Idiots of Ants

At least the second show this Fringe to feature a drummer being fired via the medium of his band’s songwriting, this latest über-hi-tech offering from the IoA is a patchy affair that works beautifully in places (the sound effects sketch; the teeth-brushing scene) but is let down by an array of poor choices. Ultimately, their ambition to fully stretch themselves through technology is threatening to dilute their impact.

Pleasance Courtyard, 556 6550, until 30 Aug, 8.25pm, £10–£11 (£8.50–£9.50).
