Potty The Plant

I don't usually try to see shows again if they come back to the fringe because there is so much to see, and I want to see as much as I can!

However, when some friends of mine really wanted to see "Potty The Plant", I was happy to go see it again. And I am so glad I did because it was even better than last year!

The jokes were tightened, the additions made the show better, and the new casting was phenomenal. Ash K-B, in particular, is a star in the making. That voice, that charisma, that talent! Their performance of Dr. Acula blew the auditorium away! I'd say go to this show based on their performance alone.

That being said, the whole cast is a powerhouse. Every single one of them have fantastic voices, top-tier comedy chops, and the choreography, though simple, is done with masterful precision!

This may look like a kids show from the poster, but it's filled with plenty of sex jokes and some elements of horror, too!

It follows Potty the Plant and all the gang at Little Boo Boos General Hospital as they try to uncover the mystery of the missing kids, all disappearing on Dr Acula's blood test day.

A massive congratulations to Bayden Jack Burns for not only spending the show trapped in a box puppeteering Potty, but for also hilariously covering for a sound cue failure in the middle of a song. The audience were in stitches of laughter whilst the technical side was getting back on track! It shows the utmost professionalism of an actor to be able to carry on when things go wrong.

Seriously, everyone, you need to go Gilded Balloon Appleton Tower and see this show! I went, I laughed, I applauded, and I bought a pin badge and a magnet on the way out!

I have no doubt in my mind about awarding "Potty the Plant" a Fantastic Fringe Award!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Queen is Mad

I'll be honest and say before coming to see "The Queen is Mad", playing at Zoo Southside, I had never even heard of Joanna of ...
