What the reviewers said
We have captured 3 published reviews and 22 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.
Hailing from both working-class roots and socialist values, Ruaridh Miller’s Fringe sequel returns to declare war on classism. The only problem is that now he must come to terms with his newfound middle-class status.
Autocorrect Thinks My Name is “Rubbish” is a sharp and thoroughly Scottish hour that finds plenty of comedy in class, identity and the strange rabbit hole that everyday life can lead you down.
— Broadway World (4 out of 5 stars)
Miller’s presence and likability help of course, but there is also a new sense of positivity rather than rants, and a willingness to figure it out rather than sweat it. 4 Stars
