The Fringe Festival is Fringe Worthy

Some quirky facts that you may or may not know about the Edinburgh Fringe Festival:

1. Poles, as in the street kind, not the people who live in Warsaw, become pregnant overnight.

The poles are so flyer/poster laden that you could probably have a WWF match and fling somebody onto one of these with little injury aside from the odd paper cut.


2. Expect to see colour, vibrance and life everywhere you turn.

From the sky to the ground, it was sensory overload!!! (In a good way.)


3. Never assume that just because somebody is on the ground, that they're drunk.

4. Lionel Richie owned everything at the Fringe 2008 from stickers to badges to coasters.

5. The Scottish are to be blamed for the creation of nursing home food as their national dish

(Above: Mmm, vitamised goodness....)

Haggis, neeps and tatties - the above is actually one of the more presentable looking ones. You'd usually expect the potato and turnip to be more of a grey colour and to look mushier..... Scary to say, but it's a close call between this and Cor-hinese food.


6. Never believe when they say a show is sold out.

If you're willing to put out, the world is your oyster..... ONLY KIDDING, N.!!!


7. If you're proud to be a Scots, be sure to wear your tartan pants AND matching tartan tie to impress the ladies.

8. Be sure to always make nice to the little budgie.....
