Guest Post by Ally

I have been asking Ally to write me a guest post about his experiences at the Edinburgh Fringe. At first he told me to get lost but I went on about it until he relented. Here is his post:

After booking our tickets at the Pleasance, we started the night by grabbing a drink at a pub just off the Royal mile. We then headed back to the Pleasance for the first show of the night, Late Night Gimp Fight. This was certainly a lively show, a mix of sketch and song, which had the audience bursting with laughter. The only man not enjoying himself was soon singled out to be serenaded to "We Know Your A Paedophile" by the cast. Andrew and I then headed for the bars at Udderbelly for another drink and a burger. 15 minutes after The Late Show was due to start we crept in at the back of a half-empty theatre only to find that it hadn't started yet. First up was Hannibal a comedian from America who amused us with drunken stories and his hatred for his cousin. Next was a mime artist with tape covering his mouth, not my type of comedy but was still enjoyable to watch. After yet another drink during the interval, we returned to a hilarious Canadian making fun of his "loud neighbours" and a right wing German who was only too willing to offend his own country and ours. Coming out just after two we decided to head back to Andrew's flat, unfortunately for us it had started to rain again. The next morning, after a sausage butty at the Babylon Cafe, we went to a play called Killing Time at the Bedlam Theatre. This EUTC production followed the conversation of two boys as Armageddon approached and was very well written and the constant referral to time and the disappearance of stars in the background all added to the sense of time running out. We then went to see Harry Hills art exhibit, My Hobby, which really opened a door into the mind of a mad man. We then headed back to Waverley and got a train home.

Sounds like they had a great time., I didn't realise that they went to a show the next morning as well.
