Comedian Rosie Wilby used to be a musician back in the glory days of Brit Pop and this show at the Copa Upstairs was a trip down memory lane using material from her old reviews, letters and her ‘90s magazine column Rosie’s Pop Diary. It follows Rosie’s life as a musician and her own personal life journey. In case this sounds indulgent or a bit potty I must immediately say it is not — it is a funny, occasionally philosophical, reflection of an interesting phase of an interesting woman’s life.

Her story is engagingly interleaved with lots of great songs from her former repertoire. Accompanying herself on the guitar, Wilby has a great voice (she tells us that her teacher said it was a cross between Eartha Kitt and Whitney Houston — hopefully because that was the only two singers he knew the names of!) she actually sounded rather like Barbra Streisand to me, with super rich tones and controlled power.Good music, good comedy and a feelgood show — a winning combination.

Morgan and West: The Crime Solving Magicians are a rollicking good act too.These two jolly performers are time-travelling Victorian conjurors who have discovered that their nemesis plans to kill them at some point during the Oxfringe Festival. To prevent this they must become detectives — and they draw on the audience to help them in their mission to find the killer before they themselves are done in. This is accomplished by using some very clever magical tricks with lots of audience involvement.

Some of their tricks were simply brilliant. I was not alone in my astonishment as to how they achieved such sleights of hand in the bijou Lee Simpkins Theatre at Lady Margaret Hall — we were all stumped. With terrific characters, delightful set and great helpings of good natured comedy, these guys have come up with something very original and entertainingly baffling.
