Edinburgh

Just a quick blog on the Edinburgh Fringe, once I've digested all my notes I will put a more comprehensive run down up. Overall it was a great festival. The weather (for once) was really nice, warm most days, even hot at times and only one evening of rain. This is all very important for a good festival experience - there is nothing worse than being damp all day and then sitting in a stuffy little venue watching a show.
I saw 26 shows in total and only 2 of them were total pants, everything else was really good. Highlights for me include the wonderful Daniel Kitson 'It's always right now until later', Grin Iron 'Decky Does a Bronco', 'Smoke and Mirrors', Idiots of Ants and Celebrity Autobiography.
Lots of work to catch up on now and lots of shows to follow up for 2011.
Simon, Rob and Fiona are now up at the festival and to be honest I'm a little jealous - as nice as it is to be home the fringe is an amazing place to be and I do have withdrawals when I first come back. Bring on 2011.
