Derwent Cyzinski, FringePig, 22nd August 2016Reviewer review: Mark Parker (Mumble Comedy)
As ever when venturing into the undergrowth of Mumbledonia, we have to ask ourselves "Is this a real person, or just another one of Mark 'Divine' Calvert's aliases?" Not that MDC actually exists either. But there is a person, somewhere, at the website that calls itself Mumble Comedy, because there isn't yet a computer program that can generate nonsense this hilarious. So is Mark Parker the same one?
Billy Coconuts, FringePig, 22nd August 2016Richard Gadd: 'I've punished myself so much'

Alex Musson, FringePig, 22nd August 201626 things to see during the last week of the Fringe (Link expired)
As we enter the final week of the Edinburgh Festival, there's a certain anxiety that sets in. Have I made the most of it? Did I miss the best show ever? What will become of the lanyards?
Nick Mitchell, WOW247, 22nd August 2016How sexism on screen inspired a comedy show
In Casting Call Woe, ProResting and stand-up Tiff Stevenson read out the worst casting calls they have found, dole out statistics about the representation of women in the industry and share their own audition horror stories - including the time ProResting was called to an audition at McDonald's in Notting Hill, where she had to pretend she had caught on fire.
Alice Jones, i Newspaper, 22nd August 2016How to survive 50 hours of comedy in one week
In the past week, I have watched 50 hours of stand-up. Enough, you might think, to make you lose your sense of humour for life. I haven't yet - though if I see another sketch about female body hair or veganism, I might snap.
