2016 Edinburgh Fringe
Amy Howerska: Smashcat
Welsh-Jewish-Polish-Irish BBC-box-ticking wet dream Amy Howerska brings you another hour of unfiltered comedy stuffing. Fresh from scribbling on Radio 4's Now Show and Newsjack as well as popping up on Channel 4 (and in your local shop buying Wotsits), Howerska asks the important questions: Can you love Bowie too much? And, what is a smashcat... has it ruined your life? 'A gifted storyteller, refreshingly unsentimental... A force to be reckoned with' (Chortle). 'Imaginative self-deprecation with balletic aplomb' (Fest). 'She was always a pain in the arse.' (Her dad).

So many shows, so many terrible shows
From the moment you get off at Waverley station and step into the medieval streets of Edinburgh you are bombarded with a hail of flyers and poorly washed- recently graduated drama students. Have patience with the students- full of hopes and dreams ready to be crushed by the festival. It's a tough place to survive let alone for the performers but also for the brave punter. With over three thousand shows to choose from, how did you pick? Lest you find yourself in a three hour physical theater production of Macbeth that ends with someone shitting in a bucket. (never again will this happen to me) The answers is a combination or research, wits and luck.
