Swearing's allowed, talent's compulsory and Mary Whitehouse will be spinning in her grave...catch the 2008 rising stars of BBC Comedy Shuffle and their own C4 comedy show - now. **** Three Weeks

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.

Men. You need them. You want them. You may even be one. Find out as Adam Riches showcases a crotch-full of maleness and encourages you to mark your territory and smell his musk!

"Classic character comedy." **** Chortle

"Worth getting your hands on a copy!" **** The List

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?

'The funniest, nuttiest show on the fringe.' Telegraph

This show has it all: car crashes, exotic locations and the constant threat of death - like the Bourne Trilogy, but with Cliff Richard instead of the CIA. Physical, verbal and mental comedy combine in this hilarious new show about what happens when you meet - and eat - your heroes

A tuneful take on all the things that really matter: national quiz shows, severed heads and large-print Catherine Cookson novels. Witty, dark and clever - these ladies know how to pluck.

The show that leaves you ready to pull tonight is back! Following 2007's total sellout Deborah returns, revealing everything you ever needed to know about the secrets of being being sexy!
