When you see The Pleasance venues today it is hard to imagine the Edinburgh Fringe without them. However, there was a time when the Courtyard didn't host shows and when the Dome...remained quiet in August. From hosting twenty shows in two venues they now have twenty three venues and two hundred shows. I sat down with The Pleasance founder Christopher Richardson and its present Director Anthony Alderson to speak about […]
★★★★★ Gilded Balloon (Venue 14) | 19:30, 22:30 | £14 | If there is one thing I have been enjoying most of all at this years Fringe it has been improvised shows. They make you feel as if you are seeing something special, which will never be seen again. Showstopper! The Improvised Musical is one of the most impressive that I have seen. By it's very nature a musical is hard […]
★★★★ Gilded Balloon (Venue 14) | 23:30 | £10 | I had my attention drawn to this show for two reasons, firstly Harry Mitchell (one half of this musical duo) was in Minor Delays which I enjoyed very much, secondly they gave me my own hashtag on twitter (I'm easily bribed, other fringe shows take note) I have seen a lot of musical comedy acts at is years festival, not […]
Saint Motel the American four piece band from Los Angeles have just released their brand new single 'My Type' I'm a sucker for a song with trumpets with a great riff so there was no debate as to what was going to be our new single of the week.

★★★ Pleasance Dome (Venue 23) | 19:00 | £12 | The time travelling tricksters Morgan & West are back at this year’s festival. Set in a Victorian panelled lounge along with some rather quirky backing music the show transports us back to a time where parlour ticks were commonplace and magicians were very polite gentlemen. I won’t spoil any of the ticks involved in the show but it’s fair to […]
★★★ Assembly George Square Studios (Venue 17) | 17:20 | £11 | Billed as a new and exciting act to see at this years Fringe, Jonny Lennard takes to the stage in his guise as a children’s author. Updating fairy tales and stories to be more realistic and truthful. All of these tales are wrapped around him babysitting his young niece who just really wants a normal bedtime story. There […]
★★★★★ The Voodoo Rooms (Venue 68) | 19:45 | £10 | Judging from the title of the show I was not sure what to expect when I entered the Voodoo Rooms on Saturday night. All I knew was that I like the pew pew noise ray guns make in films. What I didn’t expect is one of the best musical acts I have seen at the Fringe. The show follows […]
★★★★ The Pleasance Courtyard | 18:00 | £11.00 | Alex Owen and Ben Ashenden otherwise known as ‘The Pin’ are back in Edinburgh bringing us a brand new show for 2014. This year see’s the guys’ workshop their sketches for this years Fringe with the audience (even getting them to participate at some points) Alex’s frantic script typing appears projected behind the duo as they act out various versions of […]
★★★★ The Pleasance Courtyard | 20:30 | £11.50 | The Mischief Theatre team are back (all be it in a new, larger venue) with more of the films you never knew existed. Welcome to the world of Light’s Camera Improvise! When the show starts you are introduced to Oscar, a film collector who not only has every film ever made, but every film you could possibly imagine. To choice a […]
