One of our main reasons for being in Edinburgh was to spend some time at the Fringe Festival – and like wow what a festival, what a line up and what a buzz. Events going on everywhere at over 300+ venues all throughout the city. Then you add street performers and entertainers it becomes a never ending stream of comedy and entertainment.
We kicked off our festival playing it safe on Monday night with “Jimeoin – Is It…?” Jimeoin is a favourite in Australia and his Edinburgh show was in the style that he is famous for. He has a unique, laid back delivery style and an insightful way of observing situations and retelling the humorous side.This was not one of his best shows but he did pack out a theatre with probably up to 500 people in the audience. Our main bug bear was that he started telling a story relating to a supermarket incident, got distracted and never came back to it – he left us hanging and feeling unfinished.
Following Jimeoin we took in a late show with the Blues Brothers Live Show – this long running Edinburgh Show is a classic and had all four of us up singing and dancing although it took a bit to get Em to loosen up. We were so hyped up after this show that we were all up into the wee hours of the morning watching our iPads as none of us could sleep.
