Whose Line Is It Anyway? - Live at the Fringe (****4 Star)


A great tv show returns to the Fringe after a sell out run in 2017. The show just as we probably all remember is hosted by Clive Anderson and many legends of improv comedy work out for an hour at full pace.

The show will feature Marcus Brigstocke and Phill Jupitus, alongside original improv legends, as part of its Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2019 line-up. Accompanied on the piano by multi-instrumentalist Kirsty Newton

It tends to split into quick fire games of 2 (eg every answer must be a question ) or 4 (eg guests at a dinner party) but the best part was the 2 songs made up on the spot about the audience member brought on stage and the big finale about the maths teacher from Forfar who wanted to go to space.

Thursday night’s line-up included Tony Slatterly, known to wider audiences from Casualty and Coronation Street. Steven Frost, Ruth Bratt and Sally Hodgkiss.

Whose Line is it anyway Live at the Fringe will change daily – no two shows will be the same can be fully promised. The show will be at the McEwan Hall every night until 26th at 8pm.

It’s not a predictable format which means you don’t know what you are going to see and shouldn't be disappointed.
