Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2019

[CaledonianGonzo]

She is. But she is also mates with Josie Long and if the conversation ever happened to come up...

I think that was also specifically in regard to some fucking horrific ironic sexism on here.

[typeforty]

So... Edinburgh, eh?

[DrGreggles]

Next (final big) site update next Thursday, the 16th.

[An Actual Propeller]

Can't see a Sam & Tom show listed.

Sam Nicoresti and Tom are doing solo shows, dunno whether they're doing a double act this year.

[JCR]

Kitson isn't in the midnight slot at the Stand, unless he's just on for the second half of the month:

That's the app available.

Look how she's grown in only a year:

[CaledonianGonzo]

Kieran Hodgson!

Great opportunity to finally see Lance and Maestro.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Latest email from The Stand says that all their Fringe shows are now on sale.

Traverse?

[WestHill]

Great opportunity to finally see Lance and Maestro.

Anyone seen French Exchange?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Nope - I think I might do all 3, but it's the latter two that are bolted on.

My planner is starting to get stacked for the first week. Just need to know where / when Lucy Pearman is going to show up.

[WestHill]

My thoughts exactly!

She's on the Monkey Barrel flyer but don't no anything else.

[DrGreggles]

Great opportunity to finally see Lance and Maestro.

French Exchange and Lance are the ones I need to see.
Shame he's on at such a peak time, as I'd love to see his other shows again too.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Anyone seen French Exchange?

I saw French Exchange when he did the trilogy in one night a few years ago, going off my recollection it was a little weaker than the other two but certainly not bad. French Exchange/Lance/Maestro all fit together really well as an overall arc for want of a better way of putting it.

[DrGreggles]

Found Footage Festival is back and always good late night fun.

[WestHill]

Thanks for the tip, that FFF looks fun!

Anyone got any theatre recommendations? I want to try and mix it up (although my schedule is already looking packed!)

[CaledonianGonzo]

Traverse?

Or not.

Summerhall then?

[DrGreggles]

My Fringe calendar can only be described as "a work in progress".
Luckily I've colour-coded it for extra clarity.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Was hoping that Lazy Susan would reprise their show from last year.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Gadd's in the theatre section:

[Seagullsim]

Is that everything announced now then? Amazed that some festival regulars aren't there this year - no Janey Godley, Phill Jupitus, Stephen Bailey, Lucy Pearman, Jimmy McGhie etc....

[DrGreggles]

Is that everything announced now then?

There's always a few late additions*, but that's everything that's going to be in the programme.

*Kitson's notoriously late

[CaledonianGonzo]

Did anyone see Jena Friedman last time she was here?

[CaledonianGonzo]

When did they start putting Audience Participation warnings on some of the show listings?

When did they start putting Audience Participation warnings on some of the show listings?

Natalie Palamides was robbed of a nomination but her legacy shall be commemorated forever in the introduction of Audience Participation warnings in the Fringe guide. :)

[JCR]

Kitson says he has no venue, time slot or show, but feels like he still might come. If there is a show, he will announce it.

10am again then!
