Edinburgh Fringe grilling: Jeremy Lion

Next to stumble unwittingly upon Sport.co.uk's labyrinthine lair of laughter is wayward children's entertainer Jeremy Lion, who this month brings his Jeremy Lion Goes Green show to the Queen Dome...

Jeremy Lion: not in front of the children

The puppet is scary, the props are useless, and then there's the Special Brew. Justin Edwards on his return to the Fringe as Jeremy Lion.

Veronica Lee, The Telegraph, 16th August 2010

Fans of Armando Iannucci's already classic The Thick Of It will be familiar with the comic work of Justin Edwards, thanks to his role as gormless wannabe-Machiavelli "Blinky" Ben Swain. But his solo shows in the guise of dipsomaniac children's "entertainer" Jeremy Lion are an altogether different (if no less hilarious) proposition. Red-faced, belching and swigging from cans of Special Brew, Lion is a majestically larger-than-life grotesque. When Edwards last brought this character to the fringe in 2005 he walked away with a Perrier nomination and, on the strength of his latest show, you wouldn't bet against him receiving similar recognition this time. The brand-new eco-themed spectacular sees Lion and pianist Hilary Cox (AKA comic Gus Brown) in a "play" about the dangers of an environmentally unfriendly lifestyle. This is big, vivid and brilliant comedy, with set pieces that could see you feeling incapacitated with laughter.
