Catherine: On loan to goldenanorak for the Fringe. Strengths: extreme vocabulary, scalpel tongue. Flaws: poor team player, emotionally detached. Likes: own company (particularly at the cinema on weekday afternoons); the stark lines of a Hawksmoor church. Dislikes: group hugs; ‘Here Come The Girls’ (all versions)
Christopher: Is the youngest stand-up in the goldenanorak team - he is also the heaviest. For him - comedy is truth. When he is on stage nothing must get in the way of truth other than chocolate.
Jude: Is full of glee to be joining goldenanorak for their first fabulous Edinburgh show and is sure everyone will have a delightful time. Although relatively new to comedy, her face has always been laughable and she often gets cast as the fool in serious productions. Her goal for the festival is to have lots of fun. And to try not to offend anyone. Much
Victoria: Is the brownest member of goldenanorak - though not because she's nervous about her first Edinburgh. Lack of experience will only highlight Vic's raw talent, sexiness and ability to win every time at Jenga, as she's keen to remind the others.

You'll never look at T-shirts, supermarket checkouts or cats' arses in the same way again. If you're the kind of person who examines cats' arses in detail to begin with, then you'll enjoy this show. If you're not, you'll still enjoy this show, regardless of your relationship towards feline buttholes.

This show is as amusing as it is unusual (subject matter was very varied!). A good mix of different styles that work well together. Fantastic writing twinned with natural comedic delivery kept me giggling all the way through, even in the pauses between sketches! Go see!!

Genuinely clever comedy - supermarket sketch was genius. And a pleasure to see routines devoid of up itself pretence and cheap jibes at others' expense (except for Coldplay, who probably deserve everything they get).

Rockin' preview at The Lukin last night!
Great mix of personalities with perceptive, playful standup and effortlessly bizarre sketches.
One criticism of the show, though:
Muuuuuch too short.

Diverse material that hangs together very well - I defy anyone to be bored! Engaging stand-up & a couple of sketches that deserve to be filmed and become YouTube hits immediately. Surely we should be paying to watch this?

Golden Anorak are the new Fantastic Four - they'll make you SNAP your knicker elastic, CACKLE like a demented crone and POP your funny bone. 4 different stand up styles, mixed in with a diverse range of comedy sketches; something to suit everyone. Just the thing to kick off a great night. Enjoy.

I saw them at the Mercat Bar and i loved it.
4 styles to hit all the sweet spots out there.
Great acting, kooky stand-up and hilarious sketches.
I'd pay to see the show again next Fringe.

*****Star GD Edinburgh Festival Recommendation
- Three Minx an' a Madman make Merry at the Mercat!
"A delightful mix of stand up and sketch based humour which relies on talent rather than bad language to get belly laughs. Wickedly funny mixture of the surreal and the sublime that is sure to be a major hit of the PBH Free Fringe 2009!" - The GD
