Edinburgh Festival a Photo Montage

The Edinburgh Fringe is a celebration of the brilliant, the vapid and the just plain stupid ..... this selection of photos from the High St (outside St Giles) and the surrounding areas illustrates the methods used to either gain money, or publicise shows.

This man is trying to hawk tickets .....


As is "Slim" Elvis


This 'Trad Jazz' band were self publicising their own "tribute to George Melly"


Whilst "Indiana Jones" was 'passing the hat'.....

Older attractions such as the statute of 'Greyfriars Bobby' remain eternally available...

.... but back to the Fringe

A Japanese mime artist


And a street ticket promoter getting no interest goes 'extreme' ...


While others just get ahead ...


and even Shakespeare needs a hand

However off the main street, its often the venues that are of interest .....
such as the UdderBelly
This venue tours the country for festivals such as Brighton but is a star of Edinburgh Fringe as well.
