Edinburgh Festival Fringe Reviews

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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

Last August was my first ever visit to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and I had the time of my life. I laughed so much, walked so much, ate so much and drunk so much that I left it in serious physical pain. But god, was it worth it! The Fringe runs throughout August every year, and comprises hundreds upon hundreds of plays, music events ...  Read the complete review

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is probably one of the greatest in the world. Having run for many years it has a worldwide reputation, attracting some of the biggest names in music, comedy and theatre. It runs along side the 'real' festival and is designed to offer the 'arts' to the masses at a cost more discerning to the average Joe ...  Read the complete review

Why am I here? There's not much toilet roll, and there's a sign on the door urging me to 'spare a thought and share a flush'. Is this what life has come to? Yup - if you're in Edinburgh that is, for those four mad weeks we call the Fringe. And using portable toilets is the very least of it. Where ...  Read the complete review

Let me just say one thing: "Come to the Edinburgh Festival!!!!!!" It really is not to be missed. I went to the festival last year as a performer in our school Musical and I had two of the best weeks of my life. Where should I start, the list of great things is endless. Firstly, the entertainment provided both ...  Read the complete review

The Edinburgh Festival is obviously a good thing, in that it gives lots of little known artists a chance to perform. However, it is also good for the consumer as you can discover why these little known artists are just that. It's usually because they're rubbish. My advice for the festival is to book early for the interesting or well ...  Read the complete review
