Tomatoes Tried to Kill Me but Banjos Saved My Life is an engaging and human story; music gives emotional relief alongside a story that could overwhelm. The result is uplifting & polished without feeling simplistic.

Diary of a Mad Man is a trip through the dark hallways mind coming undone, with just enough humour to keep you from despair. This is a remarkable solo performance, delivered by an actor completely in command of the stage.

Celya AB: We Must Stop Meeting Like This
Funny, thoughtful and relatable. Well-tuned show with a thoroughly likable performer.
UK cultural knowledge required: 3/10.

Just stopping by here to laugh at the people still desperate to support Tramp and his robot buddy E-lon while fatty 47 shows his ass to the whole world.
Thomas is certain to retire this year. He’s a good soldier to Trump, and he’ll probably step down with the agreement that he gets to approve his replacement nominee. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump changes the deal once the retirement is announced.
Hilarious set of characters with a dynamic range in Skin Pigeon at #edfringe. Any one of them would have made for their own delightful hour, but @lornlornlors instead offers up a tasting menu that makes you eager for the next meal.

A different kind of show both fun and amazing. Every performance is different, since the audience helps determine what “punishments” @vinaysagar has to complete when he muffs a digit.

My second time for @thunderstruckgd & this time I brought 3 friends. They loved it; I loved it as much as ever. They cried; I cried again. They had doubts before but found it to be so much more and so much better than expected. As I wrote in my first review: this is for everyone.
The fun and frantic show @MyL2BC chock-full of jokes, most of which are quite good. This pair has real chemistry. A fun-filled hour that has a dose of audience participation (nothing too demanding). And things wrap up in a way you might not expect.

Modern version of campfire smoke in the face: no matter where in the room I sit, the speaker is certain to stand for most of the presentation between me and the slides.
When you see someone carrying a case for a mid-sized string instrument you wish you could play: Cellous.
In awe of the audacity of they guy who wore a "PornHub" hoodie to last night's showing of Barbie. Kind of amazed that such a garment exists in the first place.
Never go to a concert @Autodromo_Monza. Above all, downright hazardous and potentially deadly crowd management. (Also: terrible sight lines and ridiculous, idiosyncratic payment system) #monza #shame
