2011 Edinburgh Fringe
Edinburgh Fringe features 2011
Bob Downe review
Saturday 20th August 2011
Compellingly camp Aussie crooner Bob Downe has been away from the Fringe for four years, but absence clearly makes the heart grow fonder, and Bob go blonder.
The Behemoth review
Saturday 20th August 2011
In the nicest possible way, Nadia Kamil and John-Luke Roberts do have wonderfully warped minds.
Jigsaw review
Saturday 20th August 2011
We get straight into the jokes without introductions or set-up and, with sketches lasting more than a minute a rarity, the pace rarely lets up.
Meryl O'Rourke review
Saturday 20th August 2011
Meryl O'Rourke's charming delivery and sharply observed tales leave the audience in no doubt that they've just seen one of this year's Fringe highlights.
Chris Mayo review
Saturday 20th August 2011
At points in the show the audience is forced to wonder whether they're paying to act as silent counsellors.
The Three Englishmen review
Saturday 20th August 2011
To spend an hour with the Englishmen will see a lot more belly laughs than many of the sketch shows at the Fringe.
Life Doctor review
Saturday 20th August 2011
The Life Doctor is one hell of a confusing sketch show. Ambitious, but missing something.
A Betrayal of Penguins review
Saturday 20th August 2011
A show performed by three guys with a real sense of fun, but let down by chaotic delivery.
Bob & Jim review
Saturday 20th August 2011
Bob and Jim bring a contemporary edge to the old music hall acts in their new show Modern Urges, an all singing all dancing variety extravaganza with lashings of triumphant tomfoolery.
Henning Wehn: No Surrender review
Saturday 20th August 2011
Henning Wehn's performance is assured and at times hilarious but it just feels that he is treading well-worn ground.
Asher Treleaven review
Saturday 20th August 2011
A well-handled and enjoyable fourth solo show from Asher Treleaven.
Tim FitzHigham review
Saturday 20th August 2011
A great performance, made even more interesting and exciting by the genuine risks the comedian undertook to put together this remarkable show.
Michael J Dolan review
Saturday 20th August 2011
Misery guts Michael J Dolan delivers some funny stories, but his set does have some issues.
Barry & Stuart review
Saturday 20th August 2011
Barry & Stuart combine brilliant magic tricks with top class humour to create one of the best shows at the Festival.
Chris Martin review
Saturday 20th August 2011
All in all, an impressive solo debut from Chris Martin (no, not that one).
Morgan & West review
Saturday 20th August 2011
Morgan & West get a solid 4 stars for a genuinely rich, wholehearted, fun family entertainment with mind-boggling trickery and many comical hum-dingers.
Jimeoin review
Saturday 20th August 2011
Jimeoin has that rare talent of being able to carve out some of the funniest material from the simplest observations.
Chris Ramsey review
Saturday 20th August 2011
If you require a man who is enthusiastic, meaningful, incredibly friendly, full of cheeky charm, and hugely funny, Chris Ramsey confidently gives every box a large tick.
Isy Suttie review
Saturday 20th August 2011
It's perhaps slightly surprising that Isy Suttie is still nestled away in a low-key 5pm slot despite being quite a well-known telly face these days.
Gareth Richards review
Saturday 20th August 2011
Gareth Richards could have done with writing a few more jokes rather than relying on a garrulous manner and waves of goodwill.
