Mervyn Stutter’s Pick of the Fringe

It has been an awful lot of years since this former Flying Pickett first presented this ‘Best of Show’ and it is one of the most enduring to be found in the entire Fringe brochure.

The format is the same as always, but if a winning formula is found why change it? And judging that over 50% of the audience are repeat offenders it is a popular discussion. Stutter opens the show with a few gags, a couple of songs and then it is on with the show.

As always this show has a variety of comedy and music but here is where his show differs from some, there are always a couple of extracts from plays as well.

The show I saw had comedy from Hugh Hughes and Story of a Rabbit, and Ladies Monthly, stand up from Marcus Birdman, theatre in the shape of Killer Joe, all from The Pleasance, music from the very talented Nick Pynn at Inlingua , Mexican comic theatre from Callate at Assembly and finishing off with musical comedy from Tripod from the Spiegel Gardens.

Of course the show will be different everyday so could be visited several times, let Merv and his team pound the pavements and bring the best to you, then you can decide what to see more of.
