This show is laugh-out-loud from start to finish. If you already love Anna Mann then know that this is her best show yet and you mustn't miss it. If you've yet to discover the creation of Colin Hoult get a ticket now to see an acting tour-de-force as Anna and other characters take on fascism.
Having effectively cured all depression in last year's smash-hit hour that was 'funnier than almost all other shows at the Fringe' (**** Telegraph), actress Anna Mann returns to take on the terrifying rise of fascism. Fear not, gentle liberals, mother Mann is here. 'Deliciously funny' **** (Times). 'Smart, absurd and unpredictable' **** (Chortle.co.uk). **** (List). ***** (EdFringeReview.com). As seen in Porridge (BBC Two), Murder in Successville (BBC Three) and Anna's own Sky Arts Valentine's Short.

Robert Peacock, The Wee Review, 26th August 2017Why Fringe comics don't care about May, Trump & Brexit
In a sweaty Edinburgh cellar a bearded young comedian is telling us about the joys of deciding to stop being left-wing for a while. It is, we assume,
a joke. After all, the comedian concerned, Fin Taylor, spent his previous Edinburgh hour, Whitey McWhiteface, lecturing us about the woes of white privilege, albeit while owning up to being one of its beneficiaries. This is just another ironic pose, right, the precursor to some dismissive material about the usual baddies - Brexit, May and Trump?
