BIG fat BRIBE Here at List Towers we’re not above a wee bribe to make us sit up and take notice of a show. Here’s some of our favourites the postie has brought so far

The rather creepy, polystyrene head of William Shakespeare from SEVEN CRAZY BITCHES. Assembly Hall, 3–27 Aug (not 14, 24). A box of Jamie Laing’s watermelon sour Candy Kittens sweeties from BRUTAL CESSATION. Assembly George Square, 3–28 Aug (not 14).

A piñata full of sex toys (yes, they actually sent this) from SMUT SLAM CABARET. Sweet Grassmarket, 8–10, 15–17, 22–24 Aug. Some ‘delicious’ blood, phlegm and bile ice lollies from AN EVENING WITH THE PLAGUE DOCTOR. Edinburgh Dungeon, 4, 11, 18, 25 Aug.
