There has been a lot of talk at the Fringe this year about comedians mining their own trauma for material. It used to be dead dad shows, but that has now been overtaken by shows more specifially about mental health, ADHD and autism. So it's refreshing to see a show that is incredibly funny about something incredibly trivial. In the case of Eric Rushton, it's a show about an email that was written in the heat of the moment that spiralled out of control. A bit.
It's the show you've been waiting for. The show that you thought might never happen. The show that goes to places that other shows can only imagine. Well, maybe. It's Shitty Mozart, the hi-tech low brow multi-media comedy from Aaron Nemo, a staff writer at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and songwriter for Adam Sandler.
If you like your comedy about as childish as saying "pooh pooh" this is the one for you.

Reclusive puzzle-setter, John ‘Ludwig’ Taylor (David Mitchell) sees his life of solitude turned upside down when his identical twin brother, James, disappears without a trace. In a quest to track James down, Ludwig assumes his brother’s identity, but by taking over every aspect of James’s life, Ludwig is forced to confront his own. Unlike Ludwig, James is no hermit; he's a family man and a highly respected DCI within Cambridge's busy Major Investigations Team.

Launching on Tuesday 10th September, Ends is an optimistic exploration of generational sacrifice spanning themes of immigration, family and politics.
Before the Edinburgh Fringe began this year, John Tothill hit the headlines with the story of having deliberately contracted malaria in a clinical trial in order to fund his 2023 Edinburgh Fringe debut.
It generated so many column inches that he was delighted to find that, despite the malaria making him feel the worst he’d ever felt in his life (at the time), it ultimately not only filled his fringe show coffers, but also raised his profile quite considerably.

It’s a while since I’ve heard the words ‘nonce’ and ‘paedo’ used as a punchline.
It’s not edgy to do this, frankly it’s old fashioned.
