Inspired by true events: a passionate Sue Perkins Superfan, sent to a therapist to deal with her drinking, relays her adventures pursuing Sue.
BWW Review: CONFETTI AND CHAOS, Imagination Workshop
Confetti and Chaos is immersive theatre at its best, engaging with its audience from the very outset.
EDINBURGH 2019: BWW Review: BUGSY MALONE, Rose Theatre @ Gilded Balloon
Bugsy Malone is an engaging, exciting and hilarious piece of theatre.

The Yorkshire Ripper was convicted of killing 13 women in the late 70s and early 80s.
EDINBURGH 2019: BWW Review: HOW TO BE BRAVE, Roundabout @ Summerhall
How To Be Brave, written by Siân Owen and performed with boundless energy by Laura Dalgleish, is the greatest bedtime story a scared little girl could hear.

EDINBURGH 2019: BWW Review: HELEN BAUER: LITTLE MISS BABY ANGEL FACE, Pleasance Grand
Helen Bauer is being marketed as 'a self-confessed attention seeker', and she really wants you to watch.
EDINBURGH 2019: BWW REVIEW: BABY REINDEER, Summerhall
An intense, unnerving and magnetic performance by Richard Gadd, as Baby Reindeer takes the audience through a journey of Gadd's long-term stalker.
EDINBURGH 2019: BWW Review: LOYISO GOLA: POP CULTURE, Pleasance Dome
You may not always agree with Loyiso Gola, he's a pretty strongly opinionated kind of guy, but his arguments are always so logical and annoyingly backed by sound rationale that you've got to hear him out.
EDINBURGH 2019: BWW Review: TYPICAL, Pleasance Courtyard
Ryan Calais Cameron's new play, Typical, is a monologue depicting an unthinkable, but depressingly fathomable, true story.
EDINBURGH 2019: BWW Review: LUCY MCCORMICK: POST POPULAR, Pleasance Courtyard
Lucy McCormick is back, inflicting her twisted brilliance on Edinburgh, following her last hit Triple Threat in 2016.
EDINBURGH 2019: BWW Review: CATHERINE COHEN: THE TWIST...? SHE'S GORGEOUS, Pleasance Courtyard
Gorgeously indiscreet, this New York Comic is as sharp as they come.
BWW Review: ROCKY HORROR SHOW, King's Theatre, Glasgow
The Rocky Horror Show is the story of two squeaky clean college kids a?" Brad and his fiancée Janet.
EDINBURGH 2019: BWW Review: DO OUR BEST, Underbelly
Produced by double Fringe-First winning Francesca Moody (of Angry Alan and Square Go), self-obsessed 30-year-old Girl Guide Sephie tries to achieve her entertainment badge after several failed attempts.
EDINBURGH 2019: BWW Review: SEX SHELLS, Underbelly Cowgate
The best costumes at the Fringe, glorious rewrites of songs you wish you'd been clever enough to think of, and a glittery, scantily clad man lying across your lap.
EDINBURGH 2019: BWW Review: ORLANDO BAXTER: FINDING MARIAH, The Stand
It's comedy, but not as you know it.
EDINBURGH 2019: BWW Review: LONDON HUGHES: TO CATCH A D*CK, Pleasance Courtyard
Hughes' highball energy will make this hour of comedy pass in the blink of an eye.
EDINBURGH 2019: BWW Review: CONSPIRACY, Underbelly
A powder keg of stupefaction and anxiety.
BWW Review: ELEANOR MORTON: POST-MORTON, The Stand Comedy Club
Eleanor Morton is aloof you can't help but warm to her not-quite-but-nearly deadpan attitude, but the comedian treads some already pretty-well trodden comedy ground.
EDINBURGH 2019: BWW Review: WHAT GIRLS ARE MADE OF, Assembly Hall
Darlingheart's Cora Bissett is an ex-indie rocker whose star rose, but fell, 25 years ago.
BWW Review: PARTY AT THE PALACE, Linlithgow
Party at the Palace is a music festival with one hell of a view.
EDINBURGH 2019: BWW Review: WEREWOLF: LIVE, Underbelly, Bristo Square
In Werewolf: Live, Jon Gracey leads a team of comedians through several rounds of mystery and intrigue with hilarious results.
