James Kettle, The Guardian, 23rd August 2014The Foster's Awards - the ones that got away
You can't please everyone. That's the conclusion I come to almost every year when the Foster's Award nominations are announced. This year's shortlist is no exception. Despite choosing seven of the best acts in Edinburgh there are a number of unfortunate omissions. I should imagine that everybody who has taken the trouble to read this far has got one favourite that the panel missed. Just plucked at random from Facebook, here's someone's top ten that bears little relation to the Foster's choices.

Paul Fleckney, The Guardian, 17th August 2014How female comics took over the Fringe
At this year's Edinburgh Fringe there are almost as many jokes about feminism as there are about cats on the internet. Which is to say, lots of them. Bridget Christie, fresh from winning the Fosters Edinburgh Comedy Award (formerly the Perrier) last year, is back with an hour that tackles female circumcision and the ridiculous sexualisation present even in yoghurt adverts. Sara Pascoe's tour of women in history includes a delightfully sharp debunking of Page 3. Luisa Omielan is packing out a ballroom each night with Am I Right Ladies?!, a raucous celebration in which she sticks her fingers up at issues such as body fascism.

Brian Logan, The Guardian, 24th June 2014More details
Luisa Omielan triumphantly returns to Edinburgh with her second hour Am I Right Ladies?! as part of the Laughing Horse Free Fringe.
This is the follow up to Luisa's unprecedentedly successful debut stand up show, What Would Beyoncé Do?! which bolted Luisa into the spotlight last year.
Omielan's new show focuses on the ways in which society gets in the way of feeling good about yourself. Be it in your career, relationship or in your own skin.
Last year, Luisa had her hugely successful debut hour What Would Beyonce Do?! extended five times at the Soho Theatre due to such high demand. She had added dates to her 2013 Edinburgh fringe run and embarked on a UK national tour. Performances led to a run in New York, LA and Singapore.
This year, Luisa is also the only woman out of only three comics in the UK to be asked to the Montreal Comedy Festival with Jimmy Carr and Noel Fielding. She's also just recorded her own BBC Radio 2 pilot, Luisa Omielan's Party which airs June 10th. This comes with the announcement that Luisa has confirmed a run in London's West End in November of this year. Phew!
