Grace Petrie: Butch Ado About Nothing
An hour of funny storytelling, with the occasional gut punch from popular folk singer Petrie
Stokes and Summers: Careering
Tiktok favourites bring their debut hour of absurd sketch comedy to the Fringe
Abigail Rolling: Shit Lawyer
Rolling wears her political and social heart on her sleeve from the outset, and her audience tonight is on her side

She brings a ferocity to her most-involved routines which almost dares us to be offended
Ram of God
Invitation to an absurdist sheep-themed religious cult brings mixed results
Saved
Retro instruments deconstructed and repurposed for a pleasingly kitsch show
Liam Withnail
Hot Sauce
Another great hour of comedy from one of the circuit's favourite standups
Micky Overman
Small Deaths
A well constructed, laugh-packed show that deserves a big audience
Rachel Jackson: Almost Famous
Scottish comedian barrels through the hour in a whirlwind of jokes and arresting honesty
Conrad Koch: White Noise
A funny and engaging show that tackles racism with the help of an abrasive puppet pal
