I have been up to Edinburgh, for both a social visit, and too see some shows at the "fringe", and unusually I took a camera ..... I usually forget! I have lived in Edinburgh for over five years in the past, and still consider it to be the most beautiful and friendly large city in the UK and Europe.
I have good friends there, and any visits is both an excuse to see these friends, and visit a city I love. I saw a number of shows which I list in no order "1.Sammy J in the Forest of Dreams", 2."Ha Ha Hamlet!", 3."Umbrage Swain & The Magical Diamond of Ramtutiti", 4."The Golden Age of Magic", 5."The Axis of Awesome Comeback Spectacular", and 6."The Return of the Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre" .... the best of these were easily 1, 3, 5 and 6 and my personal favorite was .... well 3 and 6.
If forced into a corner, despite strong competition from the "Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre", the fact is that I was kissed by the incredibly beautiful and talented Millie Reeves from the cast of "Umbrage Swain & The Magical Diamond of Ramtutiti", which means that its a show I will remember for a LONG TIME ! I got the kiss, and free tickets for her show, for offering her a chair whilst I was in a "Don Quixote" mode in the Underbelly bar, which only shows that being nice has its own rewards!
I will blog on Edinburgh later (with Pictures!!!), but I will leave the last word in support of Umbrage Swain & The Magical Diamond of Ramtutiti, which is a hidden gem of a show, well acted and written, and with two talented and beautiful girls, ably supported by three funny guys ..... my surprise hit for Edfringe 2008
