Edinburgh Blog 5.5 – Shows I will miss

Each year I leave the festival with a small pile of leaflets for shows I would love to have seen. They are usually linked to people I have met at the Fringe Promoters breakfast or my CGO Surgeries.  I will have missed some gems. So for those with space on their dance-card here is a random selection.

30bird.org – Domestic Labour: A study in Love – saw a scratch.

Casual Violence – The Great Fire of Nostril – a fly-man who talked to me

Pandora Productions – The Jammy Dodgers – met at a CGO Space session

23 shows out of 3000+ that have caught my attention, introduced themselves to me , or been on my “wish I had more time” list.  If you choose to see any of them and enjoy – please let me know

I’m off to Belfast now for YMT:UK Triptych Project, then back for a couple more days of mad catch up of shows with Kath.

Cheers
