If you haven’t seen Jonathan Hellyer as Livinia in Slutty Livin’ yet then get yourself over to The Pleasance Upstairs at 11pm. Standing ovations every night - should tell you all you need to know - it’s filthy, it’s funny and his impersonations are AMAZING!

The space outside Ocean Terminal won’t be completely empty this year, it will be home to the Mela (along with the Ocean Kitchen and the Vue Cinema at OT). This runs from the 25th to 31st of August, and looks very interesting.

Some good recommendations in here. If you like scary, late-night, gothic stuff, then I’d recommend THE MARGINS over at Venue 45. It’s from the same group that scared the crap out of a lot of people with DARK NORTH two years ago. Should be good.

Whilst all mentioned so far sound great I’m surprised to see that you haven’t mentioned “Lucky You” @ Assembly Hall- the theatre adaptation of Carl Hiaasen’s bestselling novel premieres this summer and is one of the funniest plays at the Fringe! Check out the website for more details

Hey guys,

I’ve made an interactive Google Map for this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival - all the venues are featured (or will be soon) and users can add features that are missing. You can easily see where each venue is and it might help when planning where to stay / transport options etc. There’s a little box for each venue to get routing instructions too.

http://www.beatsdesign.co.uk/fringe2008/ - I made this as I couldn’t find anything similar on the web and I make no money from it (no ads etc!). Take a look if it sounds useful Smile

Phil - Beats! Design

Michael Barrymore at the opening of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Surviving Spike at the Assembly Music Hall George Street Edinburgh on the 31 July 2008. Might be a good one to see as Terry Lubbock father of Stuart Lubbock who was found at the entertainer’s home in 2001, plans to be at the opening of the Fringe Festival. Mr Lubbock has continued a campaign to fine the truth about his son Stuart’s tragic death. Stuart was found to have horrific internal injuries.
