Shakespeare for Breakfast: With coffee and a croissant (half the appeal of going to this show) we enter the auditorium where the actors are speaking with every 'thou' and 'dost' they could fit in and attempting to get audience members to recite sonnets. In Shakespeare land puns are used where possible and jokes were constantly being groaned at. It was a good show but can't say I will be rushing to see this mix match of characters perform in rap battles again.

Dirty Decadence: A modern ballet with modern classical music. The interesting choreography, costumes and fast moving story was engaging but, while not awful, the dancing let the show down slightly. The small space it was performed in must have made it hard to dance but I felt if the dancing was slightly better it could have been a truely outstanding show.

Joseph Morpurgo- Odessa: Where do I start? This absurd show was about a detective investigating a fire and the bizzare array of characters she met along the way. Insane is the only word I can think of to describe it. It was funny, entertaining and shocking (wasn't expecting to be hugged or other odd things happen to audience members). The acting was commendable (huge congrats to Joseph Morpurgo) and it was well written but the craziness didn't completely impress me.

Jamie MacDowell and Tom Thum: These two are some of the most talented musicians I have ever had the pleasure of watching. Jamie MacDowell, a singer- songwriter and Tom Thum, a beat-boxer, give us an evening full of laughs and the most incredible music. The originality of Jamie's beautiful voice and music with the incredible sounds created by Tom really did make the best evening of the Fringe so far. Their album is bought and their songs are playing.
