Moon dances, chaotic comedy and a hymn to envy.
Murdo MacLeod, The Guardian, 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?

Brian Logan, The Guardian, 25th August 2017With Brexit, what has happened to our sense of humour?
