Can't mind begbie battering his wife in Trainspotting, not read it for a few years right enough The 'Inter Shitty' chapter of Trainspotting is first-person narrated by Begbie and contains a very graphic description of him assaulting June, his pregnant girlfriend.

Arch Stanton Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Coeliacs are always looking for gluten free ingredients to make pasta. There's even one made from fish penis. Spoiler It's called ling weenie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one. There's a harrowing account of him assaulting his then girlfriend who has just had a miss carriage in Skagboys, its fucking brutal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leith Green Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Frankie Boyle last night - very good as always. Jordan Gray tonight - imo the breakthrough act of this years fringe. My wife got the tickets, but I was popping my cherry on a trans comedy gig and I have to say it was genuinely excellent. Overall a fantastic gig, and she wont be playing to audiences of 100 much longer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'WellDel Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Going to take a wee trip through to Edinburgh with the Mrs tomorrow. Bit last minute and nothing booked. Any recommendations for a comedy gig that we could just rock up to and pay on the door?. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final reviews from last night - Baby Wants Candy were pretty decent, but probably wont see them next year as we have seen them before and it felt like we had "done it". My wife is really into dance and had booked us in to see Beats on Pointe - a mix of Street, Breakdance, Commercial, Ballet and old style dance. My son and I were "sceptical" but as we all know, the Fringe throws curveballs every time - this was amazing, these guys gave a solid hour of non stop entertainment, standing ovation at the end - if you get the chance, catch it - brilliant ! Bin Watch - no rats spotted, but hope you have a cold, in some areas its really stinking 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a fair few recommendations on here, however its the last night for many acts so you might be better to book online. I suppose if you wanted to just take a flyer, head to The Pleasance and check the box office, there is always something available and even if its crap theres a bar ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, here's the Fringe ad for this, check the blurb from Stewart Lee. Awful, toe curling idea for a show. Beyond pish patter. The sort of show that oddballs and outcast student types will find hilarious.

Not sure how much of it was his act and how much was real! My wife and I thought the exact same thing. A real bipolar schizophrenic vibe from the guy but genuinely unsure how much was an act and how much was the real him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 The Guardian misses the mark quite often for me, and provides absolute cannon fodder for "woke lefties" culture war wankers. If fringe performers were 99% white, then that is a problem. The audience is quite literally people choosing to go or not go with complete and total freedom to do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland is 90 odd percent white then when you add in the tourists who will be largely white what does she expect? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Given we know the wider societal issues that impact more proportionally to those who aren’t white you are probably also need to be considering economic factors that make going to the fringe(even for free shows) unaffordable for some. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Diego De la Vega Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Jerry Sadowitz and John Kearns for me so far. Will also have a day in with my son and go see some kids comedians and the circus tent in the meadows, Haven't made it to the circus tent with him so far but we saw a show in the EICC last year and he loved it so fingers crossed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
