EastEnd Cabaret: Notoriously Kinky
- Review
- ★★★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 5th Aug, 2012
The musical duo that make up EastEnd Cabaret look like they could have been dragged straight from a Berlin drag bar.
Patrick Monahan - Hug Me I Feel Good
- Review
- ★★★
- Thom Louis
- London Fringe
- 16th Apr, 2012
The entrance of Patrick Monahan is an explosive one; the comedian subverts self-introduction by making sure everyone is comfortable with his touchy-feely comedy.
3rd Ring Out: The Emergency
- Review
- ★★★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 28th Aug, 2011
In a cargo crate at the end of Grassmarket, Metis Arts are rehearsing the future.
The Baby Diary
- Review
- ★★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 10th Aug, 2011
The Baby Diary, a new comic play by Emily Watson Howes first seen on BBC Online, seems to have a lot going for it at first.
The History Girls Present: A Summary of Things So Far
- Review
- ★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 24th Aug, 2012
The title of this show is a rather misleading one.
You Want Me To Do What?!
- Review
- ★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 18th Aug, 2011
In my opinion medical professionals should stop making musical one-woman shows at the Fringe.
Those Magnificent Men
- Review
- ★★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 11th Aug, 2011
It may not surprise you to learn that Those Magnificent Men shares a framing device with the film that shares half of its name.
Swedenborg, the Devil and Me
- Review
- ★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 25th Aug, 2012
Gregory Akerman’s set is a slightly awkward one to review - nearly the entire thing is based around one terrible write up he received for one of his shows.
Steve Hall's Very Still Life
- Review
- ★★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 21st Aug, 2011
Steve Hall, part of the sketch comedy show We are Klang, is an appealing comic.
One Fine Day
- Review
- ★★★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 7th Aug, 2011
A one-man show is a terrifying prospect for any actor.
Fascinating Aïda: Cheap Flights
- Review
- ★★★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 8th Aug, 2012
If you know nothing of Fascinating Aïda, then you are the only one.
Slavery to Star Trek
- Review
- ★★★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 22nd Aug, 2011
The premise of Slavery to Star Trek is a strange one.
Arabian Nights
- Review
- ★★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 19th Aug, 2011
Oh the Arabian Nights, it is almost impossible to do anything this clichéd without filling it with belly dancers, turbans and fezzes.
Greek Myths for Kids
- Review
- ★★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 9th Aug, 2012
If I were choosing subject matter for a kids show, Greek Mythology wouldn’t be where I started; kids don’t have the best lot in these stories, being abandoned and even being se…
Gogol's 'The Portrait'
- Review
- ★★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 12th Aug, 2011
Attempting to adapt a Russian short story as strange as The Portrait was always going to be a difficult task for The Newbury Youth Theatre.
The Suitcase Royale in Zombatland
- Review
- ★★★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 14th Aug, 2011
Watching The Suitcase Royale was a special experience.
Scientist Turned Comedian: Tim Lee
- Review
- ★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 10th Aug, 2012
Tim Lee’s stand-up show is based around the premise that he was about to become a scientist but then, after receiving his PhD, decided to become a comedian.
Double Act
- Review
- ★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 18th Aug, 2011
The comedy double act is as old as theatre itself.
Tiernan Douieb vs the World
- Review
- ★★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 15th Aug, 2011
Tiernan Douieb is an interesting comedian.
The Beta Males in... The Space Race
- Review
- ★★★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 12th Aug, 2012
In a market saturated by sketch comedy, The Beta Males understand that something more is needed to entice the audience.
Darkness
- Review
- ★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 12th Aug, 2011
The pedigree of Darkness was obvious, having been written by previous Fringe First winner Jonathan Lichtenstein.
Belt Up's Outland
- Review
- ★★★★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 11th Aug, 2011
The works of Lewis Carroll are some of most overused in all of the arts.
Some Small Love Story
- Review
- ★★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 8th Aug, 2012
Some Small Love Story, as the title may suggest, is a short, self-contained and in the end inconsequential story about love and loss, with some songs thrown in for good measure.
The Wheel
- Review
- ★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 14th Aug, 2011
The National Theatre of Scotland has one of the most recognisable names at the Fringe.
Nina Conti: Dolly Mixtures
- Review
- ★★★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 16th Aug, 2012
As the title may suggest, comic ventriloquist Nina Conti’s new show Dolly Mixtures is a bit of a mixed bag; not in terms of the overall quality, which is excellent, nor in terms …
Nathan Cassidy: Fantastica!
- Review
- ★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 16th Aug, 2011
Nathan Cassidy’s Fantasica had an interesting premise.
Frisky & Mannish: Extra-Curricular Activities
- Review
- ★★★★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 17th Aug, 2012
The video that Frisky and Mannish play as the audience files in is marvellously appropriate; the pair are shown dominating BBC News 24, both as the stories and as the newsreaders.
One Man Lord of the Rings
- Review
- ★★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 23rd Aug, 2012
First, a confession: I am a Lord of the Rings film fanatic, nay zealot.
End of the Line
- Review
- ★★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 14th Aug, 2011
The last year has not been a good time to live in Ireland.
Appointment With The Wicker Man
- Review
- ★★★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 11th Aug, 2012
The Loch Parry players have had a disaster: it is 24 hours until opening night and their lead of their upcoming musical extravaganza - The Wickerman - has disappeared.
Absolutely Amazing Adventures of the Singing Acupuncturist - Free
- Review
- ★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 9th Aug, 2011
It isn’t often as a reviewer that you come across a show with absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
Pretty When I'm Drunk
- Review
- ★★
- Thom Louis
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 27th Aug, 2012
Pretty When I’m Drunk is a problematic production; it is a play that tries so hard to be funny, and to its credit the script has potential when it’s not stuck in knob gag mode:…
The Hurly Burly Show - Naughty But Nice!
- Review
- ★★★
- Thom Louis
- London Fringe
- 11th Jul, 2012
Burlesque loves its staples.

I hate to brag but as a species, we’re pretty brilliant.
