In today's Edinburgh coverage

In this morning's Edinburgh reviews, Lyn Gardner is impressed by a chilling impersonation of Abu Ghraib guard Lynndie England, yet left cold by an over-obvious After the End; Maddy Costa feels a touch hectored by The Riot Group's latest show; Phil Daoust drinks in some wholesome comedy by Lucy Porter; and Alison Kerr is won over by jazzman Peter Cincotti's charm - if not by his venue's sound system.

Plus: Jonathan Jones makes a case for Francis Bacon at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art; Charlotte Higgins finds out how British-Asians are creating comedy after the July 7 attacks; and Phil Daost meets Kahlil Ashanti, a comic who learnt his craft by entertaining US troops.
