None of the material in Scott Adams and Anthea Neagle’s show is original enough to recommend it above the large number of other free back-room shows.

Oddlie is, true to its name, a pleasantly strange mixture.
The Spirit of Frances Wright (Love is an Action Verb)
- Review
- ★★★
- Fred Maynard
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 19th Aug, 2012
It is good to be reminded of the fact that history is full of eccentrics, radicals, and pioneers who never appear in the history books - especially when they turn out to be women, …
Nothing Is Really Difficult
- Review
- ★★★★★
- Fred Maynard
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 13th Aug, 2012
Here’s a real Fringe gem – a slapstick extravaganza that is literally barnstorming, performed as it is in a temporary wooden box built specially for the show.

- Edinburgh Fringe
- 4th Aug, 2012
As a reviewer I try to keep an objective distance from the show to which I’m assigned, but in the case of this enthusiastic showcase of soccer skills from Korea, I found myself ver…

Spaghetti Junction
- Review
- ★★★
- Fred Maynard
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 13th Aug, 2012
The concept of the ‘Manic Pixie Dream Girl’ is a character trope describing a grown woman totally in touch with her inner child, free spirited, kooky and playful, the sort who …
Monkey Toast: The Improvised Chat Show
- Review
- ★★★
- Fred Maynard
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 9th Aug, 2012
Monkey Toast’s chat show is the Pleasance’s late-night forum for comics to plug their shows and there’s nothing wrong with that – in fact, publicity has rarely been so much fun.
Romeo and Juliet
- Review
- ★★★
- Fred Maynard
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 11th Aug, 2012
Working Girls, the theatre company of Bristol’s Redland High School for Girls, has given us a perfectly acceptable school Shakespeare, set rather conveniently in a school.
Justine and Tony
- Review
- ★
- Fred Maynard
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 13th Aug, 2012
The Fringe throws up some odd but good things, some odd but bad things, and quite a few thuddingly normal and bad things.
Medieval Miracle, The Fall Of Man
- Review
- ★
- Fred Maynard
- Edinburgh Fringe

Medieval dramas are an odd beast and very difficult to put on.
Alan Hudson's Not So Secret World of Magic
- Review
- ★★★
- Fred Maynard
- Edinburgh Fringe
- 5th Aug, 2012
Alan Hudson tries something a little different with this magic show, choosing to weave his tricks around a story of how he came to be at the Fringe in the first place.
Dirty Great Love Story
- Review
- ★★★★
- Fred Maynard
- Edinburgh Fringe

Control Alt Delete - The Funny Side of Computers
- Review
- ★★★
- Fred Maynard
