I haven't been for a couple of decades but always had a good time. Some top notch comedy and lots of free events.

I'd go again but don't have access to the free accommodation I used to.

A friend invited me to Edinburg. I agreed to visit. I had a look at hotels and saw they were higher than London prices and I thought what’s happening. They mentioned the Festival and Fringe. Now, I’m meant to find a gig/performance/show I’m keen to see.

Ffs, I was going to Edinburg to see the abundance green scenery and now I’m going to the Festival or Fringe. Maybe even both.

Do I normally go? Never been.

I’ve always wanted to go with that thing on Netflix put me off a bit , he was shit

How does it work do you have to buy tickets for each separate event. Do they have open Mike nights? I’d like to tell a few swinging jokes.

Did you hear about the FAB straight guy who got the job as a landscape gardener? He got caught with Pete up his bum…. Boom boom

Accommodation can be pricey in town like any Big city especially with an event on. 250,000 extra people are here during festival so Hotels ate at a premium.

Stay on outskirts take the Tram into town(25 mins) Its a great event and has lots of free shows

The Fringe is quite a thing. These days though, it’s possible for locals to ignore it. It didn’t used to be. The Fringe used to take over the whole city. Filled the streets with flyposters and spaced-out comedians who hadn’t slept for a month. It’s a shadow of its former self, but still amazing if you choose to delve in.

For the traditional Fringe experience, do three things:

• Pick a comedian you actually want to see. A full-priced show at a proper venue.

• Spend an afternoon and evening at one of the big multi-venue complexes. Get pleasantly d*unk. Take a chance on three or four shows from people you’ve never heard of based purely on which flyers make you smile. Laugh your head off in tiny sweatbox theatre rooms.

• Go to Late & Live. It starts well after midnight and goes through the night. This is where the best comedians turn up unannounced, off their faces on drink, drugs and lack of sleep, and improvise a set.

Of course he then had to leave his job….He tried his hand at felt roofing, but invariably ended up getting his asphalt on a daily basis.

I will leave know….

Thanks for your expert advise. I’ll take it on as I make my selections.

Are you going this year?

Sounds great I’m tempted but I’ve just read one of the top comedians saying if he sells out for the entire month he will still make a loss because of the accommodation prices.

AirBnB prices are high this year, because of the new Council rules that they have to be licensed - and not processing applications fast enough.

"Are you going this year?"

I honestly don’t know. Maybe? Being local, it’s not something I plan ahead. Just an option for a night out.

I guess there are reasonably priced hostels in Edinburgh like other UK cities ? I remember When Dublin got really popular When Ireland join the EUbut you could still get really hot good hostels for around €10Including breakfast and some real bargains on alcohol

Every option in Edinburgh rockets in price through August. Even the hostels. Best bet is to stay in Glasgow instead and jump on a train or bus over.

Look at staying at university halls too. They generally open up for the Fringe.

There are loads of 'free shows' under Free Fringe and PBH shows, where you can either pay what you can for a ticket (guaranteed a seat) or chance it and make a donation in a bucket at the end.

But it can be priecy.
