From British Transport Police Officer to coach driver, one-man sketch comic Fraser Millward’s show is fast-paced, energetic and packed with personality. He takes a rather serious approach to his comedy through his choice of characters and the way he presents them. This wasn’t fully realised until he ushered everyone outside to board his coach, only to find that it had “disappeared”; naturally, he started running down the street screaming at oblivious passers-by, asking if they had seen it – his audience stood watching, falling over themselves with laughter. It’s hard to believe that such a gem of a comedy show can be absolutely free, yet such is the wonder of the Fringe Festival.
The Voodoo Rooms, 6 – 27 Aug (not 15), 6.20pm (7.15pm), free, fpp78.
