Edinburgh Festival: Fringe round-up: Jimeoin and Bob's Cooking Show
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Take a potato, an orange squeezer and an elasticated armband, and what have you got? Another of Jimeoin and Bob's bizarre Hollywood impressions is what. Their Cooking Show, as seen originally on Jimeoin's Australian TV show, is one of the dafter offerings on this year's Fringe, a riotous whirlwind of inventive props and ridiculous improvisation. Imagine Get Stuffed with laughs, and, of course, no recipes, with Jimeoin and Bob hamming it up as the Penn and Teller of cuisine. Imagine two overgrown kids batting popcorn into the audience with tennis rackets while a third sings "The Homes of Donegal", or a leering bloke eyeing up a potato in underpants with the comment "great arse". It gives a whole new meaning to spud-u-like.
