Olaf Falafel, the subject of over 75 million views on Vine, brings his debut hour show to the Fringe. Expect nonsense as we journey through a year in the life of an idiot where the only winners are stupidity and silliness. 'Olaf Falafel is an idiot, and wouldn't have it any other way' (Steve Bennett, Chortle.co.uk). 'Skilfully delivered absurdist musings' (ThreeWeeks). 'Olaf Falafel is like a chocolate digestive - very moreish' (Bruce Dessau, BeyondTheJoke.co.uk).

Ten 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. And, if you're visiting the world's biggest arts festival, there's always a danger you'll be bamboozled by fat marketing budgets and slick sales patter into gracing these artistic abortions with your presence. To help you avoid that pain, here's my recommendations for ten character acts you should go and see instead.
