ED2018 Comedy ED2018 Three To See Today
Three To See on 9 Aug: John Robertson, Sofie Hagen, Wil Greenway
By ThreeWeeks Editorial | Published on Thursday 9 August 2018
Three recommended shows to see on Thursday 9 Aug – every one a former ThreeWeeks Editors’ Award winner…
John Robertson: Sweaty, Sexy, Party Party | Just the Tonic at The Tron | 10.20pm (pictured)
A Fringe veteran and constant favourite of the TW review team. Indeed he’s been making fans, achieving high acclaim and gathering good numbers of starry critiques from our reviewers from many, many years now, which is why we handed him one of our Editors’ Awards in 2016. Basically, always recommended.
Sofie Hagen Tries Something | Laughing Horse @ The Counting House | 3.30pm
Sofie Hagen has won a multitude of acclaim for her Edinburgh shows over the years, not least from the TW team. It was in 2015 that we handed her one of our Editors’ Awards. Meanwhile in her 5/5 review at Fringe 2016 we noted “her masterful delivery often reflects her confident ownership of her own pain, and she’s brilliant at doing ‘creepy’ jokes without actually making people uncomfortable”. Go see!
Wil Greenway: Either Side Of Everything | Underbelly Bristo Square | 2.50pm
When we presented Wil with an Editors’ Award at Fringe 2016 we noted the kinds of words our reviewers have used to describe his various shows over the years: witty, beautifully crafted, wistful, impeccable, hilarious, heartbreaking, hugely entertaining, life-affirming, honest… and weird. We continue to love his eloquence, his humour, his polished, well thought out performances.
