Gilded Balloon
Willie and Sebastian
✭✭✭✭✩ Immoral compass:
Foul-mouthed and funny, Willie and Sebastian is far removed from what might be expected of the established double act of Andy Gray and Grant Stott. Nevertheless it provides an entertaining hour, with Gray in particular close to his very best.
Boxman
✭✭✭✭✩ One-man wonder
Many plays tread a fine line between comedy and pathos. Such delicacy is not for Boxman in the Gilded Balloon Turret. Rather, it unheedingly hurls itself across that line with extremely successful results.
Review – Kiss Me Honey, Honey!
★★★☆☆ Assured comic performances
Mainstays of the annual King’s pantomime Andy Gray and Grant Stott are reunited at the Gilded Balloon Teviot in Kiss Me Honey, Honey!, a new two-hander written by Philip Meeks.
Review – The Agony And Ecstasy Of Steve Jobs Revisited
Is this a play or a TED Talk re-enacted? It is a compliment both to the quality of the writing by American monologist Mike Daisey and to the performance by Scottish actor Grant O’Rourke that it is so easy to forget that it is the former.
Review – Bath Time
✭✭✭✩✩ Radge recollections:
Sex, drugs and hands-in-the-air euphoric tunes are bangin’ away at the heart of Ruaraidh Murray’s cannily personalising tale of nineties Edinburgh gangland life.
