Nigel Ng: Culture Shock
He almost had audience members rolling on the floor laughing, with several at least half out of their seats. This is observational humour at its best.

The Professional Lighting and Sound Association show is a great opportunity to find out more about what’s going on in the entertainment and live events industries. Whilst the exhibitions are largely about the new tech available across the board, there are really helpful organisations on site and a range of seminars available to attendees.

Responsible Reviewing
Reviewing is a skill, it’s also an honour. Artists let you in to their show, event or space in order to tell the world what you thought. An objective yet critical view is important - but it doesn’t give you any right to disrupt it or make anyone uncomfortable.

The Musical Revue
An entertaining hour that gives you the insight to life at the fringe! Well worth seeing for both the enjoyment and understanding of what it’s like to bring a show to Edinburgh.

The Ministers of Grace and Chatroom - Edfringe shows featuring Arts Award Achievers

Alex Edelman: Just for us
This is a slick show, with a character who seems to like a touch of danger in his life. A Jew from New York who is a must see in Edinburgh.

Laurence Clark: An Irresponsible Father’s Guide to Parenting
Why is Laurence irresponsible? Apparently because he has Cerebral Palsy. The show humorously demonstrates that Cerebral Palsy has nothing to do with it - but all about being a Dad.

Justin Moorhouse: Northern Joker
Justin’s experience shines through. We’re in a good sized venue and it's pretty full. He needs to connect with a lot of people, and he does so with humour, agility and a likability northerners are known for. He tackles such big issues as inflated prices at harbour-side restaurants and where to keep the ketchup.

A superb assessment of a terrible practice. In our 'fast' society now we do expect entertainment to come abound, and clearly studios want to capture this for profit. I'm sure it's a problem elsewhere too, and society should frown on practices like this. There's many examples of boycotts and even marches in other parts of the entertainment industry (and work in general) - greater awareness of the issues may well be helpful in garnering support.
