With more than 100k fans worldwide on Facebook and over 20 million views on YouTube, the unique and critically lauded Puddles Pity Party is a must-see for the music and comedic talents of one of the world's most famous clowns. Star of the Olivier Award-winning production of 'La Soiree', Puddles continues to trot the globe, singing his sad anthems for all the party people and finally bringing his comedy cabaret to Edinburgh! 'Without a single spoken word Puddles can muster more audience chemistry than most ... it is an enthralling performance.' ****1/2 (Advertiser, Adelaide).

When poking fun at your audience turns into bullying

The rules of engagement in theatre have changed, and now audience participation is everywhere. But artists have a responsibility to take care of those they pick on.

So far so good with the shows that I have seen. It has been varied.

Paul Sinha, 19th August 2015

Cabaret in Edinburgh is going from strength to strength

A welcome addition to the Edinburgh Fringe has been the continued growth of cabaret, so much so that it has, for the past few years, had its own section in the Edinburgh Fringe brochure. A valuable art form, it is frequently neglected, rarely getting the proper acknowledgement it deserves.

Richard Jordan, The Stage, 19th August 2015

The Edinburgh festival in 24 hours

How many Edinburgh shows can you watch back to back? With no sleep and a lot of running between theatres, one festival first-timer takes in everything from the Game of Thrones musical to an unexpectedly violent meditation class.
