A One Line Review For Every Show I've Seen At The Fringe 2017
They are in no particular order, just as I could remember them. More to be added.
Happily Never After
Tim Burton Improv Musical, great to see a close nit team of improvisers having fun.
Into The Woods
Stunning Performances, beautiful set and one of the more human tellings of the story I've seen.
Atlantic A Scottish Story
If you don’t cry, you’re heartless.
Atlantic America In the Great War
A peppy show that reminds us of some of the more brilliant things about the US.
Who’s Line Is It Anyway
A reliable standard that I found thrilling, always guaranteed to make you laugh.
Jan Ravens: Difficult Woman
Amazing outing for a debut fringe show, sharp wit and warm raptor
Max and Ivan: The Reunion
Sketch comedy that’s precise, seamless and hilarious.
Blind Mirth
Not their strongest show in the last few years but still clever!
Sarah Kendall One Seventeen
I’ve never seen a comedian command a room with stories like that, stellar.
Catriona Knox: Adorable Deplorable
ENERGY and stage presence that made this show a hysterical charming
Men With Coconuts
Still happy to argue one of the best improv groups in the US and we have them here in Scotland
Showstopper: The Improvised Musical
The reason they won an Oliver award is quite evident, I was sore from laughing
Late Night Gimp Fight
LADS LADS LADS, but who are actually alright and for all the brash bravado and can craft a gag/skit really bloody well
Murder She Didn’t Write
Intelligent format and sharp improvisers make this murder master a hoot
Macblair
Clever concept that was executed very well, an interesting telling of the Blair Story
100 Ways To Tie A Shoelace
Theatrical Charm and pithy humour, I rate this production company very highly
Fred Macaulay: In Conversation
Fred and guest make for a nice and funny afternoon show
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Some references a bit over my head but well performed and a story that resonated with the room
Just A Minute
It’s been going for 600 years for a reason
Out Of The Blue
High notes and high camp, acappella that has you dancing in your seat.
The Toxic Avenger
In your face funny, belting to the rafters with this toxically addictive show.
Sh*tfaced Showtime, The Wizard Of Oz
A show you could see multiple times and still enjoy, it’s an absolute riot!
SNAP
I had heard so much about this show that I was really expecting more, still fun just not mesmerising.
Ordinary Days
A charming and funny show, I loved it.
