Isobel Rogers brings her debut hour show How to Be Content to the Fringe festival this year. Rogers is a singer songwriter comedian who throughout her show, armed with her guitar, shoulders the burden of being a hyper millennial.
Naturally funny and sunny in equal amounts, Katie Green has an up-beat stand up style that makes it impossible not to warm to her.
Selena Mersey’s debut hour at Edinburgh Fringe Festival is full of twists and turns, songs and perfect comedy timing.
Zoe Brownstone’s self-assured, affable stand up presence makes her incredibly watchable. On stage doing stand up is certainly where she belongs.
I saw 18 shows over six days at the festival. It was fast, furious and fun. Here’s my Edin burgh Festival Fringe diary with some quick-fire reviews for the all-important poster quotes!
