Help! My girlfriend has dragged me to Edinburgh

When: 2nd-13th August, 15th-26th August at 10pm Where: Sweet Novotel (Venue 188) Ben's revuew: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was incredible and the best planned Improv I have seen in my years going to Edinburgh. Both performers worked incredibly well together and with the audience. A very good start to the fringe. The girlfriend's review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really strong improvised comedy, one of structered improvised I have seen but done excellently. Eaton and Christuan had excellent chemistry and were very quickly k witted. The performance combined improvised sketches and songs taking suggestions from the audience. Both are very talented Eaton was an incredible comedy performer and Christian's vocal range was insane. Special mention to Christian for his stunning Evanescence inspired song "staple horse battery"

When: Every night at 8pm Where: Bar Bados Complex (Venue 32)  Ben's review: ⭐ Some would think that to do a show about history one would have a passing acquaintance with history itself. This is unfortunately not the case for this particular show. A sour taste is left in the mouth of any wannabe historian when relatively famous figures are misinterpreted or even at times entirely forgotten. Funny more for its failings than any intended punnery. The girlfriend's review:  ⭐ If you're going to do a show with this name then it is probably a good idea to make sure that your cast have some grasp of British history. I felt like I was watching children playing games, the acting was so awkward and weak. They were all weak singers (I was laughing in pain for my ears at some points). Don't waste your time on this one. 

When: August 1-13th, 15th-27th at 5pm Where: Assembly George Square studies (Venue 17) Ben's review: ⭐⭐⭐ Everyone wants to know what made Tom Riddle so bad... and now we know. There are so many ideas wound together in this that at times I forgot the plot. Taken as individual pieces though it is laugh out loud funny standout performances from Hagrid and Myrtle. The girlfriend's review: ⭐⭐⭐ Having thoroughly enjoyed "Thrones! The Musical" a few times over the years we thought we'd check out the company's newest addition. There were hilarious moments especially from Dumbledore. Special mentions should also go to Myrtle and Hagrid. Unfortunately, the plot was quite weak and a little too random for my liking... Did we really need a character obsessed with bread? I think this group works better with an existing plotline.
