Enjoyable show by the man the brought us Star Wars Trilogy, you guessed it, by one man in one hour. Picture is of Paul sitting in a massive astroturf chair in the bar outside…
Festival at last
Other than an outdoor performance of Shakespeare’s ‘As you like it’ a couple of weeks back, my festival going has been a bit non existant this year… So today it was off to the Foodie Festival for some fine food – and meeting up with Nicci Kitchin before seeing brother…
Final festival fling
Friday night saw us at the Chinese State Circus in a big tent at the Meadows. Wow, its a long time since I’ve seen such amazing acrobatics. I was in awe at some of the agility and strength on display. So much so that I kept clapping, mesmerised by the…
Comedy at last
Saw some great comedy on the works night out at Jason Byrne. Good stuff – maybe I’m a cynic though as I’m sure his adlibs were rehearsed… Mind trickery from Chris Cox beforehand was okay but nothing hugely original.
Proper Ballet
Maybe I’m getting old, but I was hugely, and unexpectantly entertained by Giselle at the Edinburgh Playhouse last night. Now it wouldn’t normally be my first choice to go and see ballet, but this classical piece was captivating. Reading the programme was a must though otherwise I would not have…
2008 Fringe Efforts
This year has been a bit of a slow start for our Festival Fringe going this year. Just seem to be busy doing other things! Anyway – we have seen a couple of things so far with a few more booked in too. First off at St George’s West was…
Another festival fades away
We’re getting to old for this. A day of cycling followed by a chinese – great that we can justify it after the cycling 🙂 – followed by getting a taxi into town at quarter to eleven! Nearly didn’t go because we were both a bit bushed. Was well worth…
Karen Dunbar
Dunno, she was funny but not as funny as I had hoped. Maybe because she didn’t do many of her characters from Chewin’ the Fat – of which I’m a fan. Maybe we’ve been spoilt by all the great international comedy available that when it comes to one of our…
That's no moon, its a space station!
One-man Star Wars Trilogy does exactly what it says on the tin. Charlie Ross whizzes through the original 3 Star Wars movies in about an hour. A must for Star Wars fans as you will marvel out how he can bring such a vast cast of characters, vehicles, droids, aliens,…
Korean Streetdance
Broadening my horizons yet again with the fusion of traditional Korean dancing and some stunningly acrobatic, gymnastic dancing from Myosung. A troop of about 20 performers did dances like sketches in a fast paced TV comedy show – one minute there would be 4 hip hopping street performers spinning on…
