Karen Dunbar: Gilded Balloon Teviot, Edinburgh, 2008
One of Scotland’s favourite comedians, I saw Karen Dunbar three consecutive years in a row at the Edinburgh Fringe from 2006 to 2008. She played to packed houses using her vivacious energy, flaring her nostrils and widening her eyes to enhance punchlines and deliver genuinely funny stories of Scottish life. The subjects for her material over the three shows were wide and varied from Disneyland to dogs eating toffee and using her musical edge to enhance the shows. The audiences loved her style of no-holds barred, hard-faced wit hence her return year after year.
