Review: Trygve Wakenshaw - Nautilus, Soho Theatre

Comedy comes in many, many forms. From sitcoms to stand-up, there is always someone on the circuit trying something new to amuse the punters. However, using the traditional art forms of mime and clowning, Trygve Wakenshaw has created a comedy masterpiece that is intelligently structured and intertwined, yet so simple it burrows right to the childlike funny bone of every audience member present.

Review: The Showstoppers, Udderbelly

With years of experience and an incredible talent providing the foundation to its shows, it is no surprise that The Showstoppers never ceases to prove itself as being at the forefront of improvised comedy.

Feature: Guilt and Shame - Going Straight

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the largest arts festival in the world, serving up a plethora of entertainment in the form of theatre, comedy, dance and everything in between. One of the most prominent forms at the Fringe, steeped in comedy tradition yet constantly growing and expanding, is sketch comedy. With new acts coming up all the time there is one duo truly holding its own - or possibly each other's - and growing a dedicated following. With its new show, Going Straight, heading to Edinburgh at the end of July, Guilt and Shame is hitting the Fringe. And it's going to be big.
