Fringe review: AIDAN SADLER - MELODY, Weird Wood - Edinburgh Festival Fringe
Join award-winning queer cabaret icon Aidan Sadler as they take you on a journey to the end of the world! Nothing is safe from ridicule so be led on an exploration of normalising the apocalypse, the price of a meal deal, and having a quick visit from your dead nan. Featuring electrifying hits that you'll be humming to armageddon.
Sadler performs their own songs, a mildly 80s sound accompanies stories and observations of how we are heading for the end but to be honest, if we've got to go this way, we don't mind. It's a witty, original kind of humour that entertains completely.
This is an adults only cabaret performance but it's not really offensive, more a hearty observational piece with a bit of bad language in it. It's funny, has great vocals and an inclusive atmosphere; an ideal scenario for all at the Fringe.
If the end is nigh, we want Sadler in charge of the exit!
**** Four stars
