Six months ago, secret agent Mat Ewins was killed and died. Now he's back at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. You may or may not expect intrigue and nonsense about a spy bionically revived to complete his last mission. And the show may be about pizza. Or not.

Martin Walker, Broadway Baby, 17th July 2014The Lolly Jones three minute interview
This Edinburgh Festival Fringe you can witness Lolly Jones tear in to the internet. It's a subjective journey set in a seemingly other worldly parliament and virtual friendships strung together with cat-based, satirical jpegs. Evocative, funny and poignant. Lolly is addicted, unpoked and self-flatteringly adrift at sea.
