I love going to the Fringe, it’s just total mayhem but good mayhem. And it’s a bonus if it’s dry and sunny.

I’ve seen some great acts on the Free Fringe.

Is there an actual Edinburgh Festival because only the Fringe gets talked about as far as I recall.

Edinburgh actually has lots of small festivals the fringe and the tattoo are the largest . The fringe is all over the city centre and the tattoo is at Edinburgh castle it’s well worth a visit

We love watching the street performers some of them have been coming to Edinburgh for years so we’ve got to know a few of them. We follow them on instagram and love that they live there lives travelling and performing all over the world. Comedy shows are also very good if you check out the Edinburgh fringe festival website it’s got a list of the bigger events that are on but sometimes the small shows that you stumble across turn out to be the best

It would be easier to give you the winning lottery numbers for 6 straight draws.

Leaparck hotel in Grangemouth is pretty nice and reasonably priced that’s as close to Edinburgh as you’ll get at a reasonable price during the fringe . Polmont train station is less than ten minutes in a taxi and it’s 20 minutes from polmont to Edinburgh Waverley on the train

I checked out hotel prices a while back and it was eye wateringly expensive - much higher than a previous visit. It's sealed the decision for us this year. I'd rather go abroad.

booking a hotel in Edinburgh during the fringe is extortionate but heading out of town is ok Falkirk area is only 20 minutes on a train and there very regular

Accommodation seems to get more expensive every year. Although I’ve had reasonably priced hotels when I’ve waited until the very last minute.

I think I will just endure the 2 hour journey, each way, this year.

We will be in and out of Fringe venues all August. I will def aim to get to the annual Naked Cabaret which is really fun if you are comfortable naked.

Always on the look out for shows which suit Fab folk. Exploring sexual or erotic themes. Exploring the body and nudity.

Steamworks is always a fun place to escape to for me.

Love to meet up with other Fab theatre loverd

If you stay in a hotel on or close to city centre they always bump prices up

Look outwith the city or even on outskirts of Edinburgh. Much cheaper and buses into town are cheap

Last time I went (a few years ago), I stayed outside of the city, then drove to a train station in one of the suburbs (parked for free) and caught the train into the centre.

Are you at Naked Cabaret. I can't wait. A real fun hour. It feels strangely safe for a very unheld close contact show

I've just seen Sex Deugs and Conscious Souls on the Free Fringe at 5pm the Street. If you are poly or have explore tantra or finding your path with an unexpected partner then this show touches on all these topics and more. I found a lot familiar themes. And Fab even gets a mention.
