by Kat Mokrynski - August 14, 2023
Have you ever used Marketplace to buy something? Have you ever been scammed by someone on there? Have you ever befriended the man who has scammed you, changing the course of your life for the next year? Michelle Brasier has, and she’s ready to talk (and sing!) about it.

EDINBURGH 2023: Review: ACTUALLY, LOVE, Pleasance Courtyard (The Green)
by Helen Smith - August 14, 2023
Following the success of Don’t Say MacBeth! and Sex with Friends, GOYA Theatre returns to Edinburgh Fringe with the music theatre piece Actually, Love. A funny, touching two-hander that interrogates how art and identity intersect, it will definitely make you laugh and may even make you cry.

EDINBURGH 2023: Review: MAMOUN ELAGAB: WHY I LOVE WHITE PEOPLE, The Pleasance Courtyard
by Christiana Rose - August 14, 2023

EDINBURGH 2023: Review: LUCY AND FRIENDS, Pleasance Courtyard
by Mary Baillie - August 14, 2023
Watching Lucy and Friends is how I imagine a halluncinatory drug trip. From smothering her body with tomato puree to exposing naked truths (literally) to maiming a piñata and cutting a strip-pole with a disc saw, Lucy challenges the limits of art in an absurd combination of comedy, theatre and performance installations.

EDINBURGH 2023: Review: A COMEDY OF OPERAS, Pleasance At EICC
by Kat Mokrynski - August 14, 2023
As someone who worked in an opera house in New York and volunteers with an opera house in London, I have had quite a bit of experience with the genre and several different shows. I decided to go to see A Comedy of Operas to see how they were able to combine opera, rock, and pop into a fun love story.

What do bananas, parcels, and a tit on a stick have in common? They all play crucial roles in Olaf Falafel: Look What Fell Out of My Head.

EDINBURGH 2023: Review: MARI CRAWFORD: BIPOLAR BADASS, Paradise In The Vault
by L Gourley - August 14, 2023
The performance has a short run-time but it’s powerful, and something Crawford should be incredibly proud of. It’s educational but also uplifting to hear her journey go from her lowest points to a point of not only self-acceptance but one of pride. Those with similar experiences will undoubtedly feel a sense of connection with this show, and those who don’t will learn something important from it.

EDINBURGH 2023: Review: THE HUNGER, Assembly George Square Studios
by L Gourley - August 14, 2023
The Hunger provides enough detail to shock and withholds just enough to let the audience’s imagination run to its worst conclusions. It’s well-directed and well-written, never in danger of being a simple re-hashing of a formulaic zombie horror.

EDINBURGH 2023: Review: STUART MCPHERSON: LOVE THAT FOR ME, Monkey Barrel
by Mark Carnochan - August 14, 2023
Stuart McPherson uses his latest hour of stand up to hilariously explore self love and why his generation (and himself) find it so hard to love themselves.

EDINBURGH 2023: Review: SIKISA: HEAR ME OUT at Monkey Barrel Comedy
by Kat Mokrynski - August 14, 2023
Sikisa: Hear Me Out a brilliant hour of comedy that will leave you in stitches and in awe of the incredible woman on stage. She’s funny, she’s witty, she’s talented, and she’s not ashamed to be herself - What more could one ask for?

by Mark Carnochan - August 14, 2023
Freya Parker's latest show may get laughs but very rarely more than a chuckle. In spite of this, her brand of humour may very well find an audience at this years Fringe.

EDINBURGH 2023: Review: POLKO, Summerhall
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 13, 2023
As teenagers, Emma, Joe and Polko thought they’d never grow apart. Then time passed. When Emma returns to the suburb of their childhood 10 years later she discovers nothing, and everything, has changed. Joe is stuck, living with his mum while working part-time in a hotel; and Polko has vanished, leaving a cloud of stories and misremembered nights in his wake. Set in the front seats of a parked car, Polko is a modern memory play about the places we call home, and the people we leave behind.

by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 13, 2023
Based in a Men's Shed in East Lothian, The Collie's Shed follows four retired miners as they discover how a review into the policing of the '80s mining strikes and a potential Miners' Pardon Bill by the Scottish Government suddenly affects them, their friendships and their relationships. Journey with us through time as we hear how one unforgettable and violent day of striking at Bilston Glen Colliery leaves our characters wrestling with what is right and wrong.

by Katie Kirkpatrick - August 13, 2023

McPherson is a master storyteller, holding the audience’s attention from start to finish with constant energy and passion.

EDINBURGH 2023: Review: CHEVALIER: HOBBYHORSE CIRCUS
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 13, 2023
An irresistibly charming homage to the magnificent circus horses and the silent movie era. Inspired by the history of traditional horse circuses, the skilful ringmaster performs acrobatics, juggling and balancing with an amazing cast of hobby horses. As the horses take centre stage, part of the story is told in short silent movies. The artist's innovative and playful work with the hobby horses brings the magic of circus alive!
