Sipping on some of Lidl's finest own-brand Malibu, Becky Brunning presents a feelgood show about love and family. Bloom is split chiefly into two sections, one that focuses on her relationship with her folks growing up, and the second that looks to the future and considers the complications of starting out on a life in the big bad world.

Material on her father is especially strong. Portraying him as a 'right-wing hazard' of a man, Brunning humorously conveys his attempts to navigate the modern world with its new attitudes and terminologies, and the blurred lines between chivalry and sexist egoism. Her fondness for the man is laid out explicitly though, through flashbacks to him raising the family as a single man. Even when things get serious, Brunning doesn't shy away from the darkly comedic elements.

Brunning is also recently married, with much hilarity ensuing as she recalls coming out to the extended family through a wedding invitation, and documents the couples attempts to find a suitable sperm donor. There are laughs and acute observations throughout, and Brunning is an endearing presence who makes sitting in an impossibly hot and crammed box on the Cowgate an enjoyable, wholesome occasion.

Laughing Horse @ The Lock Up, until 25 Aug (not 19), 3pm, donations at the venue.
