Description
Si Beckwith ('razor sharp wit' (Crack Magazine)) brings his newest show Bricks to the Fringe. Si is a step-parent. Not one of them evil Disney type ones either, he's a really canny one. He's made a show about being one. It's a show about family, swearing, Lego, films, parenting, Newcastle and being a dafty. This new show is funny, heartfelt, silly, packed with stories and even has some art! Delivers warm laughter from some hot topics. 'Hilarious, thoughtful, contemporary and fearless' (Culture Vulture). 'Absurdly charming and funny' (NARC Magazine).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.

Definitely one to recommend! I’ve been to the Fringe for a few years. Seen some great shows and some not so great shows. This is one of the great ones! Brilliant set about step parenting and the joys of a blended family. Lots to relate to and laugh about. We saw the 1pm show which started our fringe visit this year on a very high note. Go see!

We saw Si's show in the 20th and loved it. Go and see it while you can. Loads of laughs, razor sharp Geordie humour and some lovely moments. Can't recommend highly enough.

The show was Incredibly funny, touching and thought-provoking. Si interacts superbly with the audience and makes it personal. A gem from a Geordie who deserves to go far in comedy.

Very funny and relatable show! The whole show was an incredible mix of down-to-earth humour and seeing it in its full Geordie glory (although Si assured us he has a 'Southern version') was amazing! A must-see whether you have a blended family or otherwise.

This show is heartwarming and hilarious in perfect measure. Si is an absolute expert in getting the audience on board with his stories and somehow manages to convey the realities of North East family life while getting you to proper belly laugh! An absolute must-see for everyone, especially those who have experience being part of a blended family.

Thoroughly loved the show - both really sweet and hilarious. Si was canny as anything, and his down-to-earth but sharp wit really made this show. Definitely a gem of the Fringe - gave me a great laugh! Can’t recommend this enough, go and see it!

Si’s show is just a great big Geordie hug. Took my stepdad and we loved it - you can relax in Si’s company with his lush casual comedy style and I’d recommend this show to anyone with an hour free in their fringe schedule!

Si's show was an enjoyable one. A good mix of anecdotes, jokes and amiable crowd work that helped put everyone at ease. Overall a great storyteller, great comedian and one I'd recommend to anyone at a loose end around the middle of the day.

When people tell you to try and find the ‘hidden gems’ of Fringe, then this is the show they’re talking about. Si’s show is fantastic, a wonderfully funny hour. It’s really great to see step-parents and blended families talked about on stage and I really recommend you come and hear Si’s story. He’s one of the most naturally funny comedians you’ll see at Fringe this year. Guaranteed laugh.

A truly amazing show that I really wasn’t expecting. Early in the day is sometimes tricky especially if the weather is nice but the crowd were really up for it and Si delivered with every joke. Can’t wait to see him again. NOT TO BE MISSED
