Review: Evo Evo
(PR Invite) Evo Evo is a show brought to Playhouse East this week by four London-based Balkan performers. It's difficult to describe the show in terms of a particular genre, but this performance is a mixture of humour, song, dance and comedy sketches that shares and celebrates a culture that is often overlooked and underrepresented.

Review: We'll Always Have Paris
(PR Invite) We'll Always Have Paris is a new play written by Paul Kalburgi, which has been running at the White Bear Theatre in Kennington for the last few weeks, ending its run on 3 October. Inspired by cinema's greatest love stories, this 120-minute play, with a 15-minute interval, tells its won love story but with a heartbreaking twist.

Review: DAD
(PR Invite) Dad is a new play written by David Solomon and produced by Cellar Door Theatre Company. The 80-minute production follows three estranged brothers who are forced to come together when their father goes missing. Yet no one is completely devastated by the news, and it soon becomes clear that there are more truths to be unearthed as the evening goes on, eventually coming to a head in an explosive and emotional ending.

Review: Don Toberman: Ping Pong Champ
(PR Invite) The concept of this show is absolutely bizarre, and I did wonder before going in how exactly it would work. However, what I found was a really clever and immersive piece of theatre that had me in tears of laughter for much of its 60-minute runtime.

Review: Vasthy & Friends: Sing, Dance, Play!
(PR) Vasthy & Friends: Sing, Dance, Play! is a fun and interactive musical with songs, dancing, fun and laughter for families. The show recently performed during the Edinburgh Fringe with a 60-minute runtime; however, I am reviewing a shorter recording of the production provided by the team.

Review: Mega Church Xmas Play
(PR Invite) Written by Nicola Ryan, Mega Church Xmas Play is described as a “surreal, absurd, irreverent farce”, so I was very intrigued to see what the show had in store.

Review: Fantasy World Adventures Mega Park! The Musical
(PR Invite) This show needs to come with a warning… you will, for several days afterwards, have the Fantasy World Adventures Mega Park theme stuck in your head for hours...days even!

Review: 00:45:00
(PR Invite) By Wilison Labs, 00:45:00 is a 50-minute play following an experiment where five people walk into a room, but only one can survive. Will everything go according to plan? I signed an NDA so I can’t tell you…

Review: (No) Refunds
(PR Invite) What a fun night out! (No) Refunds is an interactive game show play that runs for sixty minutes. Your host? That would be Tiffany Gold — a fabulous, stylish American presenter.

Review: Goodbye Dandelion
Review: This show completely stole my heart, broke it, mended it and wrapped it up again. I would happily watch this again if I could and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since - literally getting teary-eyed thinking about how beautiful it was.

Review: The Meeples: XXX
(PR Invite) If you’re looking for a relaxing evening out, this show is not for you. BUT, if you’re after some chaos, song, dance and a hilariously wild night out, this is certainly that!

Review: This Is How I Got Arrested (after Smuggling Drugs across the border but never actually getting caught with any drugs)
(PR Invite) I really wasn’t sure what to expect with this one and it was an even better experience than I imagined. Despite the title of the show being the longest of any show I’ve ever seen at Fringe, the show itself absolutely flew by! Sixty minutes of absolute chaos…in the best possible way.

Review: Bliss
(PR Invite) Bliss has been a highly anticipated show this Edinburgh Fringe, so I was excited to finally see it - and while it has a few areas that could be tightened, there’s a lot to enjoy.

Review: Woman Seeking Cuddles
(PR Invite) Written by Ron McAslan, Woman Seeking Cuddles is a 50-minute play following the life of Harper after she unknowingly sleeps with her sperm-donor father, and life is never quite the same following that. Harper copes with the trauma and discomfort by having sex with numerous men - it’s messy, raw and at times really humorous.
