Description
1990. Aged 19, Danny stands at the crossroads of football violence and house music. Better Days is a one-man show that takes you on a house music journey, combining poetic storytelling with the best music from the time. If you were there, you'll enjoy a nostalgic celebration of a scene that so many people still hold dear, but with plenty of twists and turns along the way. If you weren't, you'll get a visceral sense of how it felt to come of age in the best era ever!Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

Excellent one man show! While I wasn't as "active" as the main character I was there at the time and the nostalgia created was very recognisable. Great performance, great music and great memories!

Really good show. Actor was brill. "Snapshots" of club music was great at tying the story together. Would go again and would recommend.

This is a real hidden gem of the Fringe. We've seen 28 plays this year and this is comfortably in the top 10. The staging and production are excellent, using music to tie the narrative but in no way abusing nostalgia or relying too heavily on musical cues.
The script is tight and the plot compelling and sincere.
Finish that with an absolutely stellar performance and this show should be selling out.
Definitely see this.

If you lived and grew up through the 90’s house music scene you have to watch this. A fantastically descriptive script, compellingly delivered by an amazing actor enables you to visualise every detail. Overlayed with memorable music tracks and visual footage from the time. This show will transport you back to those days and re-ignite memories. I laughed, reminisced and as the final parts to the story closed shed a few tears with emotion…..thank you for the journey!

A powerful performance and so impressive to hold the stage for the entire time alone!! Believable acting and some poignant moments filled with hilarious jokes - definitely not one to miss!

Such an amazing nostalgic one man show x so well performed (how Danny remembered every single word is a true reflection of his outstanding skills) x the detailed description of writers clubbing experience is superb
