Top tip for a good read
Last year I read fringe: seeing it, doing it, surviving it - a complete guide to the edinburgh fringe when it first came out. At the time I should have posted a review on Amazon but work and life somehow overtook me!
Anyway, I happened to pick the book up the other day and started flicking through it again. For any performer or artist wishing some inside knowledge about performing at the Edinburgh Fringe this book is written from a performer’s perspective - this is a must read. What I liked best was the humour and youthful wit around an autobiographical journey by two performers, James Aylett and James Lark. The language is wonderfully easy allowing you to sail through the information and take notes.
Now while you may think this is a book only for performers and artists, let me say here and now, it is not. If I put my “public” hat on I would still say that this is an enlightening read allowing you to see another perspective of the fringe in its wider sense.
A lighthearted and entertaining read!
