Your 10 Essential Edinburgh Fringe Comedy Shows
Tim Key has become a ubiquitous face on television over the last decade. He was in the first episode of Inside No 9 and had the very first lines in the very last episode. His career has now gone up a further notch with his lauded role alongside Carey Mulligan in the warm and witty film The Ballad of Wallis Island. Key, however, adores live performance and brings a fresh show to the Fringe, his latest hybrid of offbeat poetry and gnomic observations, this time entitled Loganberry (his last show was Mulberry, so there appears to be a fruity theme developing).

Brooke Shields' Trainer Nofar Hagag Says This May Help You Sleep
Originally appeared on E! Online You're not going to want to sleep on this instructor Nofar Hagag—who developed the Nofar Method workouts that stars like Brooke Shields and Carey Mulligan swear by—says fitting light cardio in at night can be the key to not losing any sleep."Some people just have a heavy dinner and go to bed," Hagag explained in an exclusive interview with E! News' Francesca Amiker. "That's, like, the worst thing."Instead, notes the New York City-based trainer, "They say if you walk for 15 or 20 minutes before your bedtime, you sleep more peacefully and your quality of sleep is better."After all, walking provides both physical and mental health benefits. In fact, Hagag finds taking a stroll outdoors to be "very meditative," especially after a long day of sitting inside in front of screens."You mentally have more clarity," she shared. "You have so much energy from being out." More from E!

Generally, she recommends exercising three times a week—spacing them out with a day in-between—and incorporating Pilates, strength training as well as a day of cardio. And while Nofar Method devotees swear by her unique combination of 25 minutes on the Cadillac machine and 25 minutes on the reformer with lots of props thrown in for fun, "I feel like, in any fitness class, consistency is the best secret behind anything," Hagag said. "You need to find a place that will be close enough. Because time is money and you don't want to travel an hour for a Pilates class or any fitness class. You need to find something that works with your routine."And she suggests picking something you'll actually enjoy doing."Another key is to find something that is fun for you—for your soul and for your body," Hagag added. "If can be hard, it can be easy, but it needs to be enjoyable. People connect to something that they're really passionate [about and] come back because they enjoy it." Finding a studio or teacher you mesh with can help too."They need to find a teacher or a place that they can feel attached," Hagag explained. "You know how some people can elevate your energy? It's just a matter of you try the right person that suits your energy."And while it can sometimes feel tempting to throw in the towel after one or two sessions, the college water polo player recommends trying an activity at least three to four times to get into it. But however people incorporate movement into their day, Hagag urges them to be present instead of focusing on their devices or their never-ending to-do lists."If people really come with the right intention to work out and drop everything mentally and just be focused on themselves,' she said, "that will be a key changer for a lot of people."It's how Hagag tries to make her clients feel when they visit her studios in New York and Miami for the Nofar Method, designed to strengthen the core and create long, lean muscles."The aesthetic of the place is very soothing," Hagag told E!. "The light is dimmer, the music is in the background, it doesn't feel like you're in a workout that you have a teacher that they have a microphone on and [are] screaming at you. And honestly, we just talk to you as a person. We have a full conversation with you during class: If you feel it in the right places, if you want to make it more hard. The class is very adaptable to who is in the room."The ultimate goal, she added, is for clients to feel, "This satisfaction that you did a hard workout, but you feel good inside and out."Looking for more fitness advice?

