EDINBURGH 2017: Review: SAGE FRANCIS AND B DOLAN PRESENT: TRICKNOLOGY, New Town Theatre ImageSage Francis & B. Dolan have returned to the Fringe for another year bring their spoken word slam poetry with a twist. The twist being they are not simply going through old material but now have a set show taking an attack at motivational speakers, self-help groups, life coaches and battle rap itself. 'Think it, see it, feel it, know it, smell it, stop it!' is the mantra of the show.

Both these bearded giants of spoken word have some amazing poetry moments and genuinely funny set pieces around mocking any group that offers false promises and preys on the weak. For the most part the stories are light hearted and at times quite silly with some darker moments which could have perhaps been explored further. Both areclearly passionate about their poetry, rap and stories it's great to watch. The lighter moments do tend to feel underwritten and a bit
silly just for the sake of it.

If you love slam poetry and spoken word this is a must see show of the Fringe bringing some old classic Sage Francis & B. Dolan to some modern material. They are a duo that have great foundations and if they keep this up could be on the road for an amazing show at the Fringe in the future.
