“Bigger, Brighter and Far more Boyish!“
Debuting at the 2025 Fringe Festival but somewhat hidden away in the basement of St Augustine’s on George IV Bridge the show became the sleeper hit of the Fringe now 3 of the 4 boys, Scott Coltman, Chris McLeish and Mark MacKinnon return with a new show for the 2026 Fringe that’s truly bigger brighter and far more boyish than ever before.
Taking up residence in the Grand Ballroom at Assembly Rooms on George Street for four performances only (only two left on the 20th and 21st August) the boys have new mix of songs drawn from Musical Theatre, Pop and Film, songs originally performed by power house divas!, (Fitting as they share the space with their sister show, Divas from stage to screen) which are now given a masculine twist and performed in impeccable style by the guys.
This year there joined by a stellar 4 piece on stage band under the musical directorship of Fraser Hume and even a surprise guest for a rip roaring hour of cabaret fun with comical asides a plenty, audience participation balanced against beautiful and emotional solo moments this a show that’s pitched perfectly in this late evening slot. From Judy Garland to Wicked via Joni Mitchell there really is something for everyone in this glorious Fringe Cabaret.
This is the perfect finale after a busy day on the Festival Circuit it’s charming, funny and brilliantly performed and delivers real bang for your buck! All three guys make it seem effortless and perform with great warmth and skill which makes this a show that’s a real leader in its category a truth comedy joy du veer at this year’s festival so be sure to check it out!
