Edinburgh Festival!!!

[joe pinapples]

I cannot believe there is no thread celebrating Edinbergs Fringe Festival. This picture sums up for me what its all about.





I am not bitter at being too broke to go along. Anyone who suggests otherwise is telling lies.

i want to go see lucy porter there, she's pretty funny but only gets to be on those top 100 programs or as part of a quiz tv team

[joe pinapples]

cool - anyone else seen/gonna see some fringe stuff?

[Yer_Maw]

went to see ed byrne the other week, was pretty poor actually. but got richard herring and doug stanhope on sunday, ey ya bam

[Paddy]

went to see Simon Munnery the other day, was well good. the third part of his show was conducted in princes st gardens with a box of cheap red win and 50 plastic cups!

i get to see everythin at the stand for free so i'm gonna beastit for the remainder of the fringe...

[joe pinapples]

groovey, simon munnery can be hilarious.

essential shoe wearing at the Festival...

saw this fella last night...

That 1 Guy is a magnificently insane one-man show. The home made 7ft galvanized steel pipe, two-stringed instrument known as The Magic Pipe, is brought to life by electronic gadgets and it’s creator Mike Silverman. Whatever drove the mild-mannered Silverman to do this is debatable, but one thing is for sure: fans of the musically bizarre will be forever grateful.

Last time I went (2 years ago) me and my mate went to that shop that sells the shrooms, took some truffles, went to a strip club, then to a stand up comedy thing that we were late for, so had to sit right at the front. we got the piss ripped out us by the compere for a most of the night!

To cut a long story short, we missed the last bus home and the night/morning just got crazier and crazier... and it was really misty too, which made it all the more bizarre!

aye big up the fringe, its a fuckin blast!

has anyone seen that movie about the fringe, with that Nardini bird in it, whose a comedy critic and she gets pumped off one of the comedians? its a strange one!

[gypsy_cream]

that film looks shit.

[keo]

it is, but it beats watching dutch tv

[gypsy_cream]

fair enough

when i was in amsterdam i once watched a film with m wallace in it playing a drag queen...all dubbed in dutch.. was an experience.

[keo]

its not a language I enjoy listening to, in any state of mind!

[penciLneck]

heh.