2025's best movies (so far) include 'Sinners,' 'Sorry Baby' and 'One of Them Days'
Often the best movies of the second half of the year come almost preordained as the Oscars Industrial Complex revs into high gear. The first half, though, can offer more of a thrill of discovery. The first six months of 2025 have offered plenty of that, including indie gems, comedy breakouts and sensational filmmaking debuts. Here are our 10 favorites from the year's first half. The Ballad of Wallis Island 'The Ballad of Wallis Island' is the kind of charming gem that's easy to recommend to any kind of movie lover. It is goofy and friendly, has an armful of lovely folk songs, an all-timer of a rambling character, in Tim Key's eccentric and completely lovable Charles, Tom Basden's grumpy, too-cool straight man, and the always delightful Carey Mulligan. 'Wallis Island' is a film about letting go and moving on told with humor, wit and a big heart. Also hailing from the British Isles is the equally delightful 'Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl." (streaming on Peacock) —Bahr One of Them Days The big-screen comedy has been an almost extinct creature in recent years, but Lawrence Lamont's 'One of Them Days' gives me hope. Not only was this buddy comedy a surprise box-office hit, it is probably the exhibit A in the case of Keke Palmer Should Be in Everything. She and SZA, in her film debut, play Los Angeles housemates in a madcap race to make rent. (Streaming on Netflix) —Coyle Sorry, Baby There's a sequence in Eva Victor's delicate, considered and disarmingly funny directorial debut, 'Sorry, Baby' that kind of took my breath away. You know something bad is going to happen to Agnes, it's literally the logline of the film. You sense that her charismatic thesis adviser is a bit too fixated on her. The incident itself isn't seen, Victor places their camera outside of his home. Agnes goes inside, the day turns to evening and the evening turns to night, and Agnes comes out, changed. But we stay with her as she finds her way to her car, to her home and, most importantly to her friend, Lydie (Naomi Ackie). This is a film about what happens after the bad thing. And it's a stunner. (In theaters) —Bahr Black Bag Arguably the best director-screenwriter tandem this decade has been Steven Soderbergh and David Koepp. They were behind the pandemic thriller 'Kimi' and another standout of 2025, the ghost-POV 'Presence.' But their spy thriller-marital drama 'Black Bag,' starring Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett as married British intelligence agents, may be their best collaboration yet. It's certainly the one with the most delicious dialogue. How has it taken the movies this long to make a dinner scene with spies dosed with truth serum? (Streaming on Peacock) —Coyle Materialists Celine Song's 'Materialists ' might not be the film people wanted it to be, but it's the film they need in this land of high-end dating apps, designer dupes and everyone pretending to live like minor socialites on Instagram. A thoughtful meditation on money, worth, love and companionship, this is a film that upends everything we've come to think we want from the so-called romantic comedy (the idea of prince charming, the inexplicable wealth that's supposed to coexist with middle class mores). Lifestyle porn will always have a place in the rom-com machine, but this is a populist film, both modern and timeless, that reminds us that love should be easy. It should feel like coming home. 'Materialists' is simply the most purely romantic film of the year. (In theaters) — Bahr Sinners Not only does the wait go on for Ryan Coogler to make a bad movie, he seems to be still realizing his considerable talents. There are six months to go, still, in 2025, but I doubt we'll have a big scale movie that so thrillingly doubles (see what I did there) as a personal expression for its filmmaker as 'Sinners.' This exhilarating vampire saga is ambitiously packed with deep questions about community, Black entertainment, Christianity and, of course, Irish dancing. (Streaming on Max) —Coyle Pavements In a world of woefully straightforward documentaries and biopics about musicians, Alex Ross Perry decided to creatively, and a little chaotically, upend the form with his impossible-to-categorize film about the 90s indie band Pavement. Blending fact, fiction, archive, performance, this winkingly rebellious piece is wholly original and captivating, and, not unlike Todd Haynes's 'I'm Not There,' the kind of movie to turn someone who's maybe enjoyed a few Pavement and Stephen Malkmus songs into a fan. (In theaters, streaming on MUBI July 11) —Bahr April A rare and exquisite precision guides Dea Kulumbegashvili's rigorous and despairing second feature. Beneath stormy spring skies in the European country of Georgia, a leading local obstetrician (Ia Sukhitashvili) pitilessly works to help women who are otherwise disregarded, vilified or worse. This is a movie coursing with dread, but its expression of a deep-down pain is piercing and unforgettable. (Not currently available) —Coyle On Becoming a Guinea Fowl A visually, and thematically arresting marvel, Rungano Nyoni's darkly comedic, stylish and hauntingly bizarre film about unspoken generational trauma takes audiences to a place, I'm guessing, many have never been: A Zambian family funeral. And yet its truths ring universal, as the elder generation turns their heads from the awful truth that the dead man, Fred, was a predator and pedophile, while the younger wonders if things must stay as they are. (Streaming on HBO Max on July 4) --Bahr Friendship On TV, Tim Robinson and Nathan Fielder have been doing genius-level comedy. Fielder hasn't yet jumped into his own films, but, then again, it's hard to get an epic of cringe comedy and aviation safety like season two of 'The Rehearsal' into a feature-length movie. But in 'Friendship,' writer and director Andrew DeYoung brings Robinson, star of 'I Think You Should Leave," into well-tailored, very funny and dementedly perceptive movie scenario. He plays a man who awkwardly befriends a cool neighbor (Paul Rudd). While their differences make for most of the comedy in the movie, 'Friendship' — which culminates in a telling wink — is really about their similarities. (Available for digital rental) — Coyle

