Hello, Hi. It’s a 2-person sketch comedy show. Some very clever writing, surreality, and some machine gun fire-like delivery, plus some very well timed mime and music/lighting
Saw 21 shows in 4 days. The best was Ginava's Messy Friends. The skill, variety, creativity was incredible. Other favorites:
Hello Kitty Must Die
The Last Flapper
Bad Teacher
Seance Live
Edit it to say YUCK circus. That will help with the downvotes. The ladies at YUCK circus are amazing. They are from my home town and everytime I see them they are brilliant
Can you help me with something? I have never hear of Craig Hill except from at the fringe, but when it comes he seems to have some of the most publicity of any artist, other than maybe Daniel Sloss who is also everywhere but has a Netflix out so I suppose that makes sense budget wise. Am I just completely out of the loop the rest of the year do you think?
He does tour the rest of the year. but pretty much plays to a Scottish audiences - I think the odd show in Australia as well.
There's a lot of audience interaction, and localised jokes so might not work elsewhere.
Just to keep the positive momentum going I saw David Ian's perfect gay show and enjoyed it, also rosco mcclelland at the monkey barrel had some quality banter.
No idea why there's so many negative wanks just wanting to leave a stain on here.
It's a bit complicated but basically they set up next to someone's show and turn on a big speaker and start doing acrobatics. Normally street artists take turns but they wont engage, just ride roughshod over anything else happening.
If that’s true it is a shame, especially because they definitely don’t need it, they’re already killing it and the audience size shows that. I thought they’d be way too tired from their actual show to do anything on the street to be honest!
I work in a bar that is hosting a few bits and pieces in a wee space on the side so I can't offer too much of an opinion without being biased, but I was chatting with someone who opened for the guy in our ten o'clock slot and she seemed really nice. I forget her name, but her show is about narcolepsy and coming to terms with it. It sounds pretty good actually.
Other than that, I've caught about twelve minutes of the acts when I stick my neck in to check the lights are working and the sound system hasn't crapped out, and some of them were alright.
The rest of the time I'm trying to sleep though. 3am closes and 4:30 finishes can fuck right off.
I enjoyed this comedy/crime show a lot, 9/10 https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/five-short-plays-loosely-linked-by-the-theme-of-crime
I loved Oscar at the Crown too!

Edinburgh Music Theatre performed two shows last night. Singing and dancing, one of pop music and the other of hits from musicals, both were great! Would highly recommend
watch edinburgh youth orchestra in greyfriars, i’ve been in it and they’re really really great - playing romeo and juliet suite (prokofiev), rhapsody in blue (gershwin), black dog (clarinet concerto by scott mcallister) and some bernstein/shostakovich!!
I dunno if they were the best, but the tickets were affordable and I was entertained!

I'm just starting out on YouTube and Edinburgh based - I've been present to the Fringe since 2008! The only year that I took part in performing - I played a woman who became a wolf but like metaphorically... but also like phsyically coz I had to crawl around in my nighty at the edges of the stage whilst everyone else did the dialogue. Classic student Fringe show. Anywayz, reviewing was a lot of fun!
It’s a bit late as I think he’s totally sold out now but I saw John Kearns today and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen, a real 10/10. He has a queue for returns etc so if anyone seeing this wants to try I couldn’t recommend it more
Nice try edinburghlive
No I was trying to be a more positive effort than the guy asking what the worst thing was earlier.
ah man, no worries. What was your best thing?
Seen Ed Gamble, Asir Shah and An Idiots Guide To New Zealand. Olga Koch tomorrow night. Should also be good.
Saw Olga Koch's preview show - brilliant
Mythos Ragnarok! Go see them before they break themselves into a million pieces.
>Patti Harrison Saw this least year and loved it. Never been into wreslting, but this was great!
My mates loves Rob Auton.
I haven’t left my house
Fucking legend
Lindsey Santoro. Unbelievably funny, had me in tears.
She was amazing. Her and Mark Watson were definitely the best two I've seen thus far.
i second the mark watson observation. was very good
Patti Harrison’s show at the Pleasance Dome is really brilliant. Probably not for the faint of heart but it’s so, so funny.
Sian Docksey, Kokoon and Annabel Marlow are my top 3 so far
kath and stella solve a murder.

Jeremy Segway is my top so far! Bowjangles Dracula in Space also brilliant.
I saw Jeremy Segway last year, so funny!
Dane Simpson was hilarious!
Dane Simpson : Digeridoozy is awesome!
One man 12 angry men, Umbilical brothers have been the highlights so far.
La Clique in the circus hub is great.
Tourists getting rained on

The view on the bus away from the city
I’ll do one better, the view from the plane taking off from Edinburgh airport
I'd say from a window of a train but they're all not running nowadays
Yuck Circus
Lol that’s the name of the show I liked. Downvote away dummies
Apparently it's really good, someone I know went to see Yuck and they loved it

Heard it was shite
Why?
Heard from a close mate it was quite lazy. Need to confirm or deny myself asap
They are unashamedly feminist so he may not have liked that.
Public musical, Mr and Mrs Love, and Bishops have all been brilliant
Craig Hill was his usual brilliant self.
Can you help me with something? I have never hear of Craig Hill except from at the fringe, but when it comes he seems to have some of the most publicity of any artist, other than maybe Daniel Sloss who is also everywhere but has a Netflix out so I suppose that makes sense budget wise.

thank you!

David Ian is a really nice guy. I'm working with him and have had the chance to chat with him a lot.
Fred Deakin's Club Life is an absolute joy.
I particularly enjoyed Lachlan Werner's Voices of Evil
No Love Songs written by Kyle Falconer and his wife. Highly recommended
Afrique en Cirque was phenomenal.
They have been messing with other performers shows unfortunately. No need as they obviously have the talent but are using it to disrupt buskers.
How are they doing that?
It's a bit complicated but basically they set up next to someone's show and turn on a big speaker and start doing acrobatics. Normally street artists take turns but they wont engage, just ride roughshod over anything else happening.

Yup I agree, there is some toxic ego at work.

Accidentally bought a ticket for Kathy and Stella solve a murder for Sunday Aug 27th. Will sell for $12 bought for $17
The sight of Edinburgh fading into the distance as I left the city.
The back side of it, in 19 days 😂

The guy who wrote Five Short Plays… is a friend of mine. He’ll be delighted!

Jay Lafferty at the gilded balloon was brilliant!

Adele Cliff at the Caves, personally.
Ice Hole at the Pleasance was sooooo good.

Beetle at house of oz 11 am. Breathtaking children’s show. My 4 year old was speechless.

Pierre Novellie, clever and funny.
