Aaron has been doing stand-up comedy without standing up for eight years now, and it's time for that to change! So he's attempting to do something he's never done before.

EDINBURGH 2023: Review: TOM MORAN IS A BIG FAT FILTHY DISGUSTING LIAR, Pleasance
What's the worst lie you've told? How far would you go to keep it a secret? Tom is a charismatic people-pleaser, an expert in empathy, but someone who struggles with the truth.

EDINBURGH 2023: Review: COWBOYS AND LESBIANS, Pleasance Dome
Cowboys and Lesbians, quite simply, does what it says on the tin.

Falling into the depths of obsession and addiction, Holly Sewell’s play Dazzling is a personal, perceptive one-woman-show from a talented team.

EDINBURGH 2023: Review: THE ST ANDREWS REVUE, Just The Tonic At The Caves
The St Andrews Revue's type of comedy may not be for everyone and the lack of variety may leave some disappointed but there is no denying that the cast have mastered the silliness they present before us.

All from the township areas of Lwandle/Nomzamo and areas from Macassar outside Cape Town.

EDINBURGH 2023: Review: I HOPE YOUR FLOWERS BLOOM, Scottish Storytelling Centre
Flitting between romantic obsession and botanical description, this semi-autobiographical piece by Raymond Wilson offers a raw, moving and genuinely humorous exploration of healthy masculinity, self-worth and working-class access to nature.
EDINBURGH 2023: Review: TIM MURRAY IS WITCHES, Underbelly
From The Craft to Wicked to Hocus Pocus, Murray will have you howling at the moon in a tribute to queerness and how we discover our powers once we find our coven.
EDINBURGH 2023: Review: COME DIE WITH ME, Just The Tonic At The Grassmarket Centre
Happy Sad Productions present a parody murder mystery musical with Come Die With Me.
EDINBURGH 2023: MOG THE FORGETFUL CAT, Underbelly, Bristo Square, McEwan Hall
Mog meows, yowls and purrs, Goodchild moves convincingly with the true grace of a cat, truly embodying the movement and mannerisms and so we fully believe the action.
EDINBURGH 2023: Review: OLIVIA XING: PARTY SCHOOL, Just The Tonic At The Grassmarket Centre
Olivia Xing presents an underdeveloped hour of stand up.
EDINBURGH 2023: Review: THE INVISIBLE MAN, TheSpace On The Mile
A farcical retelling of a classic tale that leaves you wondering why.

Susan doesn't think she's 'Wonder Woman' in the traditional sense, more that she wonders what she's doing with her life.
EDINBURGH 2023: Review: CHRISSIE & THE SKIDDLE WITCH: A CLIMATE CHANGE MUSICAL, Greenside @ Riddle's Court
Geologise Theatre brings its environment-focussed musical to the Edinburgh Fringe.
EDINBURGH 2023: Review: SH!T-FACED SHAKESPEARE®: ROMEO AND JULIET, Pleasance At EICC, Pentland Theatre
Sh!t-faced Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet is entertaining, but it is just not as funny as it could be.

Larry Owens Live is a powerful show that will have you in awe of Owens’s talent and clamouring for more.

Captivate Theatre’s production of Sunshine on Leith walks the line between emotional and funny to near-perfection, providing an endlessly entertaining performance of this much-loved show.
EDINBURGH 2023: Review: SUSIE MCCABE: FEMME FATALITY, Assembly George Square Studios
Femme Fatality is a larger-than-life hour of stand-up that guarantees non-stop laughs from start to finish, with McCabe’s witty dry humour making comedy look as easy as putting up a shelf (just don’t ask a man to do it).
EDINBURGH 2023: Review: FRANKENSTEIN, TheSpace @ Venue 45
This stripped back production of Frankenstein plays host to some inventive use of lighting and some great performances.
