Best Of The Edinburgh Fest

"... their acts all need some polishing."

This performance showcases three promising comedians plucked from Edinburgh Fringe Festival, but their acts all need some polishing.

Danny O'Brien is a baby-faced, energetic performer from Ireland who tells tales of his mishaps with women, does a questionable Australian accent and reflects on the strong Catholicism of his country.  John Hastings is the strongest performer of the three, a stern looking Canadian with a scary glare. He is quick-witted, loud and has the crowd in stitches with his musings about punctuality and ex-girlfriends. Mancunian Justin Moorhouse is like that funny uncle we all have, and while he has some great, quirky characters incorporated into his act, some stories fizzle out instead of excite.
