Marjolein Robertson : Thank God Fish Don't Have Hands, Stand 2, Edinburgh Festival Fringe

 What's this show about?  Robertson is good at telling us what it's not, but doesn't reveal the real point until near the end.  Along the way she chats to the audience, tells of her childhood on Shetland and student life at uni, the year of the men and the best and worst of lockdown, and a diagnosis that helped her make sense of her world.  Several good visual gags, plenty of decent punchlines, and a flirtatious energy drive the show along.  And yes, the show title does get to make sense, sort of.  Far from a waste of an hour of your time.


Marjolein Robertson : Thank God Fish Don't Have Hands is on at 16:00 in Stand 2 until the 28th.
