This year I saw 26 shows at the Edinburgh festivals, mostly Fringe but a couple of talks from the Book festival also. I've had years where I've done quite a lot of shows but not since the start of Covid, and never whilst I've also been working full-time. It was very full-on but absolutely fantastic and I'm going to try and do similar in future years! I've got a few tips for future me and for you if you come to a future Fringe (if you do hit me up for a drink), and I've included short (Bluesky length) reviews...
