Of course, this show will be based around Attila’s powerful, poignant, personal, political performance poetry – still evolving after 37 years. But there will be unusual music as well...

New and improved for 2018! If you think you've seen it before, look again. Is it stand-up, improv, performance art or a situationist prank? It certainly is joyful and hilarious. 'A masterclass in comedy performance...
Very much doing what it says on the tin, Freeviously is the revival of last year’s show, Up The Stand. Think of it as watching a DVD of Phill with a shoddy memory, and the commentary track on all the time...

Pippa Evans is probably the most infectious person you’ll meet at this year’s Fringe.
