For a while now the senior partner in my accountancy and assassination firm has begged me to let him loose on dooyoo. Up until now his inability to type (due to lack of arms following the cigarette machine fiasco of '93) has held him back but this morning I foolishly allowed him to make me a cuppa and he won't give me the antidote to whatever it was he slipped in unless I type this out for him. So please don't blame me but here's Monkey Peter's review of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2009: Edinburgh. It's in Scotland which is like England but more north and has men who wear skirts and women who wear trousers and allegedly they toss cabers up there ...  Read the complete review

I lived in Edinburgh for 5 years and used to really look forward to the month of August when the Edinburgh festival would commence. It was established in 1947 and is still going strong. This year it runs from the 31st July - 25th August. There are shows about virtually everything from Comedy to Flamenco, Opera to Hip hop. The venues are scattered across the city and vary from a phone box to a magnificent hall. It really is anything goes here! If you are going to attend the Fringe there are 5 top tips recommended on the fringe site (http://www.edfringe.com ) 1. Book accommodation - it is probably best not to arrive to Edinburgh during the ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Edinburgh Festival Fringe: Fun at the Fringe! (290 words)

We have just spent the weekend visiting friends in Edinburgh and the weekend coincided with the 'preview' week of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The atmosphere in Edinburgh was fantastic and party-like with loads of performers parading the streets and plugging their upcoming shows. The Royal Mile was packed everyday with stalls and performing arts groups on their costumes handing out fliers for their productions. There was so much to see and do, all detailed in the huge thick programme that you can get from any of the box offices around the city. The preview week is really good if you want to save a bit of cash - there are loads of gigs (comedy/plays etc) ...  Read the complete review

Once more the Fringe festival is almost upon us, Princes St. all the way up round Cockburn St. and the Royal Mile are totally buzzing with people from all walks of life. Japanese, Americans, Canadians, Germans and one or two Polish, they turn the City into a month long party for anyone who loves a bit of culture. Some folk go and don't spend a penny (culture vultures), the amount of street performers makes sure of this, as they are allotted a certain amount of time to each act at each part of the city, other entertainers then move in eagerly. Fire breathers (not the pub goers), Jugglers, people doing back flips and sometimes people breathing fire whilst ...  Read the complete review

As a wee Scottish lass I'm ashamed to say that I must have been at least about 12 or 13 before I first attended the Fringe. In fact, up to that age I'd been in glorious oblivion to its existence, until one balmy summer evening when I was dangling from the light fittings and annoying my mother, my dad packed me into the car and sped off up the motorway. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much. After all, I was a young teenager and was just developing that always becoming chip on my shoulder and it would be seriously uncool of me to actually enjoy any activity that my poor dad had made an effort to ...  Read the complete review

 

Products similar to Edinburgh Festival Fringe




High quality acting. Does try to fit too many social taboos into 45 minutes.

Kitson at his usual insightful, inspiring best. Show still has some distance to go in the early stages.

Great improvised comedy. Not all scenes are going to work.
