Review of Dan Nightingale is Trying His Best Not to be a Dick, Fringe 2014

August 8, 2014 by Guest Reviewer Leave a Comment

The odds may not be stacked in Dan Nightingale’s favour as he prepares for his awkward tea-time slot in a stuffy room in the Pleasance Dome conservatory. The heat is challenging. The venue is confusing (the Pleasance Dome is at Potterrow rather than The Pleasance). And 5.30 is an awkward time of day, too late […]

Review of Piff the Magic Dragon in … Jurassic Bark, Fringe 2012

August 6, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Piff is probably the only magic dragon with a Chihuahua assistant in the Fringe festival. I caught his show last year and his star has subsequently grown. Last year I queued on a grimy flight of stairs between apartments in order to get my dose of dragon – this year I waited in line to […]

A charming pink and green cafe with a clear plant-based foodie focus. @heyplantbae is one of the surprisingly common jewels on Easter Road and is absolutely worth visiting. https://buff.ly/4a7qnfB
If you don't fancy the crowd intensity of the #christmasmarket or the prices then @iceangels_edin is maybe 10 minutes walk away, about a third cheaper for a third more (well, based on my thorough crêpe testing) and they have a #santa mailbox. There's even Christmas Trees for sale up the road. An alternative evening out.
Somewhere new for #sugarsunday as Girdy visits @marias_kitchen21 for a delicious Italian limoncello bread and butter pudding.
The #christmasmarket at @edinburghpalette is on the third floor and open until 4pm.
A trip to @thenightmarketuk #edinburgh #christmas gig. Time spent with @mattblackjewellery , @kamaveganbakes , @chunkycatsushi and @mad_potters_tea_party , et al.
Girdy wraps St Andrew's Day week with modern Scottish - sipping whisky and chowing down on @one.canon's "chicken pot noodle" pizza!
