Rob Rouse gets his teeth into Edinburgh Fringe 2010

Board Meeting: Rob Rouse

23 Aug 2010

OK, so ignore the fact Mr Rob Rouse is standing in front of the wrong venue board, and pay attention to the GENIUS of bitten sheep. It looks like he's biting it! Who needs Toy Story 3? This year he's talking about sorting himself out with the…

Pete Firman illustrates his Edinburgh show via a whiteboard

Pete Firman illustrates his Edinburgh show via a whiteboard

Board Meeting: Pete Firman

23 Aug 2010

Aww...look how nice Pete Firman is. He's only gone and starred out the sweary word on his board so we don't get offended. Thank fuck. He's also been very sensible and named his show in fine Ronseal fashion, so you know exactly what you're getting: Jokes…

The Board Meetings Prize for dapper dressers go to these lovely Time Travelling Magicians, who won our hearts by doing a little fancy trick with their tiny flyer. It was like the future and the past all in one hand movement. Magical fun. Morgan…

Board Meeting: Robert White

23 Aug 2010

You are looking at a man in blue, with blue pants over tights, holding a trumpet in one hand and a whiteboard with a phallic keyboard on the other. You, ladies and gentlemen, are looking at Robert White. Robert White's Outrageously Peculiar Organ…

23 Aug 2010

Look at the cheeky wee grin on it. There's a panda AND a bear on this board, topped off with a Paul Sweeney sporting a lovely moustache. What more could a discerning audience member require? Oh, comedy. That too. Paul Sweeney and Tom Webb,The GRV.

Board Meeting, Bruce Fummey, Fringe 2010, Nothing in Particular,

Bruce Fummey warns our board that the end is nigh!

Board Meeting: Bruce Fummey

19 Aug 2010

It's an apocalyptic sight on a Fringe afternoon and a pretty doom-laden topic, as Scottish comedian Bruce Fummey talks about the end of time. With jokes. After a few years looking to history for inspiration for his shows, this time he's looking at the…

Board Meeting, Fringe 2010, Me! Me! Me!, Sarah-Louise Young,

Purple pornstar namesake draws us a rather un-sexual picture

Board Meeting: Sarah-Louise Young

19 Aug 2010

Sarah-Louise Young takes on many guises. She's a darling of the cabaret scene, adopting a variety of characters to showcase her many acting and vocal talents. She's also, as it happens, one of our most chipper models to date. And the ukulele? Apparently…

Board Meeting, Fringe 2010, henry paker, Mike Wozniak, The Golden Lizard,

Golden Lizard give us one of the most impressive boards

Board Meeting: Golden Lizard

19 Aug 2010

Their lizard may not be entirely golden in this shot, but it has a nosebleed. Random bits of blood is, we believe, the new thing in comedy. Especially when you give comedians the option of a red board marker. Nice funny boys doing characters and…

Board Meeting, Fringe 2010, The Comedy Zone,

Comedy Zone show off their artistic talents

Board Meeting: The Comedy Zone

19 Aug 2010

If you're finding it difficult to decide which comedians to see, then The Comedy Zone has four fine young things showing off for an hour and a half. And, if their whiteboard is to be believed, they all look exactly the same. Apart from the scary giant…

Andy Linden, Board Meeting, Fringe 2010, I Kid You Not,

Andy Linden expresses himself in odd ways on our board

Board Meeting: Andy Linden

19 Aug 2010

It's the dude you might recognise off the telly doing chat and that. If we were to analyse his Board, we could conclude that he either sees himself as the Elephant Man or a balloon. We're not sure which is more worrying.

Yianni Agisilaou

Yianni Agisilaou

A lovely hour with some fine, funny company

(3 stars)16 Aug 2010

In They @#$% You Up: Greek Parents, Agisilaou presents a charming show about his Greek-Cypriot family. He’s a naturally affable storyteller, with clear affections for his unique relatives, brought to life with fabulous set pieces. The delivery…

Simon Evans

Simon Evans

Tightly written and carefully delivered

(4 stars)16 Aug 2010

Evans executes the carefully crafted persona of an articulate, opinionated after-dinner speaker with a penchant for an extended vocabulary. Within the boundaries of this character, he charts familiar territories: slagging the Welsh, the Geordies and the…

Alfie Brown & Ivo Graham

Alfie Brown & Ivo Graham

Rants and interruptions hamper this newbie duo

(2 stars)15 Aug 2010

Maybe they’ve had too many accolades in the past year, including the So You Think You’re Funny title for Graham, and have become complacent. Maybe they were having an off night, or rushed up to Edinburgh, eager to show their talents but not quite sure…

Ronna and Beverly: You'll Do a Little Better Next Time

Ronna and Beverly don't need to do better next time

Board Meeting: Ronna and Beverly

13 Aug 2010

Ronna and Beverly light up the Courtyard as they totter towards the whiteboard challenge with their trademark Jewish Mother voices cutting through the polite chat of a billion posh people talking about reviews of people they're planning on buying (ok…

Me! Me! Me!

