Edinburgh Festival
It may only be one month of the year, but we always have some of our team eager to head North and see what’s happening. So we thought we should collect all of our Edinburgh content into one convenient place for you.

Review: Pecking Order, Underbelly
Madcap scenes are interspersed with beautifully choreographed movement to create an interesting sketch show. It requires a little more focus, but there's no doubting the talent on display.
-
Review: Brick, C Aurora
A slow creeper of a play, humour and ranting leading you astray until the ending takes you completely by surprise.
-
Review: Dan Lees and Tom Curzon: The Sonic Joy Orchestra, Banshee’s Labyrinth
Off the rails musical masterwork
-
Review: This is Not Hansel and Gretel, Banshee Labyrinth
A flowing retelling of the classic fairy tale. There’s no doubting the storytelling talent, but the show is too long to hold concentration fully throughout.

Review: Good Girl, Gilded Balloon Patter House
Mimi Collins puts it all out there in the most powerful way possible as she reclaims her story and her life. BDSM as a support network is quite the eye opener.
-
Review: Nothing Personal, Gilded Balloon Patter House
A clever portrayal of trying to be "one of the boys" in the stand-up world, no matter the cost.
-
Review: Resonant Void, PBH’s Free Fringe @ Diggers Leith
Hypnotic exploration of thresholds, texture, light, and space.
-
The Freedom of Madness: Unpacking The House of Pitman
Luke Pitman on neurodivergence, breaking free from people-pleasing, and why the best clowning puts the audience first
-
Review: Smile: The Charlie Chaplin Story, Pleasance Dome
Marcel Cole brilliantly recaptures Chaplin’s genius in a physical comedy show full of laughs and pathos, blending mime, audience participation and the extraordinary story behind the legend.

Review: The Night Ali Died, theSpace on the Mile
An engaging and tense play, with twists and turns that keep you guessing right until the very end.
