Petfringe Comedian Of The Year review

The contest may not have specifically been looking for 'promise', but they found it anyway, in a comic just three years into his career. A mix of old-timers and relative rookies makes the Petfringe competition like few others. And with the anonymous donor pledging to maintain the mega-prize until 2020, it's likely to be hard fought for a couple more years at least.

The Karen Bayley three minute interview

Shunning dresses and dolls, donning a football kit and picking up a cricket bat at the age of three were early signs. For her 2014 Edinburgh Festival Fringe show, Karen Bayley explores all that this entails, including being thrown out of the Brownies for unladylike behaviour.
