From solo shows to improv and double acts ... why Lloyd is the face and the future of the fringe.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 7th August 2014Come Heckle Christ: it's news - but it's not comedy
At Edinburgh, newsworthiness and cultural clout get mashed together. Sometimes it works. For Joshua Ladgrove's thinner-than-thin imitation of Christ, it doesn't.
