By Ollie Wilson
This was not stand-up but a one-man comedy play written and performed by Robin Cairns. And very funny and entertaining it was too.
Robin played Morningside Malcolm and at least five related characters including a gangster, a simpleton and their wives who all get involved in the mysterious disappearance - in other words, theft - of the Edinburgh pandas, and their subsequent remarkable proliferation.
They bred like there's no tomorrow.
It was a hilarious, convoluted plot, delivered at great speed and with admirable skill by Robin, a gifted actor and performance poet.
For those from south of the border, some of the Glaswegian and Edinburgh references were lost but this did not much diminish the joy of watching this outstanding show.
