Description
Looking for something to do? Why not watch us solve a murder? From Comedy Troupe Glass Crumpet, comes the adventure of... roughly two weeks in August. The esteemed Sir Archibald is dead, but Jack Johnson is on the case. Join our brave, but incompetent, detective as they try to solve the greatest mystery they have ever faced. Featuring a cast of oddly similar-looking characters and exploring a range of locations made mostly from cardboard and imagination, A Brief Case has everything: slapstick, laughter, hats, even a script (TBC)… there’s something for everyone, from nursery to nursing homes.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.

I absolutely enjoyed every minute of this show. Jack Johnson deserves special mention for such a great performance. There are too many little things worthy of mention, to mention! I guarantee that you'll be thoroughly entertained if (when) you watch this performance.

Highly entertaining, puns and slapstick mixed with clever word play. Great show!

Absolutely adorable and equally hilarious!! Family-friendly and a great early morning treat for everyone who wants to have a laugh and solve the mystery faster than the detective. Silliness at its finest with brilliant comedic timing from all 4 performers involved!

Came to see the show after being handed a flyer en route to another morning show... Needless to say my 10 year old wanted to go with this show as she's going through her murder/crime phase...
The show was absolutely incredible and as a family of four we were so chuffed we decided to bin the other show off for this one. I myself laughed so much throughout and there are jokes for all ages and maturity levels!
The four actors played some sensationally daft but wholesome characters and even after they picked me out the audience for committing the crime I still managed to forgive them thanks to their insane comedic performance.

A fantasticly entertaining family show and at 10 am the perfect start to the day! My 11 year old loved it and belly laughed all the way through!! A well written script performed with pace and energy (except for Gary!!) by four very talented performers. It’s a free/pay what you can show but these guys really do deserve to get paid!! One of our favorite shows so far this year…well done Glass Crumpet!

Such a great, fun filled family show in the FREE fringe. Great venue at 3 sisters just off royal mile. I don’t think I’ve laughed so much at 10am in the morning. My 3 kids - 7,9 and 11 loved it. It was great to be able to see a show as a family which made all of us laugh. A great way to spend your morning. Highly recommended . Well done, Glass crumpet.

OMG - this show is nothing short of brilliant. Family friendly but funny too. We came after getting a flyer from their stand up show last night which was amazing too. The four actors work so hard to make the audience laugh and boy did they laugh. The room was rocking!!! We loved it so much the kids wanted to go back the following day - which we did!!! Just off the royal mile at three sisters pub. So funny- do yourself a favour and go!!! Brilliant 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Free sweets as well

We booked for the opening morning of A Brief Case, I went with my 12 year old daughter, we both thoroughly enjoyed the show, and she wants to see the show again! Branded sweets at the end were an additional unexpected highlight :)

Hilarious show, great for all ages. We all loved it, the comic timing was spot on, the jokes kept me (loudly) giggling the whole way through, and the plot was excellent - silly, funny, charming and exactly what we wanted. Excellent

At 10am on a Sunday Morning I have never laughed more!
Absolutely spot on parody, wit, exceptional timing, silliness - brilliant audience awkward silences then explosive laughter. The cast were doing something to amuse at every second and each scene seamlessly segwayed into a serious of brilliantly delivered comedy sketch and ended with a song! I'm still laughing now - three days later ;-)
