by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 22, 2022

by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 22, 2022
Catriona has a history of making stuff up. But she’s getting better. When an attractive American tourist arrives, she decides to show him around her Northern Irish town.

by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 22, 2022

Edinburgh 2022: Review: SAM MORRISON: SUGAR DADDY, Gilded Balloon Teviot - Balcony
by Stefanie Lyons - August 22, 2022
Nothing I can write will truly describe the brilliance of this stand-up show. There simply isn't enough hyperbole. 
Edinburgh 2022: Review: THE VAMPYRE, The Space
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 22, 2022
It is 1871 and the seductive Vampyre Carmilla has chosen her next victim, the gentle and innocent Laura. Can the love of the young doctor and her father be enough to save Laura from Carmilla's clutches? And will anyone listen to the fears and predictions of villager Susan when she encounters her in the marketplace, for this is not the first time Carmilla has walked this earth?
Edinburgh 2022: Review: BILLY KIRKWOOD: ENERGETIC, The Beehive Inn
by Mark Carnochan - August 22, 2022
Billy Kirkwood: Energetic does exactly what it says on the tin and more.
Edinburgh 2022: Review: RACHEL JACKSON: ALMOST FAMOUS, The Stand
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 22, 2022
Rachel Jackson is an award-winning, Scottish comedian with TV credits such as The Stand Up Sketch Show (ITV) and Edinburgh Unlocked (BBC). Almost Famous is about all the times she thought she was so damn close… The Rock tweeted her three times ffs! Also deals with her debilitating illness, OCD, but this show doesn’t have a sad bit and is wet-your-pants funny.
Edinburgh 2022: Review: BLANKET BAN, Underbelly Cowgate
by Alexander Cohen - August 22, 2022
An angry yet artless examination of Malta's ban on abortion.
Review: BROWN BOYS SWIM, Pleasance Dome - Jack Dome
by Stefanie Lyons - August 22, 2022
I had an idea it was about two boys learning to swim but I had no idea how thoughtful, moving and funny it would be.
Edinburgh 2022: Review: BILAL ZAFAR - CARE, Underbelly, Bristo Square - Jersey
by Stefanie Lyons - August 22, 2022
Bilal Zafar is natural, easy-going and full of his own brand of chilled out sarcasm. 
Edinburgh 2022: Review: A SUDDEN VIOLENT BURST OF RAIN, Summerhall Roundhouse
by Alexander Cohen - August 22, 2022
A bloodless refugee drama unsuited to the space in which it is performed.
Edinburgh 2022: Review: AMY MATTHEWS: MOREOVER, THE MOON, Monkey Barrel Comedy (Carnivore)
by Mark Carnochan - August 22, 2022
Amy Matthews: Moreover, the Moon is an impressive hour of comedy that has a bit of something for everyone.

by Bryony Rae Taylor - August 21, 2022
What did our critic think of JESUS, JANE, MOTHER & ME at Pleasance Dome?
Edinburgh 2022: Review: A LITTLE LIFE, Festival Theatre
by Alexander Cohen - August 21, 2022
An unflinchingly unrelentingly brutal production, a Little Life is not for the faint of heart. But it deserves to be seen nonetheless.
Edinburgh 2022: Review: JAMIE D'SOUZA: STOP DRAWING WILLIES ON MY POSTER, Pleasance Courtyard
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 21, 2022
Join rising star Jamie D'Souza as he performs his highly anticipated debut stand-up show about the terrible teen emo band he was in and also his first school crush. He's definitely over it. As seen on Laugh Lessons (BBC3) and Comedy Central At The Fringe (Comedy Central), expect hilarious one liners and horrifically awkward tales of his teenage years.
Edinburgh 2022: Review: IAN LYNAM: AUTISTIC LICENSE, Gilded Balloon
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 21, 2022
Most people start comedy because they're funny. Very few have a doctor's note saying they can't be. As an autistic person, Ian's expected to have a gift, but with no skill in counting matches, he's settled on comedy.
Edinburgh 2022: Review: LAND- A SCOTTISH MUSICAL, Gilded Balloon
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 21, 2022
This new folk musical seeks to explore our heritage and legacy, weaving two parallel stories; one of a crofter and a wandering soldier in the 18th Century, and one of an old pensioner and his carer in the 21st. Land fuses traditional Scottish trad/folk styles with a modern electronic sound to create its compelling soundtrack, performed live by the actor-musician cast of three. Land celebrates compassion and community that transcends shifting cultures, asking that we take a second to re-evaluate our relationships with the earth and our neighbours.
