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: 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

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.
