Just Some 1 Star Reviews From The Edinburgh Fringe 2018

August 27, 2018 by Chris Quilietti in Lifestyle

 

Publication: Broadway Baby  Reviewer: Dan Sareen  Show: Stand And Deliver 

"Sadly, this is one of the worst types of show that can be found at the Fringe. A simple, inoffensive piece of new writing that steals from a wide range of source materials” FULL REVIEW


Publication: Three Weeks  Reviewer: Andy Leask  Show: Blue Heart

"I genuinely found myself resenting the company for wasting the audience’s time with these ill-conceived, unconvincingly performed scripts” FULL REVIEW


Publication: The List  Reviewer: Henry Northmore  Show: Bon the Musical

"Under rehearsed, the cast often look confused and scenes last for five minutes before they aimlessly wander off stage.” FULL REVIEW 


Publication:  British Theatre Guide  Reviewer: Philip Fisher  Show: Big in Belgium

"both the delivery and the writing have a tendency towards the soporific" FULL REVIEW


Publication: The List  Reviewer: Eddie Harrison  Show: (insert slogan here)

"Billed as a 'fevered excavation of adverts, objects and longings', it offers only pretentious notions and woeful execution." FULL REVIEW


Publication: Broadway Baby  Reviewer: Carla van der Sluijs  Show: Departure Date

"a comedy about death that sadly lacks life” FULL REVIEW 


Publication: Three Weeks  Reviewer: Andy Leask  Show: Ah Dinnae Ken

"their characters are wafer-thin, unconvincing and, worst of all, unfunny” FULL REVIEW 


Publication: Fest  Reviewer: Evan Beswick  Show: Trumpageddon

"How do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways” FULL REVIEW


Publication:  Chortle  Reviewer: Paul Fleckney  Show: Nathan Cassidy: If I Caused the Financial Crash of 2008

"Instead, it’s narcissistic, tedious and deeply unfunny” FULL REVIEW

Review: Le Monde Hotel - Edinburgh

Le Monde was a place I’d known about for a while and as soon as I saw the opportunity to stay for a few nights, I took the chance.

My Kind Of Pride

I live in a Scottish town, not a small one, but small enough that I wouldn’t feel comfortable holding hands walking down the street. That can be a strange thing to explain to someone, that in certain places, I don’t feel comfortable holding hands with my other half, and that one of those places is my hometown.

Enjoy that? Me too, subscribe to TGG email!
