Digs Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Going to Forth on the Fringe, and Andrew Maxwell and Reginald D Hunter are on the bill for that. Both of those are well worth seeing. I've not looked to see who else is on, but we are going for a full day on the 5th and will be doing some of the family and free stuff. A lot of that is just as good, so it's worth searching what is on for free. It is hit and miss though and can also be terrible, but if it's free then you've not lost anything as most of them are only 30-40 mins long.

Teuchter Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 The last time that I lived in Edinburgh during the fringe was 2005 and I remember sitting stony faced during the performance of several comedians. One in particular I remember was at the Cafe Royal. We got free tickets at the clearing place at the top of Waverley. I sat through the show thinking that the pair on stage must have blown their middle class trust fund putting the show on and would get absolutely nowhere. I was completely wrong on that score as it was Jose Long who seems to have carved out a decent career for herself. I suppose at the time, given the response of the audience, I was in a minority even back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
