⭐⭐⭐⭐ Camp joy against the system Bryan, Bryan and Bryan are back in the room. They are ready to discuss stocks and rates, explain 2008 and why we can’t just print more money. Very accurately, as well as acutely funny. Part comedy, part drag show, with a touch of personal stories, this explosive show boomed…

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extraordinary, tragicomic simplicity Three generations of women under one roof and the passing of time. In this picture, a middle-aged woman with a great sense of independence finds herself carrying the emotional load of the roles of daughter and mother in the same closed space… until life evolves to a critical stage, where the…

⭐⭐⭐⭐ – a boisterous stand-up comic to watch. Jess Fuchs is a natural comedic talent: she’s got the timing, the quick wit, the self awareness, and the ability to turn anything into material. The 32-year-old Aussie stand-up comic immediately commands the room in a warm, hilarious and unpretentious way, making it impossible not to like…

⭐⭐⭐ – hot, messy and all over the place. Georgia Polly-Taylor’s one woman show Very Hot. Very Messy is, best described by her own words, a ‘comedic carnage spectacle’. It’s so full of props, gags, pop culture references, and – last but not least – a glittery toilet wrapped in purple boa, it’s enough to…

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – A genius tale of toxic masculinity. No Hard Felix is a one-man show by Northern Ireland-born actor Mark Ryder who takes us for a hilariously silly yet vulnerable ride with his alter ego, Felix. Felix, a man in finance, trust fund, (almost) 6ft 5, blue eyes, is the type of guy we all…

Only in its third year of existence, the little southern sister of Manchester and Edinburgh Psych Fest returns to Brighton’s aplenty grassroot venues to gather local and international names from the psychedelic and alternative rock scene. And boy oh boy, did they cook up a storm of energetic tunes, riffs, synths and visuals.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ truly mesmerising. A couple and their younger double; a house near the sea and the catastrophe of coastal erosion. As slowly and inexorably as the rising of sea levels and the succession of heavy rains, dementia erodes the memory and capabilities of one of the protagonists.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Funniest stand-up this Fringe! Sid Singh brings us a show about politics and how he had a date with his stalker (and put her to the test… with politics, of course).
-
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clever drag parody. If Johnny had a profile on a dating app, I imagine it like this: a selfie of his face (from below), a selfie in the gym flexing muscles, a selfie in the gym leaning against the machine and tilting up his chin; description: ‘Just a simple guy from the North. AKA…

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Queer absurdist dark comedy AKA such a strange, funny play. Like the title promises. Patrick and Claire are still wearing accessories from their wedding ceremony and are driving to Niagara Falls for their honeymoon. It’s late, it’s dark, they are tired, and the car ends up in a ditch, not before having hit something.…
