There is a bridge in Edinburgh over Cowgate, the George IV bridge, that drips constantly even when it hasn’t been raining.

Every time I visit the Fringe I’m captivated by the creative ingenuity … Continue reading

The Comedians: Review for Everything Theatre
I reviewed The Comedians at the Chelsea Theatre for Everything Theatre: The Chelsea Theatre has a large black-box theatre and a small cabaret venue. This seems like it would work really well for Comedians, which involves putting on a comedy set between two acts that take place in a classroom setting. Instead, the move between … Continue reading

In Perfect Nonsense Matthew Macfadyen, Stephen Mangan and Mark Hadfield serve up – on a silver platter – an evening of dulcet-toned, dinner-jacketed fun.

Clean, Sharp Comic Work: Immaculate at the White Bear Theatre
Repost: with One Stop Arts closing, I migrated this review here. Thundermaker’s Immaculate is a hilarious and clever look at the problem of approaching the supernatural in modern-day life.
