FUCCBOIS: LIVE IN CONCERT ― brilliant and incorrigibly charming
FUCCBOIS: LIVE IN CONCERT is an Aussie production, with the book, music and lyrics by Bridie Connell and directed by Richard Carroll. It centres on the final leg of the farewell tour from four-piece boyband Fuccbois. We’re in the large Studio 2 at Assembly George Square, and it feels appropriately like a concert. The four performers introduce themselves as Brendan, Brendon, Tyler and also Brendan, and each have a distinct look and vapidness as befits a band put together on talent show ‘Sex Factor.’

Chris Grace: 88% ― comedic lightness and theatrical sensibility
Chris Grace’s previous show, Sardines (‘a play about death’) is truly one of the most impressive pieces of solo theatre I think I’ve ever seen, and as such I am contractually obliged to see everything he does. His latest show, ‘88%,’ takes on whether you can get on with people you disagree with, starting with a friend’s casual racism as they walk through Stockholm.

Mothman: A Romance Musical ― breathlessly silly and fun
Mothman: A Romance Musical (a 2026 Fringe Fund recipient) is the brainchild of comedians Alex Franklin and Nikola McMurtrie, and follows three guileless teens in 1943 as they hunt for the mysterious Mothman, a folk legend who infamously appears just before someone dies. Our trio explore the woodland, with Anna (Alex Franklin) realising quickly that her celibate relationship with her boyfriend (Alex Prescot, also playing a French mole) of two years might not be as substantial as she had hoped, and contending with Natalie (Nikola McMurtrie) having him in her sights.
