REVIEW: PANTI: HIGH HEELS IN LOW PLACES (Traverse Theatre) ★★★★
Panti Bliss is a well known head on the Irish gay scene. A national treasure you might say (and she does). She even has her own Cabaret bar in Dublin called the Pantibar. I went along expecting an hour of comedy and lip-synced songs but what I actually got was a very interesting look into […]
REVIEW: BRIEFS (Assembly Hall) ★★★
I love Briefs (they’re so comfortable) lol. I see it every time it is in London and even their children’s show Bratz: Kids Carnival (which is the polar opposite of their late night raunchy show) is brilliant. So seeing the show at this years Edinburgh Fringe was a no brainier. Described as an Aussie Cirque du […]

Corporal Theodore has been sent to the hangar to carry out his duty alongside Captain Milo, the latter of whom has been stationed there for what appears to be a long period. The identity […]
