This Review is from August 2025

In a Festival Fringe full of alternative acts and boundary pushing comedy, it’s nice, occasionally, to enjoy a little piece of mainstream entertainment. Full of Ham is an original, one-person, stand-up, sketch, character comedy, ventriloquist, variety show. An hour that is fast paced, slick and TV ready.

Max Fulham’s approach to ventriloquism is distinctive. On stage it’s not just the puppets that talk, but any inanimate object can suddenly spring to life, full of attitude and energy. This is the story of an inner monologue going sentient, it’s a brilliant idea.

Max has delivered a barnstorming Edinburgh debut, and I’m very much looking forward to seeing what he does next.
