GOT A NICE REVIEW FROM THREE WEEKS MAGAZINE
Two American Comedians Lose Their Shirts At The Edinburgh Free Fringe
Free doesn't always guarantee quality, but this particular show is well worth a visit. The main act, Liam McEneaney, is an experienced comic cast in a similar mould to Kevin Smith: American, geeky and very funny. The material is simple, focusing mostly on his childhood, his relationships and therapy with 'Death of a Salesman', but his take and delivery are exquisite. The show suffers from 'Edinburgh Problems' - an awkward room half full of noontime stragglers - even so, the show is seriously funny. Not quite a celebrity yet, but if he gets the audiences I can't wait to see his name in lights - if Brendon Burns or Glen Wool are too much for you give Liam and his chums a try.
Laughing Horse @ Meadow Bar, 31 Jul - 25 Aug (not 23), 12.05pm (1.05pm), fpp 106.
tw rating 4/5

And more important (to me, if no one else), here's a person who took a bus to check out the Fringe, and she liked the show (you have to scroll down a bit).
