EDINBURGH 2023: Review: I'VE GOT SOME THINGS TO GET OFF MY CHEST, Gilded Balloon


by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 26, 2023

According to Google, Eva's boobs weigh the same as: two and a half bottles of tequila; two bricks; or the average newborn baby. Quite a weight on your back and finding bras off the rack for a rack that size is near impossible. Despite being an ideal candidate, misogynistic medical standards leave Ev...

EDINBURGH 2023: Review: DIZNEY IN DRAG: ONCE UPON A PARODY, Gilded Balloon Patter Hoose - Big Yin


by Jo Caruana - August 25, 2023

Dizney in Drag: Once Upon a Parody is a self-confessed ‘ridiculous show’. And if that’s what you are after, you will absolutely love it because this cabaret serves up the sort of toilet humour that sits somewhere between an amused eye-roll and an ‘oh-no-they-didn’t’ guffaw. ...

EDINBURGH 2023: Review: FRIEND (THE ONE WITH GUNTHER), Gilded Balloon At The Museum


by Hannah Hirst Dunton - August 21, 2023

There are so many predictably phrased ways I could tell you how much I enjoyed Friend (the One with Gunther). Oh. My. God. Could it *be* any more satisfying? Out of five stars, it should be seven… seven… SEVEN... It’s just kick-you-in-the-crotch, spit-on-your-neck fantastic....
