Touch - Bill Dare
 Touch - Bill Dare ... young woman drowning in a river, he leaps in to rescue her - but whose life is really being saved? Playwriting debut from award-winning TV producer. Directed by Owen Lewis. / The Pleasance Courtyard (located at 60 Pleasance) has over 300,000 visitors, fourteen venues, six bars, three cafes and every kind of entertainment under the sun. It's little wonder that for many people the Pleasance is the Fringe. 'The best of all possible worlds' The Observer.Newest Review: ... there are enough well crafted plot twists and insinuations as the play moves on that it all proved very rewarding and entertaining, even for someone who usually feels uncomfortable watching people act four feet away from him. Bill Dare’s writing is strong and his characters believable, and in fact the most significant problem I found was that the comedy, present as promised, sits quite ... more ... uncomfortably alongside the more serious and emotional scenes and actually serves to weaken them.

Creative and artistic, but still accessible. 
A little short and dramatically uneventful. An amusing look at preserved moments of history, in Norman Lovett's familiar dead-pan manner. It's still essentially an old man showing some slides and talking about them. Richard Herring's mid-life crisis tows a fine line between despair and entertainment.

Great venue Prices for drinks etc
Stewart Lee - 41st Best Stand-Up Ever!
Everything the publicity claims is true. Self-satisfied desire to remain obscure gets in the way.
BBC Stand up show live!
Late night opportunity and great value for money, particularly in the half-price preview week. A mixed bag of mostly average, lowest-common-denominator stand-up.
Tom Stade - Setlist
Involves the audience in trying to make sense of a jumbled board of prompts. Targeting of the disabled and war victims will doubtless offend.

Great entertainment The Venue
