Jarred Christmas
First published in Fringepig - Tuesday, July 31st, 2018I think reviewing is a skill that a lot of reviewers do not possess. Also maybe have a tiny review of the reviewer at the top of their review. Their experience, their preferences. How they were feeling that day. How many shows they had seen that day. Then we get a balanced view of their opinion.

The Lampoons
First published in Fringepig - Tuesday, July 31st, 2018We won’t mention who, but a stout gentleman arrived with an old brief case and note paper, which we knew may not end well after he rejected the ping pong balls we give out to the audience (for secret reasons) needless to say he opened the review with “I’m not sure what I walked into, but there was aimless laughing for no reasons that I could compute.” Also he hated our snake puppet but that was hit and miss!

Sean Morley
First published in Fringepig - Tuesday, July 31st, 2018Objectivity in the arts is the tooth fairy for adults. If you want to be successful you must appeal to the value system of the kind of person capable of becoming a professional reviewer – the tight cabal of coughing men, sitting at the back coughing into their notebook.

Colt Cabana
First published in Fringepig - Sunday, July 29th, 2018Our show is so weird the reviewer usually says that it shouldn’t be a show, how is this a show? Then they give it 4+ stars. Not one negative review in 5 years.

John McInnes
First published in Fringepig - Sunday, July 29th, 2018I plan to write reviews of my show. I don’t plan on reading those reviews.

Martin James
First published in Fringepig - Sunday, July 29th, 2018To my knowledge I have not been reviewed, and I’d like to keep it that way for as long as possible. Though I do remember at the back of one of my gigs, an older gentleman was VERY INTENTLY examining a London A to Z map, so there’s probably a review implicit in that.

Ivo Graham
First published in Fringepig - Saturday, July 28th, 2018I like to see Edinburgh posters uncluttered with stars, and have been doing my best to lead by example since 2013.

Phil Ellis
First published in Fringepig - Saturday, July 28th, 2018…the incompetent fools at EdFringe Review send two idiots into each show, so now you get two stupid people reviewing at the same time. They wear fleeces with the “publications” name on them, so if I see them in my show this year, I’m going to piss on their notebooks, which are almost certainly going to be electrical.

The Establishment
First published in Fringepig - Friday, July 27th, 2018I don’t think politicians, or the authorities should be deciding what is funny or not.

Paul Currie
First published in Fringepig - Friday, July 27th, 2018Reviews are ALL bullshit, they mean nothing, all written by scared introverts who have no comprehension of what live comedy actually is and the bravery it takes to do it, because if they did they wouldn’t be judging any of us.
