Edinburgh Fringe
Biscuit Barrel: The 69-Sketch Show
'An excellent comedy show' **** (BroadwayBaby.com). 69 sketches in an hour - the speed of the internet put on a stage! The Fringe's quintessential quick-fire sketch show returns. However, a bandit has broken into the production, stealing sound effects, characters, and even dialogue. 'Best of the rest of the fest' ***** (Scottish Daily Mail). 'The hit rate of their sketches are high' (List). 'An A+ sketch show' (Seagull.news). From sentient self-checkout machines to an awkward reunion for the iceberg and the Titanic, it's all inside this Barrel. Featuring DazzReviews (YouTube).

Chortle, 2nd August 2023EdFringe Talk: Biscuit Barrel: The 69-Sketch Show
"There were some days where I would do five or six straight hours on the Royal Mile alone... dressed as a pizza."
Dan Lentell, Get Your Coats On, 12th July 2023#SNAPCHATZ Episode 19: Boundary-pushing comedy at #EdFringe
Today, exemplifying boundary-pushing comedy on the Fringe stagestage are sexual anxiety anathema Eleanor May Blackburn, the wonderfully unhinged love-chasing Rosalie Minnitt, and 69 Tik-Tok-but-on-stage skits from The Biscuit Barrel!
