‘Pick of the Fringe’ Rosie Wilkinson and BBC Award Winner Helen O’Brien rustle up an organic, gluten-free feast of freshly slaughtered comedy sketches. A palette cleanser of TV chefs, followed by a distorted portion of teenage angst and a casserole of teachers.

Domestic Goddi - don’t feel guilty for not grinding your own flour. Warning: may contain nuts.

The funniest show you'll see this year... that's about nude models... probably. Unless there's another show about nude models on. We don't know, we haven't seen the brochure yet. So, this may or may not be really innovative comedy, but it'll definitely be in or around the funniest show you'll see this year about nude models... maybe.

New musical comedy from the creators of The Translucent Frogs of Quuup (Guardian Best Musical 2004). A remote rock off Scotland. A windswept idyll. Or is it a giant turtle, sleeping? Morag MacMacMacMac thinks so, but she's nuts. Caught between Calvinist Ministers, wild Haggis and draconian Health and Safety regulations, will she ever find a husband?
