Miss Behave hosts the wackiest, zaniest game show at the Fringe! You are kept on your toes, trying to outsmart the opposing team. No one’s really sure what the rules are, except that there are some - ‘we make up our own rules!’ our host declares gleefully. If you get an answer right, she rewards, and if you misbehave, she punishes.

We were also clamouring for Miss Behave’s approval, like school children enamoured with our favourite teacher who’s showing us something exciting for the first time.

From the get-go the audience immediately develop a camaraderie with their teams, trying to get the answer before the others, because there’s everything to play for. We were also clamouring for Miss Behave’s approval, like school children enamoured with our favourite teacher who’s showing us something exciting for the first time. Except the teacher is wearing a fabulous, fitted gold glitter dress and shows off her moves to all manner of beats.

Using a combination of a makeshift easel and cut-up cardboard with instructions, we play analogue variations of popular phone-app games. I don’t want to spoil any of the fun, but at one point there were skittles and hammers involved. I wish there had been more games to play, and at times the dodgy wifi in the room delayed some of the tasks. But Miss Behave never stops entertaining, and she will keep on adding to her repertoire of tricks throughout the Fringe.

It’s a pay-what-you-want show, and definitely one of its kind. Go, and make sure to take your phone with you!

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.

The Blurb

A game show for the austerity generation. Part game show, variety show and disco. Everyone’s a winner! In a reaction to the slick and earnest high production that populates the world of entertainment today, Miss B presents a deliberately lo-fi, silly and audience-centric bag of fun. Starring the good, the bad and the absurd of Edinburgh Fringe, plus an awful lot of cardboard. Come and experience a genuinely unique experience in a world of generic mediocrity. Important: Briiiing-briiiing your phones! ‘Shockingly good!’(Evening Standard). www.pay-what-you-want.info
