The Guardian, 5th August 2016Kieran Hodgson: Edinburgh Fringe 2016 interview
Last year the queues for Kieran's show stretched right around the street and left the many who couldn't get in sorely disappointed (including us!). We finally caught his homage to Lance Armstrong in London and quickly understood what all the fuss was about. One of the best one-man, character-driven storytellers around.

Short Com, 26th July 2016Edinburgh's Free Fringe is no comedy graveyard
The fringe is no longer centred around the 'big four' venues. Whether you're a performer or punter, take it from an award-winning comic - and get out more.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 20th July 2016Making the leap from the safety of sketch comedy
Katy Brand and Kieran Hodgson were intimidated at first by the idea of going it alone on stage. But plenty of comedians journey between sketch troupes and solo performance - taking refuge in one and soul-searching in the other
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 14th July 201620 sketch & Fringe character comedy recommendations
One of the great joys of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the chance to see an assortment of mad weirdos push comedy to new levels with inventive new characters and brilliant new sketch narratives that offer something different to the great stand-up also on offer. But who to see that is an example of the previous paragraph? Well, you're in luck because here are our picks of the best sketch and character comedy at the Edinburgh Fringe 2016.
