First Fringe
Wow! Only saw 8 shows in roughly a week, tied this in with my first time to Scotland (and first international trip in ages) and general touring/day trips. What a journey! I loved the outpouring of creativity, DIY ingenuity, and the utmost humanness I've seen in every crevice of this glorious city. Desparately needed in the age of AI delusionment. Might make this a biennial trek!
Shows (roughly in order of ⭐️'s)
- Lou Wall: Where Are All the Tall Grandma's?
- Demi Adejuyigbe Sells Out
- Zach & Viggo: Thunderflop
- Dru Cripps: Juicy Bits
- Stamptown
- Katie Boyle: Irish Immigrant
- Sodom
- ADHD Crowdwork Show (the worst of the bunch and it's not remotely close)
Also sought out tours with living history actors, pub music every night in a different venue, and went to a ceilidh at Piper's Rest which aren't technically Fringe shows but contributed heavily to the vibe for me. What an outstanding time!
