Review: 00:45:00, theSpace
45 minutes to decide who lives and who dies, and the audience is very much complicit in these life-and-death decisions. It's a clever idea, but it needs better execution.

Review: Terry’s Been Murdered!, Hen and Chickens
An imaginative, thoughtful and entertaining re-examination of how the murder mystery genre might unfold without one crucial component. Packed full of fun and surprises.

Review: Steve Burns: Alive, Underbelly Cowgate
Steve Burns is a masterful storyteller. This room at Underbelly is full of adoring fans, but you can hear a pin drop as he speaks from a huge video screen behind the iconic Thinking Chair from TV children’s show Blue’s…

Review: Desperate Wee Gay Boy, Underbelly Cowgate
A glorious, crude riot of a show as Ollie trawls through a night of hedonistic behaviour.

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: Stitch in Time: A Knitting Cabaret, theSpace @ Surgeons’ Hall
Songs, history and wool make for a charming hour of performance.
-
Review: Book of Shadows, Underbelly Cowgate
Fabulous fantasy adventure and predictably awesome shadow puppetry, delivered in a brand-new mystical show from Mochinosha.

Review: SeedHeart, Pleasance Courtyard (Below)
A charming suitcase puppetry show demonstrating the consequences of capitalism.

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.
