REVIEW: Marcel Lucont: Les Enfants Terribles @ Bosco Spiegeltent
Lucont’s personification of the sardonic Frenchman, complete with perpetual shrug and world-weary sighs, provides the perfect vehicle for his sharp barbes aimed at modern UK life and parenting. His criticisms are delivered with a charm that makes even the most biting remarks feel like a friendly taq

REVIEW: ‘Spit It Out’ at Rotunda Theatre (Brighton Fringe)
Adam – trans actress Willow MacDonald – takes us on their journey to be Emily in Alice K Stephens’ searingly honest coming-out play Spit It Out. Willow is quiet, unassuming and mesmerisingly honest in their portrayal of the fast-food server who wants to dress as a woman but initially proclaims they

REVIEW: Cabaret Impedimenta @ Bosco Spiegeltent
Fasten your sequins as I spill some hot tea to about Cabaret Impedimenta at the Bosco Tent, Brighton Fringe. If you’re envisioning a well-organized, seamless cabaret night, think again. This was less a show and more a circus where the clowns didn’t get the memo to stay in their own ring.

REVIEW: ‘Summoning Sondheim’ at Bar Broadway (Brighton Fringe)
Grace O’ Keefe and I have something in common. We both wrote to the musical theatre giant Stephen Sondheim – and we both got replies. But Grace, along with Jordana Belaiche, decided to put that incident at the heart of their hour-long tongue-in-cheek tribute to the late maestro. Feeling his loss as

REVIEW: Siblings & Séayoncé: House of Horror @ Spiegeltent
These mini macabre monsterettes merged with manic melancholy ‘Drags’ was like watching the Gremlins masterminding the Fall of the House of Usher. High Guignol Daftness and pure fringe delight.

REVIEW: ‘Where Do All The Quiet Gays Go?’ at The Actors, as part of Brighton Fringe
Rob Cattanach is a gay archaeology student on a mission – to find a boyfriend or failing that, just a friend. With Rob at a mic on a stand this short piece at Brighton Fringe looks and feels like stand-up. But it’s not. Between each excruciating narrative chapter, Rob turns upstage and coming back t
