TOM BINNS AS IVAN BRACKENBURY (UK) - Extended Set - SATURDAY, 9TH JUNE 2012
“If laughter is the best medicine, Ivan Brackenbury should be a real hospital radio DJ. Ivan's Hospital broadcast, Disease Hour, is the most deliciously enjoyable I've spent on the Fringe. His poorly judged dedications, like everything else in this chock-full show, come thick, fast and funny. And that pregnant pause, as we wait to hear which song Ivan selects for which ailment, gets more tantalising every time - THE GUARDIAN”
“I'll let you go to the show and find out which patients and what ailments elicit the playing of Solid as a Rock, Secret Smile and the rather excellent Mary McGregor's hit Torn Between Two Lovers and I am sure Joan Arkwright's gynecological problem is all the better for Ivan's thoughtful record choice. I laughed so much I nearly suffered the same thing. Special in every sense of the word. Wonderful, pitch-perfectly performed silliness from which you emerge still giggling - THE SCOTMAN”
“For simple laugh-'til you ache humour, Ivan Brackenbury is the hit of the Fringe - THE EVENING STANDARD”
“The whole room was in hysterics from the word go, endorphin-filled laughter indeed proving the best medicine. Brackenbury is absolutely utterly hilarious - I can't recommend this enough. Go see it - THE AGE”

TOM BINNS AS IAN D. MONTFORD (UK) - Extended Set - SATURDAY, 9TH JUNE 2012
“Ian D Montfort, a gloriously deadpan pseudo-psychic. His show begins with laughable attempts to work the audience and then he starts unleashing faintly inexplicable clairvoyant revelations, leaving most of the room gasping with incredulity. So he can spoof it, and really 'do it' - TELEGRAPH”
“Binns makes a triumphant return as the Sunderland psychic Ian D Montfort, mixing eerily good cold-reading skills with a joyful debunking of the genre - INDEPENDENT”
“The character remains hilarious even as the tricks become remarkable. This is two shows for the price of one: pin-sharp character comedy and metaphysical magic to boot - GUARDIAN”
Last year, Time Out described IAN D. MONTFORT as "the monster hit" of the Edinburgh Fringe. He is a Spirit Medium who channels famous dead people, revealing things about the audience he could not possibly know. It's an incredible fusion of mind reading and character comedy.
