My Three Favourite Free Things At The Fringe

These are three brilliant Edfringe previews I've seen in London/Brighton which I would definitely see again up in Edinburgh if I was there.

Short & Curly bring their new show Who Dunnit? to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from 2 to 23 August at 3.20pm at Ciao Roma.

Cue the ominous music, it's a crime scene!

This mysterious sketch show features the comedy nonsense Short & Curly are known for. Expect shambolic, slapdash sketches, bad accents, larger than life characters and to find out what crime was actually committed. We may not know which one of them did it, but it will sure be a hilarious tale to hear.

Short & Curly are stand-up comedian Paul F Taylor and character comedian Rebecca Shorrocks. They are residents at Comedy Swap Shop and Cabarera, a monthly era themed comedy night, which Rebecca also co-hosts. They have thrilled audiences up and down the country having played the Dave Leicester Comedy Festival and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Paul F Taylor's career has gone from strength to strength from reaching the final of the Laughing Horse New Act of the Year as part for duo Helm & Taylor (with Nick Helm) to winning the New Act of the Year Award in 2013. His latest show This is What I Have Managed To Come Up With was also nominated for Best New Show at the Dave Leicester Comedy Festival 2013. He has also achieved notable success as a screenwriter and actor. He co-wrote and starred in a short comedy film called Battlecock! which made it into the official selections at the BFI London Film Festival 2013.

Rebecca Shorrocks has also had a great solo career so far. From winning the Principal's Award from her drama school to being nominated for best actor for her role in Battlecock! at the St Alban's Film Festival, her career has moved only upwards.

After realising her niche for comedy roles, she devised and co-wrote her own comedy called Triple Threat, a reality TV spoof, which had sell out runs across London followed by a successful run in Edinburgh.
