Edinburgh 2022: Review: MY SON'S A QUEER (BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO), Underbelly
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 08, 2022
When Rob was 12, they attempted a full-blown Disney parade in their house for their grandma. As Rob donned wigs and played Mary Poppins, Ariel, Mickey Mouse and Belle, their dad doubled as stage manager, sound technician and Goofy. This is the joyous, chaotic, autobiographical story of actor, writer and social-media sensation Rob Madge as they set out to recreate that parade – and this time, nobody, no, nobody is gonna rain on it.

Edinburgh 2022: Review: THE MANY VOICES OF DEBRA STEPHENSON, Assembly
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 07, 2022
Take a trip with Debra (Dead Ringers, Spitting Image, The Imitation Game, Bad Girls) as she hurtles through time in a multiverse of musical icons from Billy Holliday to Billie Eilish, Shirley Bassey to Kate Bush, with live musical accompaniment from James Stead. And, with Debra's trademark comedic impressions of well-known politicians and celebrities, there's plenty of fun and laughter along the way.

by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 07, 2022
A ticking clock. A dodgy nursing home. Step in from the bustle of the Mile for a bundle of laughter with Locked In, a joyful comedy premiere. Also featured: Dave Shakespeare, a decidedly silly swipe at pseudointellectuals.

Edinburgh 2022: Review: ONE OF TWO, Summerhall
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 07, 2022
Trapped in the bathroom with an evil tattie, Jack wrestles with the reality of living alone. Jack Hunter's inspiring* debut comedy is full of heart and a half-empty bag of Weetos. A true tale of twins growing up with cerebral palsy. Jump aboard the 'strugglebus' with Jack as he steers through the intersectionality of disability, whilst honking at societal attitudes and Eddie Redmayne's career choices.

Edinburgh 2022: Review: SOMETHING IN THE WATER, Summerhall
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 07, 2022
When Grumms transforms from a normal girl into a squid monster ('Creature from the Black Lagoon' meets 'The Muppets'), they must hide their secret identity in order to pass in society.

Edinburgh 2022: Review: ABOUT MONEY, Summerhall
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 06, 2022
Fast Food worker Shaun is your average eighteen year old boy. He likes music, video games and getting stoned. He’s also the sole carer to his eight year old sister, Sophie. Without enough money for child-care, and under pressure from an unsympathetic boss, he’s forced to make decisions that could have devastating consequences.

by Helen Smith - August 06, 2022
If you have ever wondered what Shakespeare would be like with more pop music, look no further than Bristol Shakespeare Festival’s Macbeth the Musical.

Kiri Pritchard-McLean is back and a lot has happened over the last few years. She’s moved back to her home island of Anglesey and gotten some rescue chickens. You can expect jokes about skinny jeans, learning Welsh and white supremacy – something for everyone.

Edinburgh 2022: Review: RACHEL FAIRBURN: CAN I BE AWFUL? , Monkey Barrel
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 05, 2022
Brassy, abrasive, rude, belligerent. The four horsemen of the apocalypse? No. They’re all words that have been used to describe Rachel of All Killa No Filla, and she’s proper sick of it now. She’s also sick of being told to “be kind” by everyone from bearded hipster men in T-shirts. What’s wrong with saying it how you see it? What really is kindness? Why is Rachel’s truth not respected? Why are you all so annoying? Probably because nobody tells you that you are. Let Rachel change that.

by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 05, 2022
Highly anticipated debut from this 'one to watch' (FunnyWomen.com), 'rising star' (OxInABox.co.uk) and multi-competition finalist. She was 'innocent' (Oxford Mail) and 'adorable' (MumbleComedy.net) but in this thought-provoking and playful show, she explores the things that aren’t so lovely: sex, drugs and rock'n'roll*
