Ted Hill PowerPoinDexter - Studio 5 Assembly George Square Gardens - Review
PowerPoints. You hear that one word and suddenly you’re flooded with flashbacks of your school days, work meetings and even that dreaded ‘next slide please’ from the Covid days. But this is PowerPoints like you’ve never seen them before, used not to feed us data and information but instead used in the most creative of fashions to make us laugh. This is PowerPoinDexter, the new show from PowerPoint comedian Ted Hill fresh from his golden buzzer on Britain’s Got Talent. He reac

The Past - Friesian Underbelly Bristo Square - Review
What do you get when you combine two actors with several moments in history, high levels of audience participation and even higher levels of silliness?

A magician like no other, who takes you on a journey like no other, seamlessly blending storytelling, legends, comedy and incredible magic into something extraordinary, completely such mind blowing magical achievements that there really is no point trying to work out how he does it

Austentatious - McEwen Hall - Review
Take a walk down the road between George square gardens and bristo square and I can pretty much guarantee that you will hear something along the lines of ‘improv comedy tonight’ and ‘do you like improv’ maybe every five paces. Therefore, an improvised comedy troupe needs to stand out from the crowd, needs to present something different to lure in an audience, and this is something that Austentatious has down to a fine art. A big name of the Edinburgh Fringe, calling the majes