Pipe smoking Mr B Scribbles down some of his favourite things, "Me"

Board Meeting: Me! Me! Me!

13 Aug 2010

There are some acts that you meet and wish they made the rules for how the rest of the world dressed, behaved and rapped. Mr B the Gentleman Rhymer doesn't, yet, but you could totally get tips in his lunchtime show at the Ghillie Dhu. But keep the pipe…

Sarah Bennetto: The King and I

Sarah Bennetto draws her first card

Board Meeting: Sarah Bennetto

13 Aug 2010

Sarah Bennetto is totally winning our prize for best (and quite speedy) drawing. She's spending her August telling of how Prince Charles (actually) invited her to the Palace and how she (actually) went. Look! It's Charles on a card! Our minds are…

Lady Garden draw out their secret show

Lady Garden draw out their secret show

Board Meeting: Lady Garden

13 Aug 2010

Looking particularly floral, Lady Garden catch the eyes of people loitering in the Courtyard this afternoon. It's not just the amazing oufits: these six ladies have been building a reputation as one of the sketch shows that it's worth making an effort…

John Robins pictures his Fringe show as a confused smiley

John Robins pictures his Fringe show as a confused smiley

Board Meeting: John Robins

13 Aug 2010

You may have heard his dulcet tones on Jon Richardson's 6 Music Show, or you may have already been entertained by his comedic charm. This year's show is about growing up fast: just look at that photo: thumbs up, sad winky face...it's so many levels at…

Daniel Rigby draws us up a biblical board

Daniel Rigby draws us up a biblical board

Board Meeting: Daniel Rigby

13 Aug 2010

Daniel is telling the tale of life as a lapsed born-again Christian and so has, quite rightly, drawn a cross on his board. He has also adopted a beautifully holy expression, which was nice to see. However, the show is not guaranteed to be a fast track…

Gyles Brandreth: The One to One Show

Gyles Brandreth is 'One to One' with the shiny white board

Board Meeting: Gyles Brandreth

13 Aug 2010

What can we say? It's Gyles Brandreth! He's doing a show. It features Gyles Brandreth! We took this photo, which also features Gyles Brandreth! He's lovely dresser, that Gyles Brandreth.

Gareth Richards introduces a fridge called Dave

Gareth Richards introduces a fridge called Dave

Board Meeting: Gareth Richards

13 Aug 2010

That box thing on Gareth's whiteboard is Dave the Fridge. Look it up on Youtube, if you haven't already had the pleasure, and you'll get a taste of the quirky mixture of stand-up and tunes that will be trickling through the Pleasance Cellar round about…

Domestic Goddi: Wonderland

At least they're showing us how to draw a cake

Board Meeting: Domestic Goddi

13 Aug 2010

These three ladies have been garnering quite a reputation for themselves...no, no not like that...they're funny. A funny reputation. Oh shut up and look what a neat cake they drew. In case you can't read it, they also wrote 'obesity rules' on the side.

Nat Luurtsema supports the dinosaurs using wipeable pens

Nat Luurtsema supports the dinosaurs using wipeable pens

Board Meeting: Nat Luurtsema

13 Aug 2010

This Summer Nat is discussing heroism and being helpful in bad situations. As such she drew the first dinosaur of the Board Meeting series, complete with first sword. If that's not worth having a gander at her quirky brand of comedy, then the dinosaurs…

Dan Antopolski

Dan Antopolski

Confidently entertaining

(4 stars)10 Aug 2010

It’s difficult for a comedian to both maintain a wide appeal and avoid falling into a safe and cliché-riddled set. Antopolski copes admirably with the mission, mixing gags (and there’s one to compete with last year’s ‘hedgehog’ phenomenon) with personal…

Elis James - Daytripper

Elis James - Daytripper

Scruffy yet sharp show about obsessions

(4 stars)8 Aug 2010

Elis James is charming company. Even when fluffing the end of his show, he’s wooed the audience with the skills of a sharp compere so they totally forgive the slip.
