Tom Forster — Tue, 22 Aug 2017 09:00:06 +0000

Daniel Kitson does a very clunky, warm up run through of a pre existing stand up show but with some new bits and bobs swapped in for other bits and bobs.

Sweat

Summerhall — Wed, 16 Aug 2017 10:08:18 +0000

‘Brother duo in Sweat taunt a dystopian mix of club and melody. Synths short circuit into guitar and auto-tuned weeped out voices swathe into layers of driving bass. Sweat will wind and wind and wind and then even dive into techno. It’s subliminal fantasy and yet very real, splittingly designed to make you feel unhinged.’ FEAST OF THE FEST is

#TORYCORE

richardx — Mon, 14 Aug 2017 09:30:07 +0000

TORYCORE is a show like no other. A fiercely political convergence of death metal and theatre, it’s about vocalising a response to Conservative Party policies through music, speeches, powerpoint and rage. It’s a guttural, expressive experience made up of Tory doctrine, political contexts and the impact of austerity over the past five years, told through
