★★★ Considering I watched A Dylan Thomas biopic at last years EIFF (Set Fire To The Stars) it seemed only right to watch an adaptation of one of his 1954 radio play ‘Under Milk Wood’ at this year’s festival. The film drops you into the dreams of the peculiar residents of Llareggub, including the music obsessed ‘Organ Morgan’, ‘Mrs. Ogmore-Pritchard’ fixated with her dead husbands, while the local school […]
★★ Are we ever going to be fed up with zombie movies? With the popularity of programmes like 'The Walking Dead' and many other films of a similar theme (see Life After Beth from last years EIFF) there seems to be a new zombie movie, TV show or game coming around every other fortnight, so for a film to stand out it REALLY needs to do something different. Maggie […]

★★★★ Gilded Balloon (Venue 14) | Aug 20-25 | 13:15 | £12 | I remember my mum trying to convince me years ago to sit down and watch a best of Tommy Cooper show on television, I thought I was ‘far to cool’ to watch it….I was wrong. I watched in stitches as magician in a fez attempted to cook a duck, pull an ever growing selection of goods from […]

★★★★ Pleasance Courtyard (Venue 33) | 13:05 | Aug 19-25 (not 20th) | £13 | It's a tough title to have 'The Complete History Of Comedy' miss just one obvious gag or comedic style and you have failed. Who better to attempt this condensed comedic run-through than 'The Reduced Shakespeare Company' The premise of the show is that the world is in chaos due to the lack of teaching […]
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 […]
The ultimate dance music experience for Midlothian.
