So, after what was a slower than usual start for us, we’ve packed in a few shows this week, despite the return the school which seriously hampers our ability to see all the fantastic shows out there !!

We’ve had some total highlights this week …

For the younger ones, our new mini-reviewer has really enjoyed :

Strictly Barking – This is the unlikely and quite brilliant tale of a man called Hogarth and a homeless, nameless dog that become ballroom dancing partners and enter a competition together….

.

Mog the Forgetful Cat – This slick and highly accomplished show is fast paced enough not to lose the attention of the small ones in the audience, yet doesn’t move so fast as to be baffling to them. Our mini-reviewer was captivated from start to finish ..

.

For all ages, we’ve enjoyed :

Kokoon – Kokoon bring high energy to the stage, whether it’s their dancing, singing, comedy or beatboxing…this show has a sprinkling of everything. There was a LOT of screaming as the front rows were filled with dedicated fans, but that added to the upbeat, energetic atmosphere…

For older children, we adored…

Kathy and Stella Solve a Murder – True crime fans will adore this show, and so will pretty much everyone else ! It has both the perfect blend of mystery to keep us engaged and humour to keep us entertained…the humble wheely office chair is given a starring role too !

And we’re only half way through the fringe, so there is plenty of time to get out there exploring and seeing more…our mini-reviewers have got a busy weekend planned, so keep an eye on our reviews as we keep updating them ….
