John Shuttleworth: A Wee Ken To Remember
Likeable singer-songwriter's gentle Northern humour is becoming cringeworthy - and not in a good way
Dylan Moran: Off the Hook
Grumpy old Irishman battles against modern society with this bitingly hilarious tirade.

Less direct and more wide ranging than previous years, Susan Calman continues to be one of the Fringe's best.
Don’t Worry Guys it’s Sarah Campbell
[rating: 4/5] Ferociously funny stand up on the importance of tupperware and our growing redundancy.
Hennessy and Friends: Murmurs
Wide-ranging sketch show from an oddly matched trio.

Silly reigns supreme in an enjoyably human exploration of surreal comedy.
