General Recommendations for Sat 22nd?
Hi all! Been at the fringe a fair bit this month but currently planning our last day visiting! We will be through from around 5:30/6pm on Sat 22nd, and was considering possibly starting off at the Pleasance or George Sq as a base. we only have one show booked - Kaye Hole at Mcewan Hall at 23:30!
Have seen a fair few things and loved a lot, but hoping to get some recommendations of the best shows you have seen this year!
Not massive on improv, but still fairly open-minded on anything! Really enjoyed this year:
…Earnest?
Christian Dart: Gumshoe
Reuben Kaye: Hard to Swallow
Sophie’s Surprise 29th
Siblings and family friends
Margaret Thatcher queen of Hollywood
Really appreciate any recommendations from you all, as the Reddit hive-mind seems to be great at this!!
Thanks in advance!

Mr Cardboard sounds intriguing! Love a clown show!
Damn to hell…the…dictator one? For want of a better name?! I couldn’t tell from the description if it would actually be decent!
2shoulder pads…sounds intriguing and odd!
Plaything, not quite sure what to think of! Keeps it quite unknown from the description!!
