How comedy captured the Edinburgh Fringe: part 3

In the third part of our Fringe history, two long-forgotten venues put comedy before theatre with the help of Austin Powers and a Wonder Dog.

Ben Venables, The Skinny, 11th July 2017

Re-run of the brash, short-lived '94 Scotcom. Writers Alan Cumming and Forbes Masson play flight stewards dreaming of the big time (or the long haul). There are a few neat lines and left-field touches (microwaved teeth, a Trekobsessed captain), but the supremely kitsch titles are the real Highlight.

Radio Times, 13th January 2009

I award five funny bones to Health And Efficiency (BBC1) and Bottom (BBC2). Four to Ellen and Roseanne (both Channel 4). Three to Fantasy Football League and Darts (both BBC2). Two to The High Life for Cumming and Masson, a double act working with a pair of scissors.
