Edinburgh Festival

[Sheep#1]

Anyone been/planning on going? Went through today to see what all the fuss is about. Caught a couple of comedy shows, first was 5 different comedians, all just young students in their early 20s and def won't be giving up their courses for a career in stand up. Second one was just the one guy, Danny Deegan, was a free show in the back room of a pub, was only 10 of us in the audience but was really good, would recommend him. Going about the city is a bloody nightmare though, the streets were not designed for obese American tourists to waddle down, stopping to look at fake kilts and buskers playing the pipes.

I agree OWS, the whole city is full of poofers, especially at festival time.

Can't argue with that to be fair. Place was full of luvvies, yahs, poshos, hardly heard a local accent all day.

The festivals a great weekend away, espicially if you get the weather for it. Plenty comedians/gigs to go see, good atmosphere, plenty boozing to be done and everywheres open until 5am.

 

I'd love it if Aberdeen had something similar.

Always fancied giving it a try but never bothered.

Was in Princes Street Gardens yesterday as Motherwell scarfers headed up in single file from Easter Road on their summer holidays. Cue Shermans and Japs taking photos of what they thought was a bizarre show promotion with no flyers left. Like a cross between a Chinese Dragon and Chasing the Dagon.

 

Edinburgh during August is generally excellent.

Been to the festival plenty of times. My mother lives in Edinburgh so don't have to worry about rip off hotel prices.

Great fun to be had for everyone.

Doing my first official fringe show today.

Really looking forward to it.

The festival though is just London entertainers having a month away.

The locals don't tend to get involved much.

Heading down for the weekend this weekend - going to the tattoo on Saturday night.

 

Looking forward to it.

it's a great place to be, the pleasance is usually a hive of action and a great chance to drink with folk off the telly! some cheeky back and forth slaggings to be had.

Good luck chief, hope it goes well for you. Second guy we seen yesterday, was only the 10 of us there, but he said first show he did last week, was just one person there, how awkward would that be for both parties Sure you will attract bigger crowds than that though

Near 24 hour drinking ? What's not to love ? Yeah the foreigners....

Did an impromptu set in a beer garden because I was on next door an hour later. Audience weren't really there for comedy. They were just there to drink. I went on first as well. Character building though.

The next one was an audience of 7 women and 2 men. Given the content of my material I didn't think it was going to go down well. I actually thought half way through that the girl who was pissing herself almost throughout (I think she was a bit drunk) was starting to annoy the rest of the audience.

Plus I needed a huge shit the entire 10 mins and was hurrying through it so I could go and offload.

Why don't you say anything funny on here?

 

Do you keep it all for your routines?

[fatjim]

You answered your own question.

Its a cracking festival, no poofs from what I've seen, depends on the places you choose to hang out I suppose?

Edinburgh is hoaching with hoors, poofs and junkies at the best of times, this increases tenfold during August.

Went to see David Baddiel last night - would recommend.
