Review – Heckle!
You’re empowered to be involved. Encouraged to yell, distract, and shout whatever you please to the comedian on stage.
Review – Giovanni!
An earnest and openhearted performance that leaves you tired from laughing yet full to the brim with the feeling you just experienced something rather special.
Review – Simon Keck: Eating Tiger Dicks
One of my closest friends recommended that I should see Simon Keck’s somewhat disturbing comedy show ‘Eating Tiger Dicks’ this Fringe. I don’t know what it says about me, but they were entirely right.

Eight piece band with Punjabi rhythms infused with infectious brassy anthems – but don’t worry it just works.
Airileke [PNG/Australia]
At the more intimate zoo stage venue band members of Airileke got to get up close with enthusiasts, and explain some of the influences and styles of their Melanesian music. The group taught...
Los Coronas [Spain]
As the day faded away and city workers walked down to the botanic park Los Coronas greeted those entering the Frome road gateway into this green zone. This Tejano (Tex Mex) band channels...
