Edinburgh Fringe

[mcquiggd]

And actually, dont neccessarily trust the www.edfringe.com website - i've just checked by ringing the booking office and the reservation I made online did not go through as they had sold out, but the website was not accurate and appeared to make a successful transaction when it simply allocated me tickets it did not have.

Their advice was to ring the venue and book over the phone.

Technology eh!


P.S rang the venue - tickets available and booked. Probably a better approach. Last year I had no problems.... maybe John Reid should pay the fringe a visit... hmmmm.....

P.S dont forget to wear your England shirt.

Thing to remember is to try a variety - not just the big names. There are some real gems hidden away.

Meh, even if the shows are sold out you could always just walk up and down the Royal Mile and watch the "preview" shows.

We were there last year by "accident" and thoroughly enjoyed the street shows (and the tattoo, which is what we went for).

Enjoy. I am under the impression that it is a terrific event. I just couldnt resist posting a completely off topic reply.

.. anyone ever been? whats it like?

have been asked if id like to go see my brother in glasgee after a fair amount of promising to go visit him and never getting round to it.. he suggested we take a trip over to Edinburgh for the fringe this weekend..

thoughts/ recommendations anyone?

Yes, many times and it's a blast. The main stuff might be sold out but there's plenty of other stuff to catch, some of which willbe brilliant, some complete tulipe. The place will be buzzing and it's open all night.

Just check the Scotsman for listings, get tickets on the day to stuff (Get almost everything you want) or go hang out at the pleasance and watch a choice of several shows/comedies from there.

Continuing the Google images theme, put "femme poilue" in .... or not, if you've just eaten.

Much nicer than the hairy Glasgow Minge, I find.

I went muff diving with a wee Scottish lass and I was shocked to find it left in its natural state. It was so long she could a platted it or put it in curlers.

A lot of the best shows are now sold out (I live in Edinburgh).

I wouldn't bother seeing Ed Byrne - dissapointing.

I don't really have a preference, as long as I don't get spiders' legs in my teeth.

I always thought it was a very short Brazillian!
