FANCY winning £500 at the Fringe?
That’s the prize on offer in Dominic Frisby’s Financial Gameshow, a fun hour of financial trivia (and a lot of guesswork).
The wonderfully named Frisby is a decent host, guiding the audience through some simple games with tricky questions based around money.
He had a decent connection with most of the audience – albeit one was his dad.

The show sees audience members whittled down to several contestants by a series of heads or tails questions to play a variety of nearest to and higher or lower style games.
Prizes on offer include silver, bitcoin, a subscription to MoneyWeek magazine (what a prize) and the grand prize of £500 in cold hard cash.
At times it drags a little and there’s room to add a little more substance to it, but it’s fun to play along with and a good way to while away an hour and learn some pub quiz facts in the process.
Today’s contestant even walked away with the jackpot… and sadly it wasn’t me.
Verdict: ★★★
A slight clumsiness to the production adds to the charm of this fun comedy quiz show. It’s something a little different, and you’ll end up richer for the experience – even if you don’t land the jackpot.
