If you are already singing heartily along, then this hour of Flanders and Swann songs will be right up your street. Cobbled together by multi-award-winning comedian Tim FitzHigham and BBC Radio 4 ‘Showstopper!’ star Duncan Walsh Atkins this hour of legendary songs is good, old-fashioned fun for everyone.

In the crush of the London Underground carriages, lives intersect like the lines that thread beneath the city. One Under masterfully brings to the forefront the thoughts that capture our imaginations as we sit solemnly waiting for our stops in a subtly and deftly told piece of drama.

Engulfed by the hubbub of the Pleasance Courtyard, for an hour Invisible Show II makes you privy to the secret lives of those embedded in the milling crowds, with a set of headphones and your keen eyes your only guides.

Crowded into the HMV Picture House, excitement hung heavy in the air. The night was kicked off by the energetic Woodenbox with a Fistfull of Fivers, whose upbeat folk accentuated by an incredible horn section managed the often difficult task of grabbing and keeping the attention of an audience waiting for the main act: Gomez.
I had the pleasure of seeing a multi-culturally-inspired a cappella group called Voices last night in an underrated show at New Town Theatre.
Not all musical conglomerations can live up to the tagline of ‘supergroup’. However, this is not at all the case with the Burns Unit, and tonight’s Queen’s Hall gig proves this Scottish/Canadian group is a super one for certain. 
Able to snap between bold physical expressions into understated naturalism in a heartbeat, this three-strong cast gives one of the best Fringe performances of 2011. The play follows three recently liberated prisoners and their struggles to readjust into a society that has discarded them. Magnificently expressed by Paul Tinto, Verity Hewlett and Shane Shambhu, Release deserves accolades aplenty and your crucial attendance.
Arthur Dodsworth has recently retired and this afternoon it his ‘pleasure’ to play host to his former secretary, Peggy Prothero, as she opportunely drops in for a visit. Charmless and brash Miss Porthero is keen to fill in her old boss on all the changes at Warburtons since his departure, saving her most callous bombshell until the very last minute.
