The concept of Lachlan Werner - Voices of Evil is a surprisingly simple one. Brew is a small witch always accompanied by Lachy, “her poof.” Together, they are going to perform a ritualistic sacrifice, in which Lachy definitely won’t be killed as the virgin sacrifice.

King of More: #FOMO Clinic is a heartwarming show that will bring you a ridiculous amount of joy. The show is truly what you make of it, so why not have some fun? You only live once, so #JOLIF without fear!

I must begin this review by admitting that I typically am not the biggest fan of clowning and physical theatre, so I went into The Man Who Thought He Knew Too Much with a bit of skepticism. Would I enjoy 70 minutes of a show like this? The answer? A surprisingly enthusiastic yes!

The concept of Grow is simple, yet lovely - The audience is helping The Gardener look after their friend’s allotment, ensuring that the plants will grow. Niall Moorjani takes on the role of The Gardener, an enthusiastic person who does not know how to help their friend grow a plant but is willing to do whatever it takes to get it done!

Every comedian dreams of their big break, the one gig that will change their life. What if that gig is in Cirque de Soleil’s new show in Las Vegas, Mad Apple? What if they want you to fly out to Vegas with your wife and newborn baby? Then, the dream gig might be a bit more complicated than you first thought.

If you know me, you know that I have a deep love for Segways. Whenever there is a chance to take a Segway tour, I immediately hope on it (yes, pun fully intended). So as soon as I saw a show with the description, “A show dedicated to Mr Segway, the man who invented the segway, all performed entirely on segways,” I knew I had to go.

While I wanted to love Benjamin Alborough: Absolute Monopoly, the lack of control over the audience led to a disappointing show. Absolutely Monopoly has the potential to be a fantastic show, especially with Alborough’s insane game-host energy, but audience control needs to be established from the beginning in order to keep things going.

Adrian Bliss has made the jump from TikTok to the stage, and I would say it is quite a successful jump. Adrian Bliss: Inside Everyone tells the story of an atom who is determined to make something great out of themselves and does this by hopping onto different “greats” of history - Boudica, Cleopatra, William Shakespeare . . . The list goes on.

Gary is dying, the rest of the brain cells have evacuated, and only #12 and Clive are left, leaving them to try to save Gary. They are, literally, the last two brain cells, and God help Gary if these are the two who are meant to save him.

A sexy fairy, goats, and a river of blood in a place known as Elfland. Sounds crazy, no? But, in the world created by storyteller Niall Moorjani, nothing is too crazy. Moorjani returns to the Scottish Storytelling Centre to tell the tale of a person who wants to find themselves and is whisked away to a magical land to help find their place.

Drew Michael is losing his hearing, and he’s ready to tell the world about it. Drew Michael: Drew’s Adventures is a comedy show in which Michael describes his journey with hearing loss and how it has affected him as a person.

There are many different ways to express and get through your grief after losing a friend. Some people go through their phones, fondly looking back at photos and videos of times spent with that person. Some people reach out to other friends so they can help each other through the grief. And some make an hour-long comedy show for the Fringe.

Rob Auton: The Rob Auton Show may be slow, but it is powerful. You will leave having had the human experience, which is exactly what Auton is striving for, making his show effective in its mission. It is wonderful to hear a comedian talk about life and its simple pleasures with such joy and I look forward to seeing more of his work in the future.

MC Hammersmith: Straight Outta Brompton is a delightful hour of freestyle rapping that will leave you in awe of Naameh’s skills and clapping along to his sharp and hilarious raps.

The Trials of Galileo is a beautiful reflection on one man’s struggle between mathematical truth and his devotion to God without being too heavy on either math or faith. Hardy feels as though he is born to play Galileo.

What do “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus and the Taliban have in common? According to Horatio Gould, it's more than you might think.

Have you ever used Marketplace to buy something? Have you ever been scammed by someone on there? Have you ever befriended the man who has scammed you, changing the course of your life for the next year? Michelle Brasier has, and she’s ready to talk (and sing!) about it.

Have you ever been sitting in a theatre as an audience member, watching a show, thinking, “I could do better than that!” If you have, The Importance of Being . . . Earnest? might be the show that you have been looking for.

Fielding Edlow: Gaslighting Is My Love Language is a celebration of one woman’s independence but also a reflection on life choices and how to move forward after over a decade of a difficult marriage.

As someone who worked in an opera house in New York and volunteers with an opera house in London, I have had quite a bit of experience with the genre and several different shows. I decided to go to see A Comedy of Operas to see how they were able to combine opera, rock, and pop into a fun love story.
