We'd expect Alexander Bennett’s I Can’t Stand The Man, Myself  to be an extremely deprecatory set, like the title would suggest. In fact, it’s a very honest critique, not only about himself, but about wider issues that whittles down into an exploration about the complexity and nuance that accompanies life instead of the good vs bad polarity that permeates most narratives.

Liz Guterbock's Geriatric Millennial uses the innocuous lens of the term to explore society's attitudes to women, in particular childlessness and ageing and intersperses these subjects with innocuous observations about the differences between British and American cultures.

Philip Kostelecky’s Daddy’s Home is an extraordinarily strong Fringe debut. It’s a casually fun hour that is performed with a kind of boundless energy that does in fact lift the atmosphere in the venue exponentially.
