GOOSE: KABLAMO<br />

Sweaty one-man cartoon. Breakneck poly-character comedy from an MDMA marionette. You won’t know what’s hit you but you’ll like it.<br />

Top Seven Sketch Shows of the Fringe” Time Out, **** “You just have to submit to this force of nature” Chortle<br />

GOOSE: YANKIN’ THE CORDUROY (WORK-IN-PROGRESS)<br />

Goose try out bits (jokes that work) and bobs (jokes that don’t work). At this stage of the year, we’re normally trying something<br />

ludicrously ambitious on a demeaningly low budget. Come watch that bubble burst. One of the hits of 2015’s Edinburgh Fringe. ****<br />

“You just have to submit to this force of nature, until it deposits you, dizzy but exhilarated” Chortle. **** “Hugely impressive” Daily Mirror.<br />

GORE: WHAT IS HE GOOD FOR?<br />

Comedy, hopefully. Do you like it? Good. Here’s an hour of it, plus some pathos if I can find an excuse to crowbar that in. Work in progress<br />

GRAINNE MAGUIRE: GREAT PEOPLE MAKING GREAT CHOICES<br />

Since most of us make our most important decisions riddled with doubt, self hatred and armed only with quotes incorrectly attributed<br />

to Marilyn Monroe to guide us, can we be trusted to do it right? Grainne Maguire, as seen on Stewart Lee’s Alternative Comedy Experience,<br />

and as heard on Women’s Hour & The Now Show has a good old think about it. **** Chortle, The Skinny, Three Weeks “Extremely Funny” The Times<br />
