COVERING THE EDINBURGH FESTIVAL SINCE 1996
Ladyboner (Art Sex And Snacks)
Don’t watch this show with your parents – as the name suggests, it’s a little bit naughty. Arriving on stage in a fluorescent green outfit, Australian comedian and self-proclaimed goth Lisa Skye clearly feels the need to be provocative. She delivers her comedy in the form of art, poetry and a rather accurate depiction of ‘dad dancing’. Skye is a very engaging performer and her recounting of personal experiences provides a lot of laughs, but the shock-value of some of the material can overshadow that. She definitely has the potential to be very entertaining: witty, but not quite as outrageous as she possibly thinks she is.
C Nova, until 26 Aug (not 12), 4.50pm.
