A fuller, more reflective blog post to follow but time for my Edinburgh Fringe top shows after a fun week.
Best Theatre was Every Brilliant Thing for taking me on a journey through depression, laughter & tears.
Best Theatre runners up: The Christians for discussing church division & Jesus Queen of Heaven for raw spirituality.
Best Comedy was NewsRevue for a returning format but up to date, topical, musical comedy.
Best Comedy runners up were Daniel Sloss for discussing death wisely & Ed Gamble for neat free show.
Misses included: Invisible City as I didn't quite get the lemons. Tiernan for unstructured rant.
Other Edinburgh tips: Scottish Parliament for engaging free tour. Mosque Kitchen for tasty curry.
Next blog post will reflect on brilliant first Fringe experience, an awesome country/culture & lovely conversations with friends.
24 Shows, 22 Venues, 12 friends, 8 days, 1 great festival & Edinburgh. #EdFringe over (for me) for a year.
