Can’t Stop Talking
By Gyles Brandreth

Review By Louise – Bookmarks and Stages

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Gyles Brandreth really Can’t Stop Talking and it should be on your list for what to see at the Gordon Aikman Theatre at George Square Gardens. After my review is a link to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival website page for this show.

Thanks to Gyles Brandreth who gave me permission to take this photo for my blog.

Naturally, the first thing that comes to mind is, wondering which jumper Gyles Brandreth will be wearing. He has several (and even that is an understatement).
He has excellent delivery as he regales many tales with much energy, humour and gusto, on many subjects, including his life and a world record he set in talking non-stop at an event some time ago, tv, the people he’s met, family, tv work and so much more…

It is a highly entertaining, and interesting show with a couple of audience participation parts injected into it; one of which he chooses 1 member of the audience to be on stage with him (in this case, it was me and I can say it’s good natured fun) and a great experience, if not a surreal experience when that’s not your everyday life, but something I’d say to go along with and enjoy it.

There are entire audience participation opportunities, where you get to select a topic from a menu as well as take part in a surprise ending.
The amount of topics there are and not all are covered in one show, means that if you went more than once, you will hear something different each time. 
There is plenty of humour to be had and I am sure he could talk for more than an hour quite happily, except there’s a show after him wanting the venue, but also audiences would probably like to listen to him for longer. I certainly would and the audience I was in, probably would have too. This show has a good vibe to it.

Real name is Louise. Books and Theatres are passions of mine, as is supporting people in any way I can. Since starting my blog in 2019 I’ve reviewed books and theatre. Publishers, authors, blog tour organisers kindly entrust me with books, in-exchange of an honest review. I’ve been invited to and attend book events and write them up and review. I review theatre - plays, musicals, stand up comedy. I’ve been invited to review plays and comedians. I also do interviews/Q&As, primarily with authors and actors. I love connecting with the reading, writing, publishing, acting communities. On my blog, I also have a Contact Me, if you’d like anything reviewed etc. I generally get back to people within 48hrs. I hope you enjoy my blog as I take you through my book and theatre reviews as well as book events and festivals as I attend them.
