This is the female version of Neil Simon’s classic 1965 comedy, updated by the playwright himself in 1985 – but forty-odd years on, does the premise still hold water?

So Aussie comedian Brendon Burns has won the top Fringe comedy award with his outrageous show "So I Suppose This Is Offensive Now." It's one of the comedy shows that I managed to see

After their sell out show at last years Edinburgh comedy festival Watson and Oliver have returned to this year with a brand new sketch show proving to be funnier and more dynamic than before.

I was somewhat intrigued by the premise of this show: two Germans smashing a car to music! It is certainly an original idea, the likes of which most festival-goers will have never encountered.

Lorna Watson and Ingrid Oliver are exceptional comic performers. It is one thing to make an audience laugh through carefully constructed witticisms, as they do here with excellent timing and persistence.

If you like cabaret burlesque this is a must because Voodoo Vaudeville know how to hold a very naughty party!

Penelope and Madeleine Solomon sing and sketch their way through an hour's worth of entertainment accompanied by a fine three-piece ensemble of button accordion, snare drum and double bass. This trio can certainly klezmer (klezmer being Jewish secular music, deriving from kleys (a vessel) and mer (song), i.e., song for drinking occasions).

It’s always unnerving, and not just as a reviewer, when you sit in a theatre po-faced while those around you roll in the aisles amongst all manner of internal organs let loose through split sides, isn’t it? Well, that’s what “I, Lear” almost managed to do to me yesterday afternoon.

Get ready for a flight of fancy. If you hadn't guessed from the title, Pegabovine is very, very silly. It's about a Coat of Arms with six sleeves - a potted history of the Winterbloom family using a six-sleeved coat as a theatrical device to skip though history (it's a time travelling coat of course).

Best Western is a new drama written and directed by Perrier award-winner Rich Hall, who incidentally is also doing a stand-up show throughout August. Although Best Western is billed as comedy in the Assembly programme, as Hall acknowledges in an introductory speech, before he slips behind the scenes, it's dark stuff indeed. "It just came out that way," excuses Hall.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect from a show where the protagonist says he will "turn into a computer," but Will Adamsdale's credentials are promising. He was a Perrier Award-winner for Jackson's Way in 2004, and recipient of a Fringe First for The Receipt in 2006.

Once again, Trey Guevara and Frankie McCastro return from the future, (2017 to be precise) to rouse apathetic and blinkered Festival-goers into sparking a revolution, thus saving the Fringe from total corporate sell-out.
