Gilded Balloon Patter Hoose
PALS
★★★★☆ Cathartic
PALS from Higgledy Piggledy Productions returns to the Fringe following a successful run last year, with a hefty dose of sisterhood, impulsivity, and the realities of life as a perfectly average lassie of Scotland.
Seating Plan
★★★★☆ Snappy
In a witty two-hander about missed connections, wrong timing, and the opportunities that present themselves —or don’t— by chance in life, Seating Plan trips onto the Nip stage at Gilded Balloon Patter Hoose, raised-glass in hand.
Float
★★★★★ Luminous
In a world premiere from writer and performer Indra Wilson, F-Bomb Theatre brings Float to the stage of the Gilded Balloon Patter Hoose for a run covering the whole Fringe.
PALS
★★★★☆ Unstoppable
Filled with banter and the odd Gaelic phrase, PALS at the Gilded Balloon Patter House is a brilliant adventure-comedy that will have you laughing one minute and holding back tears the next.
The Steamie
★★★★★ Hilarious & heartfelt
Stage Door Entertainment brings Tony Roper’s classic play The Steamie to the Fringe with heart, humour, and honesty.
The Beatles Were A Boyband
★★★★☆ Deeply affecting
The Beatles Were A Boyband, Rachel O’Regan’s Fringe First winning play for F-Bomb Theatre, returns to the Gilded Balloon for a short run this year. Written in the wake of some high profile murders, it sadly still feels relevant a year on.
Swallowed
★★★☆☆ Convincingly performed
Frizz Theatre’s Swallowed is a production whose desire for topicality proves a drawback. Nevertheless, two excellent performances redeem any deficiencies.
Madame George
★★★☆☆ Great chemistry:
Madame George, by award winning playwright Keir McAllister at Gilded Balloon Patter Hoose on Chambers Street, is a dark comedy filled with easy laughs that are tinged with a great sadness.
