In her final assignment as Edinburgh Correspondent, @sarahbpolar.bsky.social went to see @pierrenovellie.bsky.social's new show 'Okay, One More Then Bedtime', and it went almost exactly as expected!:
Pierre Novellie stands on stage at the Monkey Barrel, holding a microphoneI should state this up front: Pierre Novellie is one of my absolute favourite comedians, he could monologue for an hour about Field Marshall Montgomery's Big Shorts and I'd give it 5 stars. So, going into Pierre's latest Fringe show I was pretty sure I knew what I was getting into. 

The queue outside Monkey Barrel was buzzing with stories from last year's show 'You Sit There, I'll Stand Here'. The atmosphere, you could say, was electric. 

This year's show is another banger, and it's been a busy time for everyone's dream pub quiz teammate: he's got married, he's finished a huge tour, and he's been to Japan. There are so many high points in this set, from demons in the loft, to "Hagrid in Versailles", a new interest in Japanese Zen Buddhism, and an Autism Horn. I recommend Pierre's show to friends every year and this is no different. 

See Pierre at Monkey Barrel 3, 19.05 until the 29th August. There's no crowd work and it's a great show to see by yourself! Buy tickets ASAP as they sell out FAST. 
Monkey Barrell 3 is an enclosed basement space, it can get HOT in there and is also pretty noisy when everyone is chatting before the show, which can be quite overwhelming.

@sarahbpolar.bsky.social fought her way through the Edinburgh crowds to see the wonderful Cerys Bradley's work in progress show 'On Road Signs'!
Cerys Bradley on stage wearing a black lycra suit, with a green painted faceCerys Bradley appears on stage in the packed venue, wearing a huge traffic light hat with a green-painted face, and states: "First, I must address the shorts". I'm not sure any of us had noticed the shorts, but this was a lovely introduction to one of the most beautifully autistic shows I've ever seen. 


We are taken on a whistle stop tour of road signs, their designers, their meanings, via the relatability of the common toad and a subtitle machine. 

The main thing I got from watching this show was to be reminded how absolutely brilliant it is to listen to a fellow autist infodump about their most favourite thing. Am I more interested in road signs now than ever before? YES. Was I surprised at how funny the history of road signs could be? YES. Would I recommend this show to someone who's never even thought about road signs before? ALSO YES!


See Cerys Bradley talks about their favourite road signs at Nic 6 (Nicolson Square Venues Courtyard) at Hoots @ Nicolson Square, at 12.40 until the 23rd August.

The venue gets pretty warm so I'd recommend taking some water! It's not the easiest venue to find but the staff are really friendly and helpful.

@sarabpolar.bsky.social continues her Edinburgh Fringe odyssey, seeing Abbie Weinstock's @giraffetheplay.bsky.social
A photograph of Abbie Weinstock, mid Giraffe the play. she is wearing a black t-shirt and is standing in front of a black background.Firstly, I must admit to something potentially embarrassing. Despite being resident in Edinburgh for over 13 years, I have never been to see a one woman play. This wouldn't be strange anywhere else, but this is Edinburgh, and this is the Fringe. 


Due to the above, I had very little idea exactly what I was getting into when seeing Abbie Weinstock's play 'Giraffe', other than it being a play involving one woman. 


Not to give any spoilers, but I now believe one woman plays to be SPECTACULAR, based entirely on this one example. Deeply funny, sometimes sad, and at points horrifically relatable, Giraffe follows our heroine Eliana through two weeks of trials. Along the way, we meet fantastic characters so vividly brought to life, from burnt out mum to drama therapist, I was stunned, I barely took any notes because I was enjoying myself so much (sample note: "this is really good"). There's so much in here that autistic women will find familiar: masking, misdiagnoses, and trying to learn social skills in often unusual ways. 

This is an absolutely fantastic play, I still feel so invested in the story and the characters that I wish there was a series. Abbie Weinstock is brilliant, the writing is wonderful, I am running out of superlatives. 


See Giraffe at the Pleasance Courtyard (Cellar), 13.45 from the 16th to the 31st August (not 25th). It's a very comfortable show to go to by yourself, with no audience participation. The venue is down steps but there is a lift you can use if you notify the venue in advance.
