Si Hawkins, British Comedy Guide, 28th August 2015Where to find the Cowgatehead comedians
There was a row before this year's Fringe even started. It left many comedians venueless and searching for a new home: The Skinny seeks out the whereabouts of the 'Cowgatehead refugees'.
Stu Black, The Skinny, 7th August 2015More details
A deadbeat character comedy taking you on a journey through the stories
contained within the contents of a forgotten cloakroom, BAGMAN is the debut solo show by Brendan Murphy (NewsRevue, Radio 4's Show What You Wrote, BBC Comedy Feeds) and directed by Hamish MacDougall.
With a set that may include some of the audience's own belongings, each bag on display holds a different character and unwraps the stories we use to clothe ourselves; a stupid and surreal, one man Sesame Street without the puppets.
