That's Entertainment

Another Fringe/ Comedy Festival review for you.

Michael McIntyre

Tremendous. For a very proper-spoken, very English man (and I don't mean that in a derogatory manner whatsover) he does a hilariously funny Scottish accent. He stayed on stage for 15mins extra to tell "one more story."

Highlights included:

The history of the kilt
No juice - his son, the Nazi three year old
Old socks and his father-in-law
An effeminate ballet dancer
Trams, Scottish breakfast and terrorists in Edinburgh.

I can't remember laughing that much. Great stuff. If you can get along to see him, he's well worth a look.

"Malc is an expert on Scottish nationalism. [He] knows what he's talking about - the thinking man's SNP voter." politics.co.uk

"A veritable all rounder with a strong mix of politics, humour, sport and always something different coming out from his now look website. Distinctly, commendably and refreshingly non-partisan." SNP Tactical Voting

"Malc [has] got gradually Greener as time has passed, the intrinsic merit of his writing, especially the posts backed up with real quality research." James at Two Doctors

"We can't do without your voice of reason!" Caron's Musings (I think that was somewhat in jest),

"When [he does] say something it's usually interesting and worth reading or debating." Ideas of Civilisation

"Nice to see some of his research work coming into his posts, and his blog also seems a bit more personal than last year, which only serves to enhance the quality." Holyrood Patter

"[Malc] isn't scared of the Tartan Tory tag to be fair, not that he'll thank me publicly for saying it." SNP Tactical Voting (He's wrong - I am scared of it).
