If you love a good story, want to be swept away into a vivid and heartfelt romance, and have a healthy understanding of Lancashire culture(not essential, but definitely helpful), this is absolutely a performance not to be missed. I enjoyed every aspect of Our Martin In The Background, and look forward to seeing where and how this work may grow next.
Review: Jill’s Tupperware Party, Fringe 2026
Step into the 80th Annual Tupperware Convention with Jill and Jill, as Coral Bevan and Ricky Hunt delight and horrify with the show they’ve cooked up. Jill’s Tupperware Party is an interactive and immersive glimpse into the camp and cutthroat cult of Tupperware sales. I had the best time, and I hope I’ll see you at the next one, Jill!
A review of Heated Rivalry: The Unauthorized Musical Parody, Fringe 2026
Coming into the Udderbelly (my first show inside the big cow this Fringe), I had an idea of what to expect both from parody musicals as a genre and Heated Rivalry as the source material.

The performers burst onto the stage with high energy, big movements and exaggerated […]
A review of Harry Stachini: Lobster, Fringe 2026
A likeable and capable comedian with some strong jokes and a clever central theme, but Lobster lacks the energy and standout moments needed to make it truly memorable. Stachini has plenty of potential, and I suspect he’ll be one to watch on the comedy club circuit.
Review: Hudson Hughes – At Your Service, Fringe 2026
A full-sized coffin, eerie practical effects, and an arrogant vicar fighting for internet relevance. At Your Service at Underbelly Cowgate is exceptional.
Review: Will BF – Moon Team IIIV, Fringe 2026
Underbelly Cowgate houses one of the sharpest comedy hours this August. Will BF skewers sci-fi sequels using razor-sharp multimedia timing, lo-fi props, and original songs.
