This is the year of Cabaret at the Fringe. Everyone is saying so, and BBC Radio 1 have jumped wholeheartedly onto the glittering bandwagon. In a car park at Potterrow, a newly erected – mostly inflatable – BBC village is the setting for Radio 1’s Scott Mills and Nick Grimshaw to lead us, whooping and cheering, through a princely heap of famous faces, voices, and bodies. This is the Fun and Filth Cabaret, and they are doing it in style.Fun and Filth has everything you can want from a Cabaret show. It has music, comedy, dancing, freak-show antics, a few Lady Boys, and sparkling repartee from the hosts. On opening night it welcomed amongst others, the Axis of Awesome, Daniel Sloss, and a herd of Hasselhoffs. The four-show run promises appearances from Russel Kane, Seann Walsh, and James Morrison, while Angelos Epithemiou returns daily to deliver his special brand of lip-bitingly awkward comedy. And it’s not just the household names, Fun and Filth welcomes some of the biggest and best Fringe acts with open arms. Never are the audience left wanting, as one act gambols into another in this fantabulous eclectic mix.Radio 1 have all they could ask for in their inflatable, star-studded tent in Edinburgh. They have an audience who, above all else, just want to have fun. Deafening applause greeted every act, and every appearance of the ringmaster generals Mills and Grimshaw. Despite being just a fraction of Radio 1’s nationwide audience, the crowd in the inflatable erection made themselves heard - I have little doubt that for that hour, everyone listening at home wanted to be sitting where I was, watching a real romp of a Cabaret show.
