People might ask what is it about the UK Fringe/comedy/cabaret circuit that makes it stand out so much and it could be a hard one to figure out, or to make even the best argument for one of the most diverse forms of performance you’re likely to witness. Then it comes to me, Frisky & Mannish, a duo who epitomize and who have in such a short space of time built up a cult following.

Going to see Chris Cox, the ‘mind reader who can’t read minds’ has become a TNC tradition during the Edinburgh Fringe festival. His type of show is pure magic to see with a packed out audience who become willing players in his great delusion. The show’s magic stems from Cox’s professionalism and beauty as a performer who makes it seem effortless even though you can be assured he has given his soul to the show.

Last year during E4 Udderbelly at Edinburgh Fringe one the the knockout acts was award winning Beatbox musicians Shlomo who show ‘Mouthtronica’ become one of the most talked about shows of the fringe.

UK festival season is about to take off and the infamous E4 Udderbelly Festival at the Southbank Centre is one of the bigges and respected festivals with its famous upturned purple cow becoming a dominate feature along the Themes. Already well established on the festival calendar the E4 Udderbelly brings some of the biggest acts to the Southbank for a truly unique festival.
