Brighton Fringe: Charles Booth: VSOP - review
Comedian Charles Booth's hour-long show at The Warren presents a brisk menagerie of idiosyncratic characters, from a homosexual fisherman desperately hiding in the closet to a psychotic Scottish flatmate obsessed with soup, with enthusiasm and élan. They're not all hits - far from it - but there is sparks of wit and imagination throughout, and Booth trots through his material at such a lick that should one character fail to impress, another will be along momentarily that might. And his vocal versatility is remarkable throughout.

Martin Walker, Broadway Baby, 3rd August 2015Meet Charles Booth - Ed Fringe 2015
I started off doing regular sketch comedy and improv for many years and even went to Toronto for a couple to study at the world famous Second City, where comics like Mike Myers, John Candy and Martin Short got their start. But when I got back to the UK I had no one to do sketches with, so I thought, "Hey, why not just do a show on my own!" Deer in the Spotlights will be my third time up in Edinburgh as a solo sketch performer. I'm really excited about this year's show; it's got a big and bold personality but with some real heart and passion. And I start off with an 8 minute interpretive ballet routine about a sperm's journey to the ovum, so you can't really top that!
