Not been to Edinburgh Fringe / Edinburgh Festival before, it's a treat for my forthcoming 40th birthday, thank you the wife! It was going to be a surprise (sort of a surprise, I have been hinting I want to go for the past few couple of years) but as it looks like events are on sale already we needed to start picking some shows to go to. Is this right? Looks to me like A LOT is already on sale on edfringe.com1, is there more to be announced? Clare keeps getting emails saying "It's due to be officially launched on the 1st of June" and so on. What is still to be announce? We have dived right in already and panick bought three shows that looked good, looked limited (ie only on one day that we could make), looked like they might sell out, were people we had not seen, and were people we really wanted to see... so where do we go next? Do we book tickets for everything in advance?
Amazingly, Stewart Lee is doing a show and we are probably not going to see him. Not amazing that he is doing a show, but amazing that he is my favourite comedian, Edinburgh would seem to be a natural place to see him, he fits in with our dates, and we are probably not going to go. He's doing a show that we have already seen this year (Carpet Remnant World) and there is too much else to choose from... Richard Herring's podcast show looks brilliant from the previews2, I hope the lineup of guests is as good when it is in Edinburgh...
