Blake Friedmann clients Lizzie Bates and Anna Emerson have taken solo shows to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where they have been earning glowing reviews.

Anna's show, 'An Evening with Patti DuPont', is described as 'a parody of the fawning biopic or celebrity documentary which is wholly on point; her attention to detail is exquisitely ludicrous, and just when anecdotes about barbiturates and an accidental marriage threaten to reach a crescendo of ridiculousness, it’s all reined back in.' **** The List)
St Johns, Space 2, until 24 Aug (not 12), 8.45pm, free.

Lizzie, in 'Reprobates', 'is excellent at comically portraying very posh English women. Imagine Penelope Keith after a small line of speed and a hamper full of props.' (Chortle)

'She bristles with an energy that never lets up, creating a sense of intimacy and camaraderie with her audience, making them an integral part of her show.' **** (Three Weeks)
Pleasance Courtyard, until 25 Aug, 3pm, £9–10 (£8–9).
