Review: Geoff Robb The Music of Trees 21 May 2022

I was running a bit late to get to the gig and I cycled down to the Unitarian Church on New Road arriving a bit flustered. I sat down in my seat moments before Geoff came on. I very soon found myself relaxing and my pulse rate slowing down. Geoff introduced the set to the sound...

Review: Charlotte Fox: Cosmic Narcissist Brighton Spiegeltent: Bosco 19 and 29 May 2022

Charlotte Fox is a comedian who seems to want to simultaneously be a Zumba instructor. How she moves so much and still keeps talking I don’t know. She is a ball of fizzing energy and fun with some of the most outrageous and hilarious stories. Naughty and nutty and high adrenaline...

Preview: Geoff Robb The Music of Trees 21 May 2022, three performances

I remember seeing Geoff Robb busking in the Pavilion Gardens 20 years ago or more. He was a very talented classical guitarist then. I am very much looking forward to hearing how he has developed into a professional performer and composer. I really like trees too so I will be in...

Review: Aaaaaaaargh! It’s a Bonanza of Comedy from Around the Fringe By Laughing Horse Comedy Saturday 14 May 2022

My second outing to the comedy showcase did not disappoint. MC L. J. Da Funk is brilliant at warming up the crowd. I just love his ridiculous “southern Baptist preacher” accent as he called it. Five acts ensued all of whom I would recommend seeing in full if you get the chance....

Preview: Aaaaaaaargh! It’s a Bonanza of Comedy from Around the Fringe By Laughing Horse Comedy 14 May 2022, 17.45, Caroline of Brunswick

I am looking forward to this showcase. It is always hit and miss with comedy but last week there were far more hits than misses. I ended up watching the full show by one of the acts immediately after. It was great. Catch this showcase every Saturday and Sunday upstairs at the...

Review: Spiegel: Heart of the Fringe By The Establishment with Beach Without Sand

I arrived at this show knowing only that the hilarious duo, The Establishment, were hosting this evening of cabaret and clowning. I knew they would have a good selection of acts on and I was not disappointed. After the audience were suitably warmed up by the Financial Times...

Review: Bad Luck Cabaret at the Spiegeltent 8th May 2022

Laurie Black returned to her rightful home in the Spiegeltent this Sunday. She takes to the boards in this historic wooden theatre as if she has always lived there. She absolutely owns the stage and the grand piano as if it were her playground where she is Queen and rules with a...

Review: Aaaaaaaargh! It’s a Bonanza of Comedy from Around the Fringe By Laughing Horse Comedy

Making an initial joke how about naming the night failed to work as the Fringe Comedy programme was not alphabetized, L. J Da Funk, started off the show. The Rapper alter ego with an intriguing Southern US accent was a great host and compere and very funny with some friendly...
