Dana Alexander’s comedy is irreverent and outspoken. As the only black comedienne in Canada, she decided to swap Toronto for Tottenham and has been rolling in the material ever since. Bring on her Edinburgh Fringe debut: New Arrival. 
Rugged up in his duffle coat, Danny is keen to share that “I done a show all about travel and places” whilst pointing to his green felt-tipped map of Britain. From the word ‘go,’ you’ll want him to be as funny as he is disarmingly endearing. Although he may be offended at the comparison to Paddington Bear, the appeal and wish to protect him is there. Thankfully Danny’s is a presentation which, every now and again, passes you a little pearl of wit. 
Phil Nichol plays the character of jazz-poet Bobby Spade in a recreation of the character’s 1974 performance that ended in catastrophe. Backed up by his band, Nichol swaps between gently-spoken poems and screamed songs, telling the story of a lonely man on a journey through the city.

Difficult, unsparing, almost deliberately oblique, Drought and Rain delivers an hour and some of music and dance theatre that feels at least double that. As an exploration of the Vietnam War through the eyes of people that lived through it, it is undoubtedly flawed, failing to find much tension or even emotional connection to the conflict. However, it is not without its shining moments.

In the crush of the London Underground carriages, lives intersect like the lines that thread beneath the city. One Under masterfully brings to the forefront the thoughts that capture our imaginations as we sit solemnly waiting for our stops in a subtly and deftly told piece of drama.
Engulfed by the hubbub of the Pleasance Courtyard, for an hour Invisible Show II makes you privy to the secret lives of those embedded in the milling crowds, with a set of headphones and your keen eyes your only guides.
I had the pleasure of seeing a multi-culturally-inspired a cappella group called Voices last night in an underrated show at New Town Theatre.
Crowded into the HMV Picture House, excitement hung heavy in the air. The night was kicked off by the energetic Woodenbox with a Fistfull of Fivers, whose upbeat folk accentuated by an incredible horn section managed the often difficult task of grabbing and keeping the attention of an audience waiting for the main act: Gomez.
