Step into the 80th Annual Tupperware Convention with Jill and Jill, as Coral Bevan and Ricky Hunt delight and horrify with the show they’ve cooked up. Jill’s Tupperware Party is an interactive and immersive glimpse into the camp and cutthroat cult of Tupperware sales. I had the best time, and I hope I’ll see you at the next one, Jill!

If you love a good story, want to be swept away into a vivid and heartfelt romance, and have a healthy understanding of Lancashire culture(not essential, but definitely helpful), this is absolutely a performance not to be missed. I enjoyed every aspect of Our Martin In The Background, and look forward to seeing where and how this work may grow next.

Coming into the Udderbelly (my first show inside the big cow this Fringe), I had an idea of what to expect both from parody musicals as a genre and Heated Rivalry as the source material. While this show is absolutely a combination of those two things, and it serves both mostly faithfully, its sum is […]

A bright, friendly and well‑run themed breakfast that offers something a bit different to do during the Fringe with friends and family.

If you appreciate clever comedy built on folk music, family heritage, and medieval research, Caitriona Dowden's Sesh Head is an absolute treat.

A full-sized coffin, eerie practical effects, and an arrogant vicar fighting for internet relevance. At Your Service at Underbelly Cowgate is exceptional.

A deeply intimate and introspective dive into what it means to be oneself at any cost, through a delightful body horror lens that also comes with belly laughs, impressive physical performance, and a not unconvincing argument that murder may just be moral and even more shockingly, vegan.

A likeable and capable comedian with some strong jokes and a clever central theme, but Lobster lacks the energy and standout moments needed to make it truly memorable. Stachini has plenty of potential, and I suspect he'll be one to watch on the comedy club circuit.

Frogs in Bogs is a joyfully chaotic children’s show that throws itself wholeheartedly into silliness. Set in an underground, sewage‑like world where mischievous frogs live among squelchy pipes and boggy tunnels, the show builds a playful atmosphere from the moment it begins.

Tabletop Roleplaying Game: The Musical is highly relatable, funny and entertaining show that will appeal to anyone with experience of playing TTRPGs. A great shout for nerds!

Rough around the edges improv comedy with some jankiness I found wholesome and connecting, Yu brings together the crowd for a session of playful bullying, (not too traumatic) embarrassing stories, and glues them together into one collaborative crowd work tale. YMMV, but I walked away feeling like I had a brief and hilarious adventure into a living murder mystery fairy tale with new friends (and co-conspirators).
