George Street
A chaotic puppet sketch show with lots of great moments throughout that suggest there is plenty more to come from this team.
-
Review: Sexatron, Greenside @ George Street
Poorly produced, and you sense half of it is made up as they go along. But it's just so damn funny, you can forgive all that.
-
Review: Danger Plan!, Hoots @ Potterrow
Anxiety and the need to plan to the nth degree form the basis of Sophia Wolbrom's show, told with richness, humour and a few cracking songs.

Review: Stressful Emergency Situation, Etcetera Theatre
This is a play you want to discuss with someone immediately after you leave the theatre.
