Points of view: theatre, comedy and news
Gracing the Edinburgh Fringe once more with his presence, comedian, actor and improviser-extraordinaire Chris Grace talks to Pepper&Salt about his new show 88%, being okay with almost perfect and asking the tough questions without the assumption of getting any of the answers.
Making her Edinburgh Fringe debut with her show Squeaky Bum Time, triple threat and Ted Lasso star Sapphire McIntosh chats to Pepper&Salt about her new hour, writing process, hope and realism as well as what artists might make the cut for her pre-show playlist.
There is a slight element of risk to Ben Pope’s The Cut. If a comedian is talented enough and crafts a joke well, the risk of taking a big swing with a punchline or topic can pay off in a very major way. The Cut is an example of when the opposite happens.
Live performance is one of the best forms of escapism. This rule is perpetuated by Thor Stenhaug’s debut, One Night Stand Baby, an effortlessly funny and clever hour of the purest form of comedy. It’s just a very solid hour of good humour and exquisite comedic craftsmanship that should be on everyone’s list this Fringe.Â
Ollie Horn joins Pepper&Salt to discuss his new Edinburgh Fringe show, 'Comedy for Toxic People (and their friends)', finding the line and his plans to challenge his audiences.Â
