Mervyn Stutter's Pick of the Fringe

Mervyn Stutter's Pick of the Fringe, Underbelly's Hullabaloo (Venue 171), 13.00 8th - 30th August (not Tues)

What a joyous hour and a half that was.

There are many similar shows to this across the Fringe, but what separates Mervyn Stutter's is the sheer quality of acts. They have been hand picked by his team, which means, someone has sat there and watched the whole show and deemed it worthy of this slot. Fabulous.

Today's acts were:

Mercy Madonna of Malawi
Everything Must Go
This is Now
Gaze
Long Tooth
Ivan Brackenbury's Hospital Radio Show
Honk

I don't think I've missed anyone out! As you can see, this was an eclectic mix of comedy, theatre, musical and dance. There really was something for everyone.

The whole show was held together by excellent compere Stutter. He really did get the crowd going and keep them there.

I honestly would recommend this show to everyone. It gives you great tasters of some of the most fabulous acts across the Fringe, but at the same time, it really is a wonderful show in itself.

My vote: 5*
