It’s Edinburgh Fringe time again! The one month the local community is waiting for all year. In addition to the year-round annoyance of Spanish tourists aimlessly wandering up and down a tramless Princess Street there is now a good helping of amateur dramatic productions overcrowding The Royal Mile, too. Cafes are full of drama students whispering – no, never whispering – always at full throttle, telling the world and her Mutter about their made-up reviews on fi ctional websites and how they know someone who once wrote a sitcom “that almost got commissioned by Channel 5”. Like comedy itself visiting the Edinburgh Fringe is all about timing. Come early in the run and marvel at shows that are still rough round the edges but performed with passion, hope and excitement. Come later in the run if you like your shows well run in and your performers disillusioned and teetering on the brink of a nervous breakdown. Whenever you come - enjoy the unique atmosphere of the Edinburgh Fringe, the world’s greatest arts festival, and please make sure you don’t slip on one of those discarded fl yers! No Surrender! Henning Wehn - Henning is appearing at 9.15pm in The Caves ONLY £5 Family Friendly Sample Show See bits from a number of shows within the venue, and maybe the odd guest from elsewhere.
