Hugely entertaining storytelling as Lara Mc Clure recounts the sex lives of Ulster’s Iron Age Queens in Oral Tradition #edfringe #EdFringe24 @theweereview theweereview.com/review/oral…

Mutiny afoot inside the Trojan Horse. A fun filled hour of silliness with a surprising side salad of social comment #edfringe #EdFringe24 @theweereview

Utterly brilliant fun. Luke Rollason is a master of creating and manipulating audience laughter. Loved it. @theweereview

Worse Than You features a superb performance. Well worth the 5* review I gave it and gets better the more I think about it @theweereview
Here's one from my colleague @gertfromwell. Worse Than You earns 5* for its fast-paced comedy and annoying yet touching central character - "diva with hidden depths", he writes. I saw an extract at the C launch and loved it too. On all month (except today) theweereview.com/review/wors…

It's a very salubrious venue. I felt like the Ruffian on the Stair myself @theweereview
Nice to see this review come in from my colleague @gertfromwell. The Royal Scots Club is a bit of a "sleeper" venue - nice bar, great space, proper raked seats, and often quality local work. In this case Joe Orton's The Ruffian On The Stair. 4*, till Sat: theweereview.com/review/the-…

Saw @RAYCASTLETON @buxtonfringe @greenmanart yesterday in the excellent #WithoutMaliceOrIllWill. Gripping one man show about torn loyalties during the 1980's mining strikes. Catch it tonight if you're in Buxton (it finishes before the game).
Back to the Buxton Fringe Festival tonight for a 6pm performance at the lovely Green Man Gallery! And again tomorrow (Saturday) and Sunday before the BIG MATCH!!!! Get your tickets and go and see other events at this brilliant festival!!
