Dean's Silly Song Sing-Along -
Assembly Rooms
A historic show for two
reasons - it's Dean's first appearance at the Fringe (he's also doing Songs
For Adults at 6.35pm at the same venue) and he's part of the Assembly Rooms'
first children's programme. Better known as the man responsible for 70s hits
like Lucky Stars, Ariel and Woman Of Mine, Dean is also
an accomplished kids entertainer with a raft of infectiously funny songs for
every eventuality. Suitable for under-10s,
you'll instantly find yourself jigging along to catchy ditties about bees,
elder brothers and smelly feet. And, of course, there's the Silly Silly Silly
Silly Silly Song which is gloriously, um, silly. Participation is high on the
agenda as every song has a hook for everyone to join in, plus there's lots of
silly costumes for the younger members to dress up in when they're invited
onstage to be Dean's backing group. A must-see for all the family. Nick Awde

Assembly Rooms
If there
was such a thing as the pied piper of Edinburgh Fringe Festival this honour
should undoubtedly go to Dean Friedman.
His afternoon show of silly sing-a-longs is great, once the kids and adults
got warmed up we didn't want to stop singing. Some of the kids were desperate
to get on stage to help Dean, as were some of the adults. I felt a little
conspicuous on my own so take a kid or two if you can. Not that it is buried
very deep, but my inner child was given an outing and had a great time. If you
like his silly songs you can get a CD and go on singing along as often as you
like.
Follow the sounds of great fun music and sing-a-long-a Dean. Sheila
