Puppet Grinder Cabaret
Puppet Grinder/Little Angel Theatre
Even though the Fringe's unofficial motto seems to be 'anything goes!', I never expected to see a strip-dancing puppet with breasts that have a tendency to fall off, at the festival, or in my life. But the Puppet Grinder Cabaret, hosted by the northern, non-puppet, cheeky chappy that is Dave Gibson, have scoured Edinburgh for the more 'adult' puppet acts, which included on this particular night ('where Cheryl tapped the drum'; they name all their nights) a delightfully foul-mouthed history of Britain, a frog choking to death while swallowing a duster and the disgustingly horrific aforementioned stripper, Trixi. If you'd like see what you could have done when you had your hand up Sooty's bum, this is the kind of show you might like.
Assembly @ Georges Street, 6 - 31 Aug (not 17 or 24), 8.35pm (9.35pm), prices vary, fpp88.
