Seven must-see comedy shows at the Edinburgh Fringe
Your laughter muscles duly rested by a diet of Dostoevsky and Adam Sandler movies throughout the early summer, you'll be ready and crying out by now for the comedic onslaught of the Edinburgh Fringe. Everywhere from street corners to enormo-venues, you'll find all kinds of people vying to make you think they're the most hilarious thing since internet videos of cats, be they stand-ups, sketch troupes, improvisers, absurdist performance artists or just plain freeform weirdoes. Let us help you sort the funny hahas from the funny hows by highlighting six shows we think will be definite winners this Fringe, from promising up-and-comers to senior stars.

Jay Richardson, The Scotsman, 8th August 2016Comedy is still king, but with less attendants
The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is with us and this year, more than ever comedy is king. Yet, this year, more than ever, stand-up comedy rules supreme, and it's to be expected. Not only is the nation on the search for post-Brexit referendum, negative interest rates, pre-President Trump laughs, it's on the search for cheap laughs. That is, recession laughs, shows which are relatively cheap to stage.