Oscar-Nominated Actress Carey Mulligan Charts Her First Hit Album
Carey Mulligan scores her first chart appearance with The Ballad of Wallis Island soundtrack, which ... More debuts at No. 50 on the U.K.'s Official Soundtrack Albums chart. TOPSHOT - English actress Carey Mulligan attends the 96th Annual Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California on March 10, 2024. (Photo by Frederic J. Brown / AFP) (Photo by FREDERIC J. BROWN/AFP via Getty Images) Carey Mulligan is one of the most celebrated actresses of her generation. She's best known for her work in intimate, artistic films — typically deciding against blockbusters and massive paychecks in favor of projects that really interest her — and her creative choices have earned her multiple nominations at the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, and even for a Tony. Mulligan recently ventured into the music world with her latest film The Ballad of Wallis Island, and as audiences in the United Kingdom head to cinemas to see the project, she also scores her first chart win. The Ballad of Wallis Island Soundtrack Debuts Mulligan is credited on the official soundtrack that accompanies The Ballad of Wallis Island alongside her co-star Tom Basden. The two actors debut at No. 50 on the Official Soundtrack Albums chart, marking an introductory musical win for both multi-talented individuals. The Ballad of Wallis Island's Journey to Theaters The Ballad of Wallis Island premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January and hit theaters in the United States in late March. It wasn't until May 30 that the project reached U.K. theaters, and thus the soundtrack is only just beginning its run. The film isn't a musical, but rather a movie with music at its core. The story centers around a formerly-popular folk duo from the British Isles that reunites for one weekend, and the two perform several original tunes that were written for the film. How to Train Your Dragon and Death Stranding 2 Mulligan and Basden score the lowest of three debuts on the Official Soundtrack Albums chart this week. They follow behind John Powell's How to Train Your Dragon at No. 13 and Woodkid's accompanying set for the video game Death Stranding 2 at No. 29.

Woke rocker causes outrage at first concert of biggest US tour since MAGA member was forced out
Marcus Mumford upset fans as he abruptly stopped his concert and launched into a foul-mouthed tirade this week - which was captured in a shock video. The 38-year-old musician is currently on his first US tour with his band Mumford & Sons since former member Winston Marshall departed four years ago in a cloud of controversy after praising a US conservative journalist. During their recent tour kick-off concert in Bend, Oregon, fans were stunned when he stopped the show and stormed off-stage after hurling expletives. A TikTok video of the incident has surfaced where Marcus - who is married to multi-time Oscar nominated actress Carey Mulligan - appears to be focused on something in the crowd as he points something out in the audience. He seemingly says 'sorry, f*** them,' before unstrapping his acoustic guitar and exiting stage left. has reached out to representatives for Marcus and has yet to hear back. The 38-year-old musician is currently on his first US tour with his band Mumford & Sons since Winston Marshall (pictured) departed four years ago after he became the victim of ' Cancel Culture ' when he praised a US conservative journalist - pictured 2019 While it remains unclear why he left the concert abruptly, a few comments on the TikTok seemingly shed some light on the decision. One user wrote: 'People kept getting hurt! He tried to play this song 3x and ended up walking off stage so they could give medical. Never finished the song.' Another said: 'About 3 people passed out in a row. In the same song. So he stopped so they could get help.' Back in October, Marcus led Mumford & Sons to perform at a Kamala Harris rally in Madison, Wisconsin days before she was defeated by current US President Donald Trump in the election. At the time he tried to rally fans to vote for the Democratic candidate as he said: 'I would encourage you to get with your mates, make a voting plan and go out and vote, because every vote will matter you.' Marcus has previously stated that his political views are 'somewhere between centrist and liberal,; Mumford & Sons have not toured since the end of 2019 as they have played several festival gigs from 2023 to 2024. This is also their first tour after guitarist Winston Marshall famously left the band four years ago after sharing his conservative political views. The musician said he was a victim of 'cancel culture' as he was ousted from the band and hounded by fans for sending a tweet to conservative journalist Andy Ngo thanking him for his book, which was critical of Antifa. Marshall, son of multi-millionaire hedge fund manager Sir Paul Marshall, told Ngo: 'Congratulations . . . Finally had the time to read your important book. You're a brave man.' Left-wing social media users immediately piled on to the star, accused him of being a 'fascist.' Before he posed the question of granting asylum to British people convicted on free speech grounds to Leavitt in the White House, Marshall often spoke out about cancel culture within the entertainment industry. In 2022, this included appearing at the Conservative Party Conference, where he slated artists for failing to support free speech, and said his departure from his band the year before would allow him to 'speak freely about political issues.'
