MUSEUM AFTER HOURS: FRIDAY FRINGE TAKEOVERS
Night-time Fringe showcase lights up the National Museum of Scotland
I f you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to have a night at the museum, or just really like the 2006 movie with Ben Stiller, then the Museum After Hours Friday Fringe Takeover is where you want to be in August. Each Friday during the Fringe, you can let loose after a week of festival-going by exploring the incredible surroundings of the National Museum of Scotland under the cover of darkness – with the added bonus of no screaming kids running around.
Each takeover includes 12 acts on three different stages: the main stage in the Grand Gallery, the Hawthornden stage in Hawthornden Court and the Space Stage in the intimate Earth in Space Gallery. Performing across the three nights are highlights from the 2018 Fringe all under one roof, such as comedian Jessie Cave, Australian cabaret singer Ali McGregor (pictured), glamorous drag queen Gingzilla and theatrical circus performers Cirque Berserk!, plus many more.
In between watching top-class acts, you can enjoy street food or a tipple (or two) at one of the numerous bars dotted throughout the venue. You can also keep yourself entertained with fun temporary tattoo stalls, an 80s themed dress-up box or a photo booth which makes your pic into a classic album cover. Giving you more bang for your buck is the bonus of free entry to Rip It Up: The Story of Scottish Pop, which usually costs £10. The exhibition is a survey of Scottish music from the 1950s until the present day and includes relics from all your favourite Scot-pop stars.
