The Edinburgh Fringe is over and plays like Fleabag at the Soho Theatre confirm my theory for not having yet made it up there: the good stuff tends to come to London.

I know, I know I should go and I will but until I can work up to it, I can sit back and enjoy the cream of the crop, the award winning shows from the comfort of a theatre a short bus ride from home.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge's self-penned and performed show picked up a Fringe First accolade and best solo performer and is now aiming to entertain the London theatre crowd for two and half weeks at the Soho Theatre.

Waller-Bridge plays Fleabag who isn't sex obsessed (she is) and isn't fucking up her life (she is). Her best friend has accidentally killed herself, her boyfriend has left her - clearing out the fridge on the way out - and she can't pay the rent on her cafe.

This is a shamelessly frank and modern tale that is laugh out-loud funny and at times surreal and random in the way life can be. There is also a tinge of sadness to it, the sadness of a loss and a lost a soul.

Brilliantly performed Waller-Bridge her Fleabag is a lovely combination of sharp wit and keen observation with hapless choices and a sometimes insensitive way with words.

Well worth an hour at the theatre the bonus is it starts at 7pm. Catch it while you can it runs at the Soho Theatre until Sep 22.
