- 6th Aug, 2014
It is either apt or ironic that a show whose set recreates a building site feels a little messy.

- Review
- ★★★
- Jack Powell
- Edinburgh Festival Fringe
- Underbelly, Cowgate
- 19th Aug, 2014
Returning to the Fringe for the third year running, this text adventure game-gone-big seems to have more lives than it gives its players.

With a show based around time travel, Thunderbards make a whole hour zip merrily by.
Lee Griffiths: Post Traumatic Sketch Disorder
- Review
- ★★★
- Jack Powell
- Edinburgh Festival Fringe
- Pleasance Courtyard
- 7th Aug, 2014
Lee Griffiths: Post-Traumatic Sketch Disorder lays out the comic’s psyche by following Freud (just about) through funny family hang-ups by way of kid’s books, cock lengths and cr…
Lords of Strut: Chaos
- Review
- ★★★
- Jack Powell
- Edinburgh Festival Fringe
- Assembly Roxy
- 23rd Aug, 2014
If you were the kind of kid that rocked out in your room with hairbrush in hand (or if you do it to this day), you’ll like Lords of Strut: Chaos.

- Gilded Balloon
- 20th Aug, 2014
On a dark and stormy night at the Fringe, Will Seaward’s Spooky Midnight Ghost Stories will warm your cockles rather than chill you to the bone.
CineFringe Film Festival 2013
- Review
- ★★★★
- Jack Powell
- Edinburgh Festival Fringe
- 19th Aug, 2013
CineFringe is a small affair, yet its efforts to fly the filmic flag at the Fringe are admirable.
A Career in Theatre Management
- Review
- ★★★
- Jack Powell
- Edinburgh Festival Fringe
- 21st Aug, 2013
To present such a talk upon the ins and outs of theatre at its bare business-driven bones is both innovative and opportune during the fracas of the Fringe, when an attentive audien…
Get Conceptual
- Review
- ★★★
- Jack Powell
- Edinburgh Festival Fringe
- 16th Aug, 2013
The concept of a conceptual art discussion, held in a faux-Victorian salon-style parlour is the epitome of metaphorical marmite: some people would love a chance to languidly wax ly…
Foodies Festival
- Review
- ★★
- Jack Powell
- Edinburgh Festival Fringe
- 19th Aug, 2013
The Foodies Festival largely delivers what it promises: ‘Artisan producers’ - check; ‘Michelin-starred chefs cooking live’ - check; ‘the best in fine food and drink’ �…
The Hour
- Review
- ★★★★
- Jack Powell
- Edinburgh Festival Fringe
- 14th Aug, 2013
Littered with pickled brains and collectible little curios, Hendrick’s Carnival of Knowledge feels as much an absinthe-addled emporium of wonders as it does a gin-slinging sales …
Edinburgh: A Literary City
- Review
- ★★★
- Jack Powell
- Edinburgh Festival Fringe
- 10th Aug, 2013
It is difficult to discuss Allan Foster’s talk, Edinburgh: A Literary City, in division from its glorious venue: the ostentatiously oddball Hendrick’s Carnival of Knowledge.
Nitekirk - Free
- Review
- ★★★
- Jack Powell
- Edinburgh Festival Fringe
- 9th Aug, 2013
Setting up within the whitewashed walls of Greyfriars Church, Nitekirk is a gentle affair.
Uncle Henry's Happy Hour
- Review
- ★★★
- Jack Powell
- Edinburgh Festival Fringe
- 14th Aug, 2013
Claiming to have made millions with an 80s boomtime business in the corrugated iron industry (before subsequently nose-diving into bankruptcy), Uncle Henry is certainly rather rich…

For the Trumpets Shall Sound

- 7th Aug, 2013
If Siegfried Sassoon had written Brideshead Revisited, the result would likely resemble Another Company’s original piece, For The Trumpets Shall Sound.
The Bob Blackman Appreciation Society Bonanza / Free Festival
- Review
- ★★★
- Jack Powell
- Edinburgh Festival Fringe
- 17th Aug, 2013
A mad mish-mash of absurdism and warped nostalgia, encountering the Bob Blackman Appreciation Society felt more akin to my psyche bleeding out into the back room of an old boozer t…
Coming into Fashion: A Century of Photography at Condé Nast
- Review
- ★★★
- Jack Powell
- Edinburgh Festival Fringe
- 17th Aug, 2013
The title ‘Coming into Fashion’ proves incredibly appropriate for this exhibition.
Art of Alison Kinnaird - Luminesce
- Review
- ★★★
- Jack Powell
- Edinburgh Festival Fringe
- 16th Aug, 2013
Aptly for an exhibition of graphite and glasswork, Alison Kinnaird’s Luminesce is a gentle and delicate affair.
City of the Dead Haunted Graveyard Tour
- Review
- ★★★
- Jack Powell
- Edinburgh Festival Fringe
- 16th Aug, 2013
It could be deemed ironic that our group was thrice threatened with murder before our tour had kicked off.
Terror Tour
- Review
- ★★★★
- Jack Powell
- Edinburgh Festival Fringe
- 9th Aug, 2013
The name Auld Reekie Tours, our intrepid tour guide informs us, is taken from an old affectionate nickname for Edinburgh herself; it refers to the stench and smoke of olden-day roa…
Mary, Queen of Scots
- Review
- ★★
- Jack Powell
- Edinburgh Festival Fringe
- 7th Aug, 2013
In precisely the same manner as is the sumptuously propagandist portrait that opens it, this exhibition is one transparently motivated by an effort at pure populism.
From Death to Death and Other Small Tales
- Review
- ★★★★
- Jack Powell
- Edinburgh Festival Fringe
- 8th Aug, 2013
A few hours spent interrogating From Death to Death and Other Small Tales - the Scottish National Gallery’s brilliant new exhibition - feels as much like a psychic regression ses…
