Shake, Rattle & Noel

This is a compelling comedy-drama monologue, wonderfully told. As you can tell, this is more than just another one of those 'me and my medical condition' Fringe shows.

people may know Noel Faulkner as the owner of London's Comedy Café club. They might also know he has Tourette's syndrome, and possibly that he used to be a stand-up himself.

Throughout his fascinating life, Faulkner has the habit of always being in the right place at the right time - be it at the heart of London in the Swinging Sixties, in a hippy community in San Francisco in the Seventies and New York as the underground club scene was at its most hedonistic in the Eighties. He is a real-life Zelig, so consistently does he crop up in all the most defining eras of modern pop culture.

But occasionally he was in the wrong place at the wrong   time, and he got busted for his role in smuggling four tonnes of marijuana into the States.

The show also throws up some incredible insights into Tourettes syndrome - most notably that one in ten of us has some form of it, even if it's just a desire to touch wet paint when a sign warns you of its presence.

The IRA, the Heaven's Gate suicide cult and the sadistic Christian Brothers who educated him all get a mention, too, in a show that's jam-packed with scintillating content.
