I thought Rabbit Faced Story Soup by Laura Solon was going to be stand-up comedy and I would have to perform my don't-grab-attention routine so I wouldn't get picked on. How wrong was I! Laura came onto stage in character as Diana Lewis, a publishing agent assistant and spent the hour telling a story about the author … Continue reading Edinburgh Fringe: Rabbit Faced Story Soup

Foodies Festival
The Foodies festival is set up next to Holyrood Palace in the park and luckily when Steven and I went this afternoon it was nice, warm weather. For just £10, the ticket allows entry on all three days the festival runs (21st-23rd Aug) and is an absolute bargain for what you get! The festival was basically a … Continue reading Foodies Festival
Edinburgh Fringe: Double Art History
Double Art History was described as the entirety of modern art in an hour given by one of the Tate's directors, Will Gompertz, who had recently been to comedy classes to help his public speaking skills.

During the hour he performed many magic tricks and told us a bit about his life as a magician. It was … Continue reading Edinburgh Fringe: Ian Kendall’s 18th Birthday Magic Show
Edinburgh Fringe: Complete works of Shakespeare (abridged)
Today I went to see The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) at The Caves on Cowgate. I vaguely remember seeing this before in London and really enjoyed it. However during the show I only remembered the ending, which puzzled me as usually memories of plays I've seen before come back quite quickly. After having a look on the … Continue reading Edinburgh Fringe: Complete works of Shakespeare (abridged)
Edinburgh Fringe: Free comedy
Last night I went to the first of 9 bookings I have made for this years Edinburgh Fringe Festival: The Laughing Horse Free Comedy Selection. Admittedly, I would not have gone to this one was it not for my friends boyfriend being one of the comedians performing. Nevertheless, this was a great way to kick of … Continue reading Edinburgh Fringe: Free comedy
