Bridget Christie
 Bridget Christie enters dressed as a bishop with gorilla’s hands and throws wafers at the audience; you would be forgiven for thinking this show is going to be an assault on the senses and physically. Thankfully, she calms down after this and settles into her chatty and friendly routine.Wil Hodgson
Tony Law
 Awash with identikit comedians, you can often leave Fringe stand-ups feeling a numbing sense of déjà vu. That is, of course, unless you have had the experience of sitting in the audience of Tony Law’s new show, Go Mr Tony Go! Expectant of an audience well-versed in the tropes of stand-up, Tony makes it his mission to turn every expectation on its heads, in a fabulously Mad-Hatter-and-the-March-Hare-like way.Cul-De-Sac

A skinhead and a Care Bear fanatic may not sound like they fit together, but they are two major components of Wil Hodgson and his act. Another surprising fact is that Hodgson was trying very hard not to offend or be cruel people (unless they really deserved it and it is true), which I found refreshing for a stand up.
“There’s something rotten in the cul-de-sac. And you know it!” This three-man production is the stuff of curtain twitchers’ dreams. Offering a masculine spin on The Stepford Wives, Matthew Osborn’s new comedy is, judging by the packed audience, going down like the proverbial cucumber sandwich at the Vicar’s tea party. 
Kerry, despite complaints about being exhausted, bounced around the stage like a relentless ball of energy, talking a mile a minute on topics that vary from her favourite parts of Wonder Woman’s outfit to the trials of family life.
Fresh from touring the UK with Milton Jones and Josie Lang, James Acaster's Edinburgh debut celebrates those little things in life that cannot help but raise an irrepressible smile. Seeing the sea, hiding, the fifth stroke in a tally and getting his pound back from the trolly all make him click his heals with joy. This is a wide-eyed offering that is self-effacing and quite delightful to witness. 
The Brighton-based performance company Flying Eye focuses on delivering pieces that explore real and heartfelt human issues, which resonate with the audience beyond the final bow. In this fashion, Cutting the Cord follows Sachi Kimura as she makes the life-altering journey from Tokyo to London. 
Rugged up in his duffle coat, Danny is keen to share that “I done a show all about travel and places” whilst pointing to his green felt-tipped map of Britain. From the word ‘go,’ you’ll want him to be as funny as he is disarmingly endearing. Although he may be offended at the comparison to Paddington Bear, the appeal and wish to protect him is there. Thankfully Danny’s is a presentation which, every now and again, passes you a little pearl of wit.
