My Edinburgh Fringe recommendations...

SHOWS TO SEE THIS FRINGE

Morning!

As I am currently en route to the Edinburgh Fringe for another month of madness, here are my top recommendations of shows to see this Edinburgh. I am  sure I have missed a few obvious ones but none-the-less do check as many of these artists out.

An asterix means they are international and not UK based so more incentive to see them! If they are in italics it means I have directed. If underlined it means I have actually seen the show and can vouch categorically that it is good fun.

I'd recommend picking a couple from each list so you have a little bit of variety to your fringe.

Take a punt. Take a risk. Don't just see the big names or the artists that have had all the great PR and appeared in all the top tens. That's not what the fringe is about.
