Comedy Review: Kieran Boyd – Crashing the Party, Just the Tonic at Marlin's Wynd (Venue 296), Edinburgh
***
Notorious in the industry for their hard-living, the trio, consisting of rabble-rouser Naz Osmanoglu, aka The Turk, and stern enforcer Mark Cooper-Jones, aka The Teacher, with amiable buffer Boyd wedged between them, were Fringe favourites and scaled the heights of shooting a Channel 4 sitcom pilot.
There's been plenty of water under the bridge since then.
But as Boyd notes, he's technically still banned from his subterranean venue due to previous bad behaviour.

Hide AdBut Boyd largely resists recrimination towards his competitive, more in-the-moment friends and is wryly funny on their implosion and fade away. From gay saunas to storming festivals, it's a cautionary tale wrapped in a wild ride.
