Edinburgh Evening News‘ Liam Rudden has picked Howie the Rookie as his Hot Ticket for this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe!

If you see one play in August, make it this one. A masterclass in storytelling from Tom Vaughan-Lawlor (soon to be seen as Nidge in the award-winning Irish TV drama Love Hate on Channel 5), Howie the Rookie is laugh-out-loud funny, shocking and heartbreaking in equal measure. Visceral, violent and vulnerable, this one-man tour de force from Vaughan-Lawlor is sure to sell-out. Book now.

Assembly Hall, The Mound, 1-25 August, 12.40pm
