Martin Walker, Broadway Baby, 13th August 2016Ten must see character acts at Edinburgh Fringe 2016
At this time of year, hundreds of middle-class drama students descend upon Edinburgh to showcase their "talent" in poorly crafted one-act plays and under-rehearsed sketch shows.

To help you avoid that pain, here's my recommendations for ten character acts you should go and see instead.
