Featuring Isy Suttie, Steve Pretty, ATF?, Pistol & Jack and Gareth Richards

Isy Suttie

Dobby Peep Show not Harry Potter, silly) brings us Pearl and Dave, another heartwarming multi-character tale.
Pleasance Courtyard, 556 6550, 6-29 Aug (not 15), 5pm, £10–£11.50 (£9–£10.50). Previews until 5 Aug, £5.

Steve Pretty

With his Perfect Mixtape, Pretty recalls the tunes played at his own wake in 2005 (there’s a story there) and wonders what music moves you.
Underbelly, 0844 545 8252, 6–28 Aug (not 12), 1.25pm, £9–£9.50 (£8–£8.50). Previews 4 & 5 Aug, £6.

Prepare to be Tuned

The next big thing in Aussie musical comedy (it’s Anyone for Tennis? if you need to know) Doody and Jase get down and dirty as you Prepare to Be Tuned. Is that rude?

Pistol & Jack

An American pop princess and a Cockney rock god mash it up good and proper with Smash. Glam. Sex. Music. Which certainly paints a picture.
Assembly George Square, 623 3030, 6–28 Aug (not 16, 23), 9.20pm, £10–£12 (£8–£10). Previews until 5 Aug, £8 (£6).

Gareth Richards

The Best Newcomer nominee from last year has a message for us: It’s Not the End of the World. Which is nice.
