11 theatre recommendations for the Edinburgh Fringe
Laugh Out London brings you a list of some of the best theatre shows you will see at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2018 that the comedy fan might also like.
Laugh Out London, 30th July 2018Thoughtful comedy at Vault Festival
The damp but strangely cosy arches under Waterloo have been playing host to Vault Festival for six years, and over that time comedy has become a much bigger part of the programme - which now stretches over a generous eight weeks.
Anna Lowman, 18th February 2018Review: Double Trouble with Holt and Talbot
If not the backbone of comedy, double acts are at least a major limb... yet they are somewhat out of fashion, despite the enduring appeal of Ant & Dec. Well, hot on the heels of Inside No. 9's poignant celebration of the comic duo comes a new monthly night dedicated to partnerships.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 19th January 2018Tone of Voice: Comedians Improve Advertising review
Advertising, ideally, finds a single message and pursues it relentlessly and efficiently. No such effectiveness with this new comedy night based on the business, however, which has a good central idea but is way too rough around the edges to pay off properly.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 16th January 2018Live Review: The Battle for Icetopia
The whole enterprise, produced by Alex Hardy and written and directed by Adam Larter has a wonderful "We can't believe we are doing this" atmosphere. It is a glorious triumph of collaborative effort.
Claire Smith, Beyond The Joke, 15th October 2017Review: Tony Law and Friends in the Battle For Icetopia
It's a big, bold and fun show, and a step into territory that most comedians would literally fear to tread. It's reassuring to know that a pulse still beats in the live comedy world away from the weekly treadmill of the clubs.
Paul Fleckney, Chortle, 15th October 2017Joz Norris on people who have escaped the maze of life
One of our favourite comedians Joz Norris would love to escape the rat-race of modern living. He picks out three people he thinks have actually succeeded in leaving the maze.
Laugh Out London, 21st September 2017Edinburgh Fringe Extra
From a poster made out of parsley to bin-based bruises, the BCG team rounds up some interesting and funny stories and stunts from the 2017 Edinburgh Fringe.
British Comedy Guide, 1st September 2017Laugh Out London's Edinburgh Fringe comedy awards 2017
It's that time again. The fringe is almost over. The pubs of Edinburgh can go back to being pubs, Lee Nelson's face can stop blocking the view of Edinburgh Castle and the Edinburgh recycling plant will be busy turning flyers into mulch. So without further a do lets give out the least prestigious awards of the year, the Laugh Out London Comedy awards (or the LOLies)...
Laugh Out London, 25th August 2017Joz Norris picks his perfect playlist
Hi Chortle, I realised today I forgot to include an introductory paragraph to my Perfect Playlist, saying something like "Hello and welcome to my Perfect Playlist!" If it's not too late, is it OK to interpose this paragraph (including these words I'm typing now) into the article just before the first video to function as a nice introduction? Thanks so much, Joz.
