Sandy Nelson: Bedroom Popstar

Fringe Programme page 50
 
Sandy Nelson an actor and musician, dreaming of pop stardom.
We find Sandy rehearsing in his bedroom with friends for a battle of the bands competition and the joy of performing on Glasgow Green.
His witty satirical look at the pop business and slating of other performers is hilarious.  He even defends his looks by informing us of his attempts to improve in the hope of getting females. His performance skills and audience interactions are both funny and somewhat endearing.
The rest of the band either share the flat or live in the same block, this is cleverly intertwined to allow for the larger pop group numbers. I had expected a solo show but the addition of a base player and pianist on keyboards, just added more value for money. 
Due to the late start of this show and the time restrictions I didn’t see the finale, which promised to be good fun. Could anyone tell me what happened as I don’t think I can get back to find out.
What I saw was both very clever and funny with pleasant visuals and a melodic voice Sandy puts on a good show.
