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.
-
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.
