Hi all, heading over to Edinburgh today and in dire need of a good show to go watch. So if anyone has any recomendations please tell me the name of the show or a link or a phone number. That would be great

Don't do it! lol

I've avoided most of it, Edinburgh city centre fringe time sends my blood pressure sky high!

Is it bad or something? Can you recommend a show from there?

No sorry I didn't mean it that way.

When you have to live and move about here, and thousands of people on top of the usual tourists come it gets a little... crouded shall we say.

I've not been to a show in a while, try the Stand Comedy club. Its near St Andrews Square, York Place actually. Heading down towards the port of Leith....

You might want to take a gander at:

What sort of show you looking to see? Comedy? Theatre?

You can also see some free street performances if you walk along the Royal Mile.

I must admit that this year the Festival has kind of passed me by- havent seen any shows whilst last year I went to see about 4 or 5 shows including Craig Hill, Jim Eoin and The Odd Couple with Bill Bailey and Alan Davies in it.

Might be worth just heading to one of the main venues (such as the Pleasance), having a few drinks and just going to see a random show.

I walked down there yesterday and by the time I got to the cowgate I had 7 leaflets in my hands! There was a really funny comedian with a guitar on the corner at the Bank Bar

I'd suggest Patrick Monahan's comedy sow at the Underbelly, i laughed my butt off.

Give "Perki & Mann's - Spooked" a go!

Saw they're preview show in bedford, before they went to the festival...

Very intelligent humor!
