Review: EDINBURGH 2024: COLIN CLOUD: CONSEQUENCES at Underbelly, McEwan Hall
by Christiana Rose - August 20, 2024
Colin Cloud, sits blindfolded on centre stage in a luxurious armchair, calm and emanating mystery. He returns this year to his home country for a run on the Fringe.

by Fiona Scott - August 19, 2024
What did our critic think of CHEMO SAVVY at Gilded Balloon At The Museum, Auditorium?It may feature some famous faces from River City, but you haven’t seen a hospital like this!

by Fiona Scott - August 19, 2024
Written by Somebody Jones, the piece explores the relationship a black woman has with swimming, and how she overcomes her fear to access the water. A stereotype sadly rooted in statistics, this piece brings to light a perspective that should be heard.

Review: EDINBURGH 2024: I'M ALMOST THERE, Summerhall, Main Hall
by Fiona Scott - August 19, 2024
Fans of the Gossip Girl TV adaptation may recognise the show’s writer, Todd Almond, as he sits down at the piano. He begins to skilfully accompany himself while telling us about an unconventional day where a character, we presume is largely based on himself, reluctantly goes to a friend’s brunch and ends up meeting the potential love of his life.

Edinburgh 2024 Review: PLEWDS, Summerhall
by Katie Kirkpatrick - August 18, 2024
“Being queer is the best, right?” In Kathrine Payne’s debut solo show plewds, all is not as it seems. Slowly, the show’s sparkly pink facade begins to splinter and crack, and a darker truth makes its way to the surface. Told through character comedy, clowning, audience interaction, and movement, this is a feat of queer theatre.
