What the reviewers said
We have captured 3 published reviews and 21 audience reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.
Jeromaia Detto, as Giuseppe Alfresco, is looking for love. In the UK this feels like more dangerous ground than it perhaps is elsewhere in the world.
After Detto’s performance in “When I Grow Up” at last year’s Fringe, I’ve been a keen fan of his work. “Giuseppe’s Love Quest” uses a different angle to “When I Grow Up”.
Giuseppe’s Love Quest is essentially one wonderfully chaotic hour following our hero of the moment, Giuseppe, as he attempts to solve one of life’s greatest mysteries: love. There’s just one problem, Giuseppe doesn’t…
