Edinburgh Festival

[RumAppleGinger]

Anyone seen anything good? I'm a total comedy geek and try and see as much as possible, both adult and kids shows. This year I'm on maternity leave so have loads of spare time to see stuff but no a lot of cash so hanging out on the Royal Mile with the DCs and attempting to be a bit more picky about shows although I'm almost certain I'll crack and end up breaking out the credit card . Had saved up through the year so have tickets for Adam Hills, Trevor Noah, Alex Horne, David O'Doherty, Bridget Christie and Katherine Ryan. Have seen Stewart Lee and Jason Byrne, Brendon Burns already.
Made the most of the 2 for 1 days and preview shows with the kids. Loved The Cat in The Hat, The Scarecrows Wedding and Morgan & West's kid show.

Any recommendations or general chat for me?

We saw a funny comedian at one of the Pleasance venues, but I can't remember his name. I think it was Jimmy McGhie (or similar).

Saw Ali mcGregor's jazzamatazz on Sunday. Singing kid friendly songs in a jazz style at george square. Everyone encouraged to get up and dance!

Blimey I wonder what prompted 2 deletions in a 9 month old thread.

It was apparently a student doing a survey about arts stuff in edinburgh, it was a double post. It seemed a bit of an odd premise the way it was worded so I didn't click on the link.

I saw Potted Potter a few years ago and loved it. However as I live in Edinburgh I generally avoid the Fringe.
If cash is tight there is the Free Fringe - people performing for a donation. As you can expect it's hit and miss but I've seen a couple of good ones
