FESTIVAL INNOCENTS
A--._ . . .._1
Trains to Edinburgh in August are thick with the stench of hope. as wide- eyed performers proffer hopes. dreams and hard-
. earned cash. They wander
-. i : _;:,irw: the Royal Mile. distributing flyers and watch. crushed. as strangers use them to wrap up chewing gum. What‘s not to love about the enthusiasm of someone who thinks fame and fortune are hiding on the Meadows?
This isn’t just a moan about how drearily predictable it is when the rain soaks you as you're soaking up the Festival atmosphere. If it were up to The List ALL weather would be banned during August, meaning we‘d hear no more grouching about how stiflingly hot the venues can get, as well as the quips about how Edinburgh gets great weather for ducks, fish. tadpoles etc.

Bare faced cheek?
Fringe veteran comedian Byrne shows us the years of abuse in Edinburgh every August don't do a be}; any harm at all by getting frisky With his adder. We heard he thought it sh0uld have been a king cobra but he didn't want to show off.

Bums on seats?
'No nuddy in the show. it's just on the file“ we have Oh good authority. Amos could have revitalised the whole chat show model by Wittering on insighttully with assorted Fringe dilettantes sans togs.
The Sevun Deadly Sins Letting it all hang out? The spooky naked mannequms in the photos fOr this opera had us fooled Oh the rec0rd we’ve heard there is a wee bit of scantily Clad action but as this is opera we‘re sure it's all very tasteful and intrinsic to the plot.
m 00 the Peale Revealing all down wider? You wouldn't get to see this much flesh up at the Western nudie bar f0r 212. so this is a bargain for skin seekers. Whether the ‘artistes' at the Western can bend their genitals into the shape of hamburgers
The Laclylioyss of Bangkok
No nudes is good news? Despite their reputation for SEMJC,’ titillatiCn. the lad/boys do in fact keep ever/thing under wraps. Nothing like a bit of mystery to get yOu going, even if it's JUSI a little. That's disgusting!
