The home stretch

EDINBURGH!  These weeks are flying by but any individual day feels incredibly long in an entirely awesome way:  shows, gatherings, singalongs, schmoozing, drinks, dancing…

Since our last update, we received a few more lovely reviews, in Time Out London (we’re also a critic’s pick from them) and Scotland on Sunday.  We’ve had excellent crowds and some very special guests in the audience, including Denise Van Outen and Malcolm McLaren.  We also caught Mr. McLaren’s show History is for Pissing on, which was both extremely funny and thought-provoking.

We have a few recommendations for shows to catch in the last week:

Dead Cat Bounce–Wired: These friends of ours from Dublin are tearing up the Fringe with 5-star reviews, sold-out crowds, and barnstorming performances at Spank and Late ‘n’ Live.  They’re exceptionally and maddeningly talented but don’t hold that against them, just go and laugh like crazy.

Sirqus Alfon–Eurotrash: This show is really hard to describe and unlike anything else we’ve ever seen before…four Lycra-clad Swedes perform ’90s dance tunes while upgrading themselves via computer.  It is beyond hilarious.  Plus you get magical 3-D rainbow glasses.
We hope we have more updates from our last 8 shows…
