About The Other Guys
The Other Guys: Bad Academic Practice is a 60-minute a cappella and comedy show by The Other Guys, a student and youth company from St Andrews, performed at Braeburn as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. After a three-year hiatus, the group returns to the Fringe with 60 minutes of pitch-perfect harmonies, sharp suits and sharp wit, featuring pop bangers, Scottish folk, musical theatre and more. Their signature blend of irreverence, showmanship and comedy is on full display in a show billed as a musical comedy fix suitable for all ages. Tickets are £13.
Why see this show?
A group returning after a three-year break tends to bring renewed energy to their material. The a cappella format is a good fit for a Fringe show — nothing to hide behind, just voices and timing.
