Charlie Chuck returns to the Fringe after four years with a tour-de-farce of music, magic and mayhem. And a four-day special show in the middle of his run, just to confuse reviewers who don’t pay attention. Same title. Different show.

For most of the Fringe run, Charlie is going to play with the Uncle Peter Band, perform magic tricks Tommy Cooper would not have dared, reminisce about Reeves & Mortimer, act extracts from Doctor Faustus nd possibly talk seriously about life, the universe and anything - although, fair enough, there will probably still be quite a lot of randomly hitting inanimate and sometimes animate objects with his plank of wood.

But, for four days in the middle – 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th August - it’s a different show - the return of The Family Chuck, last seen at the Fringe in 2002’s Charlie Chuck Is Scrooge. This time, there’s a medieval flavour, aerobics lessons, horoscope readings and a gameshow not unreasonably called Falling Donkeys. And there might be some unexpected guests.
