The city of Edinburgh may be in the midst of holding their annual Fringe Festival, but not to be outdone, Exeter were able to offer its own mini-fringe to local residents in the form of four boys performing their one-man shows in the Hourglass pub over six evenings last week. The title ‘Here Come The Boys’ may suggest that the participants would be removing their clothes, but I can report that no baring of flesh occurred. Sorry Ladies. However, the audience were instead treated to an interesting and eclectic evening of performances.
A week of shows by four of Exeter theatre's brightest young males, in the only place they could think of doing it: a pub.
All four shows on each night, except where listed.
