Ali Cook: Principles and Deceptions @ Hen and Chickens
Star of Channel Four's Dirty Tricks and Five's Monkey Magic, award-winning TV magician Ali Cook returns this preview of his new Edinburgh show, a heady mix of anarchic illusion and off-beat comedy. Cook's irreverent persona and respected sleight of hand have made him one of the pioneers of the alternative magic scene. Check him out.
Wednesday 23rd June
Toby: Edinburgh preview @ Invisible Dot
An Edinburgh preview of new material from brilliant sketch duo Toby, a pair of twisted sisters vying for their Mother's affection. They earned great reviews at last year's Fringe, and this new show, will almost certainly be worth a look.
Thursday 24th June
