Elis James review
Friday 12th August 2011
Elis James is a polite, charming and smooth talking comedian.
Late Night Gimp Fight review
Friday 12th August 2011
The humping, wanking, vomiting, incestuous prostitution, backstreet abortion and diarrhoea aren't the most disgusting parts of this show.
Little Howard's Big Show review
Friday 12th August 2011
Little Howard's Big Show is silly, clever, original and unlike anything else you'll see on the Fringe.
Matt Tiller review
Friday 12th August 2011
Matt Tiller's punchlines and asides didn't always hit home in the room but were sharp and astutely observed.
Dave Gorman review
Friday 12th August 2011
A wonderful, joke-packed hour, delivered by a master of online and onstage comedy.
Margaret Cho review
Friday 12th August 2011
For a supposedly dangerous performer, Margaret Cho's show is distinctively unambitious.
Sadia Azmat review
Friday 12th August 2011
Taking on her first Fringe, Sadia Azmat taps into a rich comic vein with her stories of working in a call centre.
Steve Pretty review
Friday 12th August 2011
Although there were humorous moments to this musical hour from Steve Pretty, there simply wasn't enough to qualify it as a comedy piece.
Paul Foot review
Friday 12th August 2011
Paul Foot is brilliant performer, with an expertly crafted surreal set. It's not a show for everyone, but it is alternative comedy at it's very best.
Anil Desai review
Friday 12th August 2011
Under-prepared Anil Desai gets the worst BCG review so far.
James Acaster review
Friday 12th August 2011
With JAmes Acaster you realise you're spending time with someone who is on the brink of something very special.
Zoe Lyons review
Friday 12th August 2011
Zoe Lyons keeps her audience together with her mix of light and dark, snuggies and a fondness for fudge. Definitely worth seeing if you get the chance.
Tara Flynn review
Friday 12th August 2011
While Tara Flynn songs were all well and good in their own right, they were sadly not overtly humorous.
Alex Horne review
Friday 12th August 2011
Alex Horne has all the skills of an inspirational lecturer but ultimately, regardless of how enjoyable the hour is, there are just not enough laughs.
James Sherwood review
Friday 12th August 2011
James Sherwood is desperately concerned about the meaning of good and bad, but his softly spoken show never reaches either extreme.
WitTank review
Friday 12th August 2011
The WitTank guys are able to spin absolute hilarity out of a relatively small budget and give everyday situations a beautifully surreal spin with an ease that a lot of sketch shows lack.
Kerry Godliman review
Friday 12th August 2011
There was a sense that the hour was a bit of a struggle to fill and, even with some obvious padding, the show came in under time.
John Robertson Blood & Charm review
Friday 12th August 2011
It's rare that a set so intelligent and interesting delivers so many jokes, and rarer still to see them delivered with such energy and skill.
