Edinburgh Festival Day 20: Reviews: Everything you wanted to know about Northern Ireland but were too terrorised to ask

Belfast's Hole In The Wall theatre company prides itself on leaving no sacred cows unslaughtered. Its sketches and stand-up routines poke merciless fun at all parties involved in Ulster's problems. Beside the Irish jokes, the repartee includes a Blind Date take-off - Bishop Casey competing with David Mellor and Paddy Ashdown for the attentions of Fergie - and a Sportsnight-style running commentary on a production of Macbeth (the archetypal Troubles play). The company knows how to programme its set to supports its weaker material; they close each routine on a high note, notably a sketch with the West Midlands Serious Crime Squad glee club singing 'If You're Irish, Come Into The Courtroom'. Not surprisingly, many in their homeland dislike them; many more, however, applaud their irreverence and nerve.
