When Fringe Dog was asked to critique President Trump's strategist Kellyanne Conway's brief 1990s foray into stand-up, the happy canine critic finally discovered his dark side

i dont mean any ofence to moles ,or any other animal friends who live under ground , but unless you been livin in a hole ,you will know that there is a lot of crazy bonkers people in the white house right now . if the current US govingment was a edimbrugh show ,you would say "that too far fetched, and a bit bad taste !!" but it is not a edimbrugh show !! it is all real !!

probably you also will have heard of kellyanne conway ,who is counselor to president mr trump . a acronym of her name is k.a.c., which is a word that means poop ,and trump means when you do a squiffy gas poo while sittin on owner's lap ,so it is a very scatalogical cabinet they have goin there !! anyway ,ms conway has very active imagination ,and while most edimbrugh performers use imagination to make 5star briliant art ,she prefer instead to do things like invent terorist attacks – it certainly interestin storytellin but there is time and place !! not really appropriate for very important top job like that !! o boy o boy !!

another important top job is bein a comedian . when you a comedian ,you hold a wonky carnival mirror up to authority and you ask tough questions in a funny way ,cos you have to laugh dont you . especialy when things are gettin scary . most importantly ,comedy is about getting to the truth.

so when i found out that kellyanne conway ,inventor of alternative facts ,had a go at being a briliant 5star stand-up comedian ,i growled for the very first time in my life !! i was amazed to discover my inner wolf !! it was quite empowerin !! and then i did something i never done before . i disobeyed a direct order from my editor ,who had asked me to review her comedy set . i did not and will not watch it .

but i am not a disobedient bad boy !! it is just that i believe in the sanctity of the comedian . kellyanne conway is not a comedian . the trump administration are not suposed to be entertainers , they suposed to be politicians. at the moment ,they are barely politicians ,they just bad bad boys and girls !!

this summer ,i will be at briliant edimbrugh fringe ,where audiences from all over world come together to watch briliant 5star comedians preach truth and messages of love . havin said that , i am still very exited to watch all 600 productions of "trump : the musical" that will be at the fringe in 2017 ,because i bet they will all be 5star political satire briliants !!

i will also make a quick detour to trump international golf course in aberdeen to do dirty protest on the 18th hole . i would like to invite you all to join me in this dirty protest ,especialy 5star scottish comedian janey godley ,who i am pretty sure will be well up for it and might have even done it already !!
