Edinburgh 2022: Review: SOFIE HAGEN: FAT JOKES, Monkey Barrel Comedy - Monkey Barrel 3
by Stefanie Lyons - August 26, 2022
Sofie Hagen will make you laugh so hard that, when I saw her show last night, I didn't stop for the entire hour. In fact, I made ridiculous noises, like a donkey, trying to recover myself from her witty brand of comedy.

Edinburgh 2022: Review: LAURA DAVIS-IF THIS IS IT, Monkey Barrel Comedy (Carnivore)
by Mark Carnochan - August 25, 2022
Throughout the hour it honestly seems as though the person who finds Davis funniest is Laura Davis herself. Luckily for any of the nonbelievers in the room she assures us that she's been doing stand-up for a long time and that she is very good at it. But is she trying to convince us or herself?

Edinburgh 2022: Review: CERYS BRADLEY: SPORTSPERSON, Gilded Balloon
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 24, 2022
Sportsperson is written and performed by Cerys Bradley (Soho Theatre Young Company, Amused Moose semi-finalist, 2020). It's a show about playing sport and fitting in and how Cerys is quite bad at both of those things. It's also a show about being non-binary, embarrassed about wearing lycra and how spending your childhood in a car whilst your parents watch your brother play football (and rugby and tennis and cricket) definitely doesn't leave you with a massive chip on your shoulder.

by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 24, 2022
Crazy Canadian circus for the young, premiering in Edinburgh after visiting 16 countries! The art of giving each other a chance and collaborating when the right time comes is what the Brotipos will have to learn!

A show filled with handstands, diabolo and a hand-to-hand act that will make you sing and dance with them! Hilarious and comical, that's Brotipo. For the young and old! Winner of eight public choice awards!

Channels sports stories and 1980s erotic thrillers to reimagine a classic character for the #MeToo era.
