Murder She Didn’t Write

Pleasance Courtyard, 15:45-16:45

 Deftly executed improv show featuring all the best period tropes and conveniently coloured costumes. As with the best improv, the moments when it fails are even funnier than those when it succeeds. A satisfying hour of Edwardian entertainment!

Day 2 round-up

Inadequate preparation for the Fringe season began to take its toll today, as we ran from one show to another without sufficient time for pit stops. The radishes I had tucked in my bag for snacks didn’t provide much fuel meaning I was running (literally) on empty by the time we had to dash from Cowgate to Summerhall in 15 minutes. Nonetheless we managed to get in a respectable 8 shows: The Fires Our Shoes Have Made, 12:00-13:00, C Aquila  She Sells Sea Shells, 13:30-14:30, Underbelly Cowgate Spray, 14:35-15:35, Assembly Roxy Such Filthy F*cks, 16:10-17:10, Pleasance Dome The Letter, 17:30-18:30, Pleasance Dome Bismillah, 18:40-19:40, Underbelly Cowgate Wild Women and Oneironauts, 20:50-21:20 Boar, 21:45-22:45, Pleasance Courtyard A wide variety of genres and it was hard to pick an overall best-of-day... possibly The Letter, for being something rather different to what we’ve seen so far?

Some quality stuff; pick of the day was Knot, which it turned out won a (well-deserved) award.
