Lei-Ldn ⭐⭐⭐⭐
It was a bit of a surprise for the whole audience in Pleasance Green to be up on their feet learning how to Candy (a dance!) by the end of the show – but by then they were all completely under the spell of Na Keisha Pebody.
The members of the packed crowd were actually trying their best to impress her, or her character Chardaye, who had rapped, sung and danced her way through the previous hour of non-stop entertainment.

The End is Near ⭐⭐⭐⭐
In Edinburgh it’s 1661: Janet is accused of witchcraft. In London it’s 1911 and Caroline has been arrested for her suffragette activities. It’s 2028 in the USA and Lauren has been detained for having an abortion.
Melissa Ainsworth’s new play The End is Near looks at society’s centuries’ old determination to control women. As the rights gained through past suffering and protest are increasingly threatened and eroded, Ainsworth’s powerful writing shakes us awake and reminds us that the time to act is now.
Thanyia Sharpe
Rosemary Kaye wrote: “I usually avoid comedy shows like the plague. I rarely get the jokes and I live in fear of being picked on by a scary comedian. I once went to see a stand up with my husband, and it was all he could do to stop me leaving at half time. I spent the entire show slid down in my seat, eyes fixed floorwards.
“So when I say I have just been to Thanyia Moore: August, and loved every single minute of it, I think that tells you almost all you need to know. This woman is searingly funny, but she’s also warm, empathetic and a brilliant storyteller. You leave feeling that you not only know this lovely person, you’d really like to keep chatting with her all night. She’s smart and sharp, but she’ s not scary, not even to a total wimp like me.”
Rob Auton:CAN (An Hour Long Story)
Rob Auton began as a Fringe performer in 2012, playing to small but appreciative audiences on the Free Fringe.
It was clear at those early performances that he had great potential. His growth as a performer was very evident in his performance of CAN (An Hour-Long Story).
