2014 Edinburgh Fringe
Sara Pascoe vs History
The past contains wars, witches, Kim Yong-Il and your ex. Your brain can recall being a child, while your body remembers being a monkey. Everything that has happened shapes who we are today ... does free will even exist? Who cares! Miss Pascoe is here to amuse us with her joking! 'An exhilarating, deeply satisfying show' (Times). 'Nothing less than full mega-watt charisma' (Guardian). 'Always clever and sometimes exquisite' (Independent). Sara's TV history includes QI, Twenty Twelve, Campus, Stand Up For The Week, Never Mind The Buzzcocks and Live At The Apollo.

Best reviewed Edinburgh Fringe shows 2014
A list of the best reviewed shows at the 2014 Edinburgh Fringe, as compiled from the BCG's vast review database.
British Comedy Guide, 8th September 2014Photo gallery: Backstage and personal
From Adam Riches taking a stroll in full armour to Greg Proops drinking in the abattoir and Camilla Cleese doing her hair, Idil Sukan catches Edinburgh festival's top standups off-guard.
Idil Sukan, The Guardian, 22nd August 2014Introducing the nominees
The results are announced on Saturday. Before that, I'm off to watch them all again. Even at three weeks and 89 shows in, I can't wait.

British Comedy Guide, 20th 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.

Andrew Mickel, Such Small Portions, 25th July 2014A-Z of Edinburgh Fringe 2014
Festival favourites, late-night laughs, X-rated shows, Jesus... We present Time Out's 2014 Edinburgh Fringe comedy highlights and recommendations in a neat A to Z slideshow.
Ben Williams, Time Out, 23rd July 2014Sara Pascoe and John Robins, Edinburgh Previews
What I loved most about Sara Pascoe's show was that she talked very openly regarding her feminist views without leaving a resentful feel in the air. John Robins' new show is very strong, with a good balance of accessible observations with brilliant acted out scenes.
Becca Moody, Moody Comedy, 13th July 2014Interview: Sara Pascoe
Sara Pascoe on female instincts, healthy sperm and her latest show.
Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard, 4th July 2014Best stand-up comedy shows at the Fringe
Struggling to decide what comedy shows to see at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August this summer? Well, don't worry, Laugh Out London is here to help with a fine selection of the best paid-for stand-up and one-person shows we recommend.
Laugh Out London, 25th June 2014Edinburgh Fringe Preview: Sara Pascoe
I've been tipping Sara Pascoe for stardom for so long now if she doesn't make it big soon it is going to start becoming embarrassing.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 20th June 2014More details
Star of The Thick Of It, Twenty Twelve, QI and Live at the Apollo and Chortle Breakthrough Act 2014 Sara Pascoe returns with a brand new show. Having tackled the truth and the flexible material of reality last year, August 2014 finds Sara being reflective and examining how we are affected by what precedes us. The show is a combination of anthropological research and over-sharing, and a comedic insight into love and gender. Stormed the Fringe 2013 with four and five star reviews throughout, and will embark on her first national tour in Winter 2014.
