Three Weeks

It's three weeks until the Fringe programme comes out!!

You can order your programme here: http://www.edfringe.com/ (or choose to become a Friend which saves you money if you see a lot of shows!).

You can get a few ideas (and book selected shows) from here:

http://www.assemblyfestival.com/ Most exciting is Hot Tub With Kurt and Kristen (I hope it's on when I'm there!) - Kurt Braunohler is also doing a solo show! Yay!

There's a few shows you can book all ready here too: http://www.underbelly.co.uk/webpages/edinburgh/index.php (eep Frisky and Mannish - Pop Centre Plus).

The Pleasance have been 'Pleztweaking' on Twitter and have revealed the following people will be doing shows:

I'm most excited about James Acaster's solo debut, Tim Key's return and will hopefully see Thom Tuck too.

I'm not for a moment suggesting that http://www.edcomfest.com/ is the only place to look. There are so many more places to see shows than the big four! That being said they do tend to race to get the shows out and onsale so you can generally find out more sooner.

I've been checking here too http://www.freefringe.org.uk/ but no details yet. I'm eager to see what shows Robin Ince is doing (other than the one I all ready have tickets for - his angry show with Michael Legge at the Stand).

There's yet another week to wait for the Book Festival details (http://www.edbookfest.co.uk/the-festival) and their tickets don't go on sale until June 26th (my anniversary so I'll definitely remember to book! I've missed Lady Antonia Fraser twice now!)

I can't wait to have the programme arrive and to be able to start planning another lovely trip to Edinburgh! In the mean time there's checking Twitter and the websites above and dreaming, hoping and speculating!
