Backstage

Taking a hiatus over Fringe 2019 but will still be there seeing shows and enjoying the best arts festival in the world!

[Ben Caplan @bencaplanmusic]

Coming July 22! I'm starting a live YouTube Series in which I speak to artists, entrepreneurs, thinkers, activists, and whoever else I want to talk it out with. We'll go live every Wednesday at 4pm AST. Find the link to the premiere below. See you there!

@SimonEvans25 Simon, I couldn’t wait once I had started watching so binged the lot. I loved everything about the show....it’s the highlight of the year and it will be hard to beat. Hope to see you in Edinburgh soon!

*2021, even. I blame three weeks at home for that typo.

Very sad that Fringe 2020 isn’t going ahead but understand and agree with the @edfringe decision. Here’s to a bigger Fringe 2020. I’m @GaryDaniell in the interim and would love a follow to keep in touch with all your plans. Edinburgh misses you and is waiting....

@bencaplanmusic On another matter, when are you coming back to the Fringe? Applications opened this week........

@bencaplanmusic This phrase was in the show 'Manhunt:Unabomer' and was cited as one of the linguistic anomalies the detective used to track down Ted Kacynski. TK used the original variant ' You can't eat your cake and have it too' which stood out in his letters. At least in show.....

Man's painful 36-hour erection after coming off medication - Metro. This feels like a Fringe 2020 show in the making. https://t.co/logPpO9XFs

@FringeGuru Give it 10 minutes into the show......

I was very deftly wrong footed by @jamesmcnicholas The Boxer. It looked like one kind of Fringe show but was so much more. Hugely funny, heart warming and crafted with charm and sincerity. Check it out! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

@BenVanDerVelde City Restaurant next to Festival Theatre it the chippy at the end of the Grassmarket before Cowgate starts. I miss Central too!

‘Half the Man’ by @MichaelLivesley is a sharp and insightful debut Fringe hour. A show about understanding yourself and making change. Very funny and engaging. Check it out @freefringefest ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

[Backstage @backstagefringe]

Next up is @MichaelLivesley and ‘Half the Man’ @freefringefest Looking forward to this one!

[Backstage @backstagefringe]

Just experienced ‘I’m a Phoenix, Bitch’ by @BryonyKimmings and it was stunning. An intensely personal,creative, innovative telling of a part of her story. See it as soon as you can. Outstanding. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Late start for me this year but I have made the right choice.

[Backstage @backstagefringe]

@thesammyhannah Very much so. It will no doubt get some people talking, maybe confuse some others and fool a few but it is very cheeky.
