As seen on BBC Wales, S4C, supporting Elis James on tour and performing slightly less than an hour of stand-up at the Fringe every year since 2015. Steffan returns to Edinburgh to work through his latest identity crisis with an hour of excellent comedy about sexuality, pop culture and, of course, all the best things about Wales. Theatre Our daily Edinburgh Festivals feature is brought to you in partnership with MSR Architecture & Design, Edinburgh — Where Vision Meets Masterpiece. Find out more at / Parody of the Rings Venue 24, Other Yin at Gilded Balloon Patter House, 1.30pm, until August 25 At the local cinema, all hell breaks loose when the ushers misplace the DVDs of The Lord of the Rings trilogy – every single copy! With only the soundtracks left in hand, the team of hapless ushers must somehow create an entire three-film saga in front of a live audience. Get ready for an uproarious show of comedy, chaos, and utter nonsense, as they attempt to recreate the epic tale of hobbits, elves, and orcs – without any visuals, any planning, or any clue what they're doing. Cabaret and Variety Hidden Powers Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Venue 39, Space 2 at theSpace on the Mile, 3.20pm, until August 23 For Edinburgh Fringe 2025, Angus Baskerville is back after last year's hugely successful, 5-star reviewed, award-winning debut at theSpace on the Mile. His all-new show Hidden Powers is a fascinating, continuing exploration of the connection between the power of the mind – certainly of Angus' mind – as well as his own, very personal, story of growing up with (Angus' words) neurodivergent superpowers. Informative and entertaining, poignant but funny. You will never leave a Baskerville show without having had both your mind blown, and an appreciation of growing up autistic advanced. Film Festival Sanatorium Various venues, various times, August 19 & 20 The clientele of a rundown Soviet-era health resort seek for love, health and happiness in war-torn Ukraine where air raid sirens and plumes of smoke from nearby Russian bombing raids disturb their much sought-after peace. This is a thoughtful, humane documentary that offers a unique perspective on the current situation in Ukraine. Unclassified: 15+ Theatre The Essence of Audrey Venue 33, Cellar at Pleasance Courtyard, 11.15am, until August 25 (not 19) Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Celebrate the true-life story of one of the world's most beloved icons, Audrey Hepburn.

Bring your morning coffee and croissant and enjoy Breakfast at Audrey's, as her remarkable journey is magically brought to life in this illuminating, funny and poignant homage to one of Hollywood's greats. Music Out of the Blue Venue 8, Gordon Aikman Theatre at Assembly George Square, 12.10pm, until August 25 Following their fan-favourite run at the Fringe last year, OOTB are back again for their 21st year with tighter harmonies, crazier choreography and enough high notes to reach the stratosphere! Out of the Blue is an internationally acclaimed a cappella group from the University of Oxford and, after jet-setting across the world earlier this year, the group is excited to return to their home turf to showcase new talent and new songs. Don't miss your chance to see these singers in action for an hour of incredible music with something for everyone! Dance and Physical Theatre HAMLET by New York Circus Project Venue 139, Central at Assembly Roxy, 7pm, until August 24 Experience Shakespeare like never before in NYCP's critically acclaimed debut production: a contemporary acrobatic spectacle weaving madness and passion into every heart-stopping moment. The ghost of Hamlet's father soars high above the young prince, Ophelia contorts in a display of agonized devotion and Hamlet himself is engulfed by madness, flipping through a tumultuous psychological landscape. This bold reimagining of the classic tragedy showcases delirium, heartbreak and betrayal through world-class acrobatics, making literature's most famous tragedy accessible, engaging and awe-inspiring for all audiences.

These hi-tech appliances lack fridge benefits
Sue Casiglia of North Ryde has noted a number of news stories on 'smart' fridges: 'They can do anything, it seems, including letting you know when you are low on a certain product. And all it takes is a knock on the glass front, and it magically illuminates the internal light so you can see what you've got in there. Beware of any future 'smart' additions that will warn you against eating something because of its calorie count. It ought to be 'smart' enough to know that we don't want to hear anything like that!' 'As a student who could only afford a black and white TV (C8), I nevertheless enjoyed watching those celebrated snooker geniuses on Pot Black (including Joe and Fred Davis),' recalls Ian Glendon of Ashmore (Qld). 'On one occasion, commentator 'Whispering' Ted Lowe, in typical hushed tones said, 'for those of you who are watching in black and white, the pink is next to the green'.' 'It was great to hear about DCE and SBW in the SMH today,' says Jim Pollitt (aka JBP) of Wahroonga. 'I was like LOL.' 'Radio XLFM in Cooma is advertising in the trade press for an announcer,' notes Peter Riley of Penrith. 'One of the requirements for the job is 'excitable' personality which Webster's D ictionary defines as 'volatile, anxious, unstable and hyperactive'. Rock on!' 'Lan-Choo tea rewards (C8) are not to be sniffed at,' declares Joy Everett of Valla Beach. 'I still use a box grater redeemed in 1979. Prestige brand, stainless steel, made in Belgium. Six types of grating in one. Fabulous quality, still sharp. But it took about 144 packet tops collected by my mother and me.' 'Plainly, the perps stealing 'Angus' street signs (C8) are fans of AC/DC,' asserts Dave Horsfall of North Gosford. Dorothy Gliksman of Cedar Brush Creek has more on the door-to-door sisterhood (C8): 'My mother must've been the first woman to go from door-to-door in what was the early 1950s, to sell frocks to women. The areas she covered were Botany, Mascot and nearby areas. She came from war-torn Europe, learned to drive, spoke a little English, and with those skills, plus a huge amount of self-confidence, managed to gain the trust of these women and over the years, built up her reputation to go on and open her own fashion boutique. Her ingenuity and hard work rubbed off on her children.'
