So during festival month, they say the population of Edinburgh, normally half a million, doubles (I'll let you do the math). The Fringe catalogue is about 350 pages. Each show is about an hour long, and if you go to a lot of shows, the costs will add up. It seems ten pounds ($17) is a common price for shows. Here are some somewhat random show titles to give you a flavor, although these selections are biased towards the odd.
Children's Shows: Potted Sherlock, Dean Friedman's Smelly Feet, The Comedy of Errors, Pirate Gran.
Comedy: Billie was Tap Dancing for the Seagulls, Booze Bombs and Haggis, Come Heckle Christ, A Controversial Title in Order to Sell Tickets, The Sketch Show That Cannot be Named for Legal Reasons
Events: Literary Pub Crawl (which we did), Saints and Sinners Walking Tour (which we will do today)
Exhibitions: Jewelry of the World, Urban Twist Papercut Artwork, Scottish Landscape Photographers, West End Street Fair
Music: A Tribute to Cole Porter, Bach on Guitar, Footstomping Traditional Scottish Music
Musicals and Opera: The Onion of Bigotry A History of Hatred, Funny Girl, The Pirates of Penzance
Spoken Word: Arrest That Poet!, Arthur Conan Doyle Experience, Brave and Free Traditional Tales of Scotland, Hard Travelling with Woody (Guthrie)
Theater: Star Wars A One Man Play, The Lord of the Rings a One Man Play, Government Inspector, A History of Falling Things.
