[Review] Comic Abuse

Thursday, August 10th, 2006

Go see this show if for no other reason than the pleasure seeing three promising youngsters. It’s like seeing a clip of Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie and the likes from their turn at the Fringe: skills and charms oozing from every poor and careers in the making from the word go.
Robert Peel, JackWhitehall and Charlotte [...]

Another day, another round of interveiws, and another podcast. It’s the second part of Stephen K. Amos’ Fringe diary (Stephen will be bringing in his audio diary to us throughout August), and another first for the podcast. That’s right, [...]

[Review] Jimmy James: Divas Dead or Alive

Thursday, August 10th, 2006

Flamboyant, engaging, jaw-dropping, ascerbic: just some of the adjectives that spring to mind when you see this diminutive star with the giant personality. From Tina Turner to Judy Garland, Cher to Neil Diamond, Jimmy sailed from one diva identity to the next with shimmering ease. His Eartha Kit was unmistakable, his Billie [...]

[Review] Reginald D Hunter - Pride and Prejudice (and Niggas)

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

Hunter is an engaging and skilfull storyteller, and this show had people rolling in their seats more or less from start to finish. He’s an African-American now living in London, and was good-naturedly resigned to regularly being mistaken for one of (the small number of) the UK’s other famous black men, accused every other [...]

Review] My Name Is Rachel Corrie

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

This is the one-woman portrayal of a real-life tragedy: how a young American peace activist died tried trying to help the beleagered Palestinians. The drama traces the personal journey which took Rachel to Palestine, and ultimately to her brutal end under an Israeli bulldozer. A bleak rubble-filled urban backdrop, coupled with the [...]

[Review] The Dream Dealer

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

I think it would be fair to say that in John Kielty, the Fringe has found the 21st century’s Child Catcher. Playing the titular role as part Faust, part Bela Lugois and part Vincent Price, the Dream Dealer uses his addictive ice creams to capture the souls of the unwary school children looking to escape [...]

There’s a fair amount of religious based shows at the Fringe - which isn;t surprising as religion is something that has impacted, in some way, on everyone’s life. So following on from yesterdays ‘will I won’t I’ pairing of [...]

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

Visitors to http://www.edfringe.com/, the official Fringe website, will hopefully have discovered their brand new podcast section, where naturally The Podcast Netowrk’s podcast is featured. Now, if I can get a little attribution and a proper link back to this site I’ll be over the moon!
