Things are winding down at Biscuit Towers - it has been a pretty heavy year, as we're sure you'll agree...
The Adventures of Wound Man..., Pleasance Courtyard. Chris Goode enchants with this quirky, tender and frequently side-splitting tale. 4/5
Cabaret Whore, Underbelly. Four eccentric stars for the price of one silken-voiced Sarah-Louise Young. Guaranteed to get you guffawing. 4/5
The Caroline Carter Show, Zoo. Pleasant if unexciting. An irresistibly likeable Carter becomes much funnier as the whiskey goes round! 2/5
Comedy Zone, Pleasance Courtyard. A perfectly chosen variety box of impressive stand ups. Each very different, each totally hilarious. 5/5
The End, Pleasance Courtyard. Hypnotic and poignant, this rewardingly dense piece tugs at both your brain stem and your heart strings. 4/5
Love Songs For A Timewaster, Gilded Balloon. An uninspiring story sung with mixed metaphors aplenty. It would baffle if it didn't bore. 1/5
Hit Comet, Bedlam. 'Dunk your heart in the dipping sauce of my love.' Head to this comic take on the pop industry for the lyrics alone! 3/5
Muscle, Zoo Roxy. Moving and neatly layered exploration of men and manliness. Bursting with strong solo work and tight ensemble scenes. 4/5
My Big Gay Italian Wedding, C. Not for everybody, but as fun as they come. Camp, raunchy slapstick with an exceedingly warm heart. 4/5
The Perils of Love and Gravity, Bedlam. Moments of genius flicker, but a flabby script blunts the obvious talent of this creative team. 2/5
Rockertinkler, Zoo. Good-humoured play covering everything from nudism to philosophy. At times breadth became isolating, but well acted. 3/5
Shane & Eddie, Just The Tonic. Imagine two peppy dads from a village panto being given their own show. Bad impressions of rich people. 2/5
Tim Key, Pleasance. Superlative stand-up from a man who loves baths so much he's got one on stage. Deep breath: prepare to belly laugh. 5/5
Viewless, Remarkable Arts. An intriguing, unsettling and at times hilarious exploration of a mundane job that literally changes lives. 3/5
