Review: Stressful Emergency Situation, Etcetera Theatre
This is a play you want to discuss with someone immediately after you leave the theatre.
-
Review: Cruising, Pleasance Courtyard
A fun, heartfelt play about protests, love triangles and bravery on the choppy seas that guarantees you won't leave feeling seasick.
-
Review: The Big Bite-Size Breakfast Show, Pleasance Courtyard
Five shorts presented without any cutting of corners. The perfect opener to another day at the Fringe and a chance to catch new work by exciting new writers.

Review: Do Better: A Dramagedy, Olive Studio at Greenside @ George Street
A deeply moving show that uses magic and laughter to find a path forward through grief.
-
Review: Only Bones, Assembly Roxy
A wibbly wobbly man does remarkable things with his body in a delightfully extraordinary performance that includes knee-synching to song… Weird maybe but truly breathtaking!
-
Review: Ed Gaughan: The Emperor, Just the Tonic at The Caves
A side-splitting, ridiculous hour of clever, crafted comedy and music from an absolute master.
-
Review: Jellyfish, Underbelly George Square
The quest to live forever proves amusing for our rather unlikeable 100-year-old twins. It's a show filled with great ideas, but the ending needs to be reconsidered for the piece to be truly great.

Review: Very Hot. Very Messy. Underbelly Cowgate
Georgia Polly-Taylor is a talent we should all embrace. She clowns, she farts, she does puppetry, and she leaves the audience in tears of laughter.
-
Review: Dan Lees and Tom Curzon: The Sonic Joy Orchestra, Banshee’s Labyrinth
Off the rails musical masterwork
-
Review: Renée Rossi: God Bomb, Hen & Chickens Theatre
An irreverent, energetic and thought-provoking celebration of human goodness that challenges the absurdities of organised religion.
