The Sitcom Trials

Fringe Programme page 52
 
The Sit-Com Trials, I didn't quite know what to expect to see in this show, I went into it open mindedly.
On entering the venue one is issued with a voting form together with a space for suggesting your own sitcom and selling slogan.
We were then asked for suggestions for the best sit-coms of all time, and once nine suggestions an elimination contest takes place to find the best.
Next there are the first halves of three specially written sit-coms, and the audience select which of these they wish to see the conclusion of.
While the votes are being counted the audience suggestions are read out and the winner selected by the popular vote.  Following rapidly on to this the jury's selected sit-com is completed,
And the verdict of this particular trial? Certainly not guilty of being a poor show.  
Venue 38 Gilded Balloon Cowgate
