Edinburgh Fringe Pilgrimage

Once again, me and my mate 'Big Kenny' embarked on a tour of the Edinburgh Comedy Fringe. We do this most years and usually take in eight or so, comedy shows.

This year we saw the following shows in the venues listed.

1. Abracadabra - German Humour Goes Global @ Underbelly's Hullabaloo in The Bosco at Hullabaloo
2. Monsieur Montpellier: Entertainer Extraordinaire! @ Pleasance Dome in Joker Dome
3. The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) @ Just the Tonic @ The Caves in Caves 1
4. Bamboozlement! @ Gilded Balloon Teviot in Balcony
5. Puppet Grinder Cabaret @ Assembly @ George Street in West Drawing Room
6. Russell Kane's Fakespeare: The Tragickal Saveings of King Nigel @ Pleasance Courtyard in Cellar
7. Randy's Postcards from Purgatory @ Underbelly in Iron Belly
8. Bourgeois & Maurice - Social Work @ Pleasance Courtyard in Over The Road 2

They ranged from the mildly amusing or bland .... Monsieur Montpellier and Bamboozlement! Through to the strange ..... Abracadabra. \To the energetic ..... The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (which was a version of the very long running Reduced Shakespeare Company production)and then to the  genuinely funny.....Puppet Grinder Cabaret, and Randy's Postcards from Purgatory.
But the two star selections were

• Russell Kane's Fakespeare: The Tragickal Saveings of King Nigel which was clever, funny and well performed by two talented comedians Russell Kane and Sadie Hasler.

and the winner

• Bourgeois & Maurice - Social Work. Who almost defy description, but I guess Rocky Horror meets Cabaret (kinda) is the best I can describe it. They were Fabulous! Real Stars and talents ....

And if you want to know what they are like then go to their site and look at some photo's, or better still listen to some tracks .... go on, you know your curious!
