I had the chance to return to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for the first time since 2019, once again to review cabaret and LGBTQ+ shows for the Scotsman.
I caught a couple of dozen shows during my week there – about half of my reviews have been published so far and you can read them by clicking through on the links below (in the order they were published). Happily, I would recommend all of these.
Sooz Kempner: PlayStation | Séayoncé: Res-Erection
Tina Del Twist: Caravan in the Sky
Looking for Me Friend: The Music of Victoria Wood
You can also read my round-up of four terrific queer shows here. They include Wilf, Delicious Fruit, Grandmother’s Closet and No Place Like Home – plus a nod at the excellent Ode to Joy (or How Gordon Got to Go to the Nasty Pig Party).
The remaining reviews will appear over the coming days (I’ll post another round-up when they’re out). Strong recommendations among them include:
Grace Petrie: Butch Ado About Nothing
Black Sheep
The Anniversary
Other strong recommendations for shows I saw but am not reviewing:
MasterClass
Gayboys
And I kept hearing great things about The Chosen Haram but wasn’t able to see it.
