I had a great time at the Fringe with lots of lovely audiences. Reviews (and reviewers!) seemed to be thin on the ground this year, but the public posted some lovely feedback online and on twitter. Here’s a selection…
Easily the best comedian I’ve discovered at #edfringe is @TomGoodliffe. Maths, raps and comedy. What more could you want from a show?

Thug Liffe – Finally someone with same enthusiasm for maths and rap. We had as much fun as dividing by zero @TomGoodliffe 🙌

Just saw @TomGoodliffe do an excellent show melding accountancy and gangsta rap in a fantastically accessible way. Thoroughly recommend!

Tom Goodliffe: Thug Liffe – show details
Good news! I’m bringing a brand new stand-up show to Edinburgh in 2014.
More good news! It’s free!
Tom Goodliffe – Thug Liffe. 4.45pm, Laughing Horse @ Bar 50, until 24 August.
Tom’s an award-winning comedian, thirty-something accountant and big, friendly nerd. So why does this country boy like urban music? Why do any of us like what we like? And what good is a head full of rap lyrics from the 90s when you’re stuck in your 30s? A stand-up comedy show about reluctant adulthood, misplaced nostalgia and hip-hop. ‘Charming, intelligent wit’ **** (ThreeWeeks). ‘Clever gags and bumbling charm’ (Scotsman). ‘Hilarious’ (Skinny). ‘Wickedly insightful and instantly likeable… one to watch’ (Fest). ‘Cute, lovely, friendly, charming, adorable and sweet… also funny’ (Hairline.org.uk). ‘Unlikely white boy’ (Chortle.co.uk).
