David O'Doherty presents: Rory Sheridan's Tales of The Antarctica review
Friday 26th August 2011
Rory Sheridan's Tales of The Antarctica is anything but a vanity project, and David O'Doherty's has crafted a splendid tale of tundra-based derring-do.
Horne Section review
Friday 26th August 2011
The Horne Section is one of the more elaborate events enlivening Edinburgh's twilight hours this year.
Matthew Crosby review
Friday 26th August 2011
It was interesting to see Matthew Crosby on his own for an hour without the support of Pappy's next to him, and he didn't disappoint.
Idiots of Ants review
Friday 26th August 2011
Idiots Of Ants always have nice ideas and they are an incredibly likeable bunch.
The Best Of Clever Peter review
Friday 26th August 2011
It may seem strange Clever Peter are doing a 'Best Of' show when they've only done three Fringes, but their sketches are so good they are definitely worth repeat viewings.
Tom Deacon review
Friday 26th August 2011
End-of-punchline silence as Tom Deacon's jokes bombed almost became part of the act.
Women on the Fringe of Success
Friday 26th August 2011
Lynne Parker, from the Funny Women organisation, writes about female comedians at the Edinburgh Fringe...

Casual Violence review
Thursday 25th August 2011
It's very tightly choreographed and the performances are incredibly intense.
Fitzrovia Radio Hour review
Thursday 25th August 2011
If you fancy a break from the rush of the Fringe, then pop along to the Gilded Balloon for some teatime entertainment of the old-fashioned kind.
Ian D Montfort review
Thursday 25th August 2011
Ian D Montfort (aka Tom Binns) handles the audience interaction brilliantly, with very funny results.

Wedding Band: A Comedy by Charlie Baker review
Wednesday 24th August 2011
The issue with Charlie Baker's play is the plot, which is pretty slight. There are storylines set up here which are then either resolved too easily, or simply left hanging.
Andrew Maxwell review
Wednesday 24th August 2011
Impressively funny, thoughtful stuff, told from the perspective of a chap coming to terms with getting older.
Ed Reardon: A Writer's Burden review
Wednesday 24th August 2011
This stage offshoot of Ed Reardon's Week is an autobiographical dawdle through the ups and downs of a lengthy literary career.
Beta Males review
Wednesday 24th August 2011
The Beta Males weave a hilarious web in The Train Job, executed with brilliant timing and delivery.
Axis of Awesome review
Wednesday 24th August 2011
Axis of Awesome are capable of holding a show, but it felt weak and a bit insipid.
Dead Cat Bounce review
Wednesday 24th August 2011
A Dead Cat Bounce gig is a lesson to us all in what a jaw-achingly brilliant mix music and comedy can be.
Lee Camp review
Wednesday 24th August 2011
Lee Camp clearly misses the whoops and cheers that probably greet his diatribes back home.
