Fings from the Fringe

Well, who doesn't love an alliterative title? And titles, when it comes to Edinburgh Fringe, can make or break you. Likewise your publicity image. Does it draw people in? What kind of people? And does it accurately represent what you do? Some of the biggest disappointments aren't because a show is bad, but because it's not what it promised.

Edinburgh Fringe: Why comedians need to get serious

found myself sitting at a comedy gig at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe the other day and having a Richard Pryor moment. It was a decent show, by an established comic, musing on the vagaries of life. It was funny and well observed but all I could think was, what am I doing here? I wanted something different. A comic who would use his or her wit to interrogate some of the big issues we're facing.

So many shows, so many terrible shows

From the moment you get off at Waverley station and step into the medieval streets of Edinburgh you are bombarded with a hail of flyers and poorly washed- recently graduated drama students. Have patience with the students- full of hopes and dreams ready to be crushed by the festival. It's a tough place to survive let alone for the performers but also for the brave punter. With over three thousand shows to choose from, how did you pick? Lest you find yourself in a three hour physical theater production of Macbeth that ends with someone shitting in a bucket. (never again will this happen to me) The answers is a combination or research, wits and luck.

Seven questions with... Hayley Ellis

Mancunian comic Hayley Ellis presents a very relatable style of stand up comedy, with sharp twists and turns that give her material that extra punch. She is likeable and self-deprecating, working to ensure that she is on the same level as her audience, which in turn makes audiences far more receptive. Hayley returns to the festival this year with her latest show, FOMO, (That's 'Fear Of Missing Out' to you and I).
