THE EDINBURGH FRINGE FESTIVAL!
It’s only the largest arts and cultural event on the planet! This year the Edinburgh Fringe Festival is being totally dominated by an influx of hilariously funny Aussie talent – with everything from bogans with bingo to Australia’s Most Wanted comedian (Chopper). Fringe 2012 is set to be full of wonders from Down Under, all just a short trip up the country to that most pleasant of places, the Scottish capital. If ever there was a time to visit Edinburgh (and get out of London during the Olympics) then Fringe is the time to do it – with four weeks of side-splittingly funny non-stop comedy and parties that will make your head spin.
Everyone from established Fringe legends like Adam Hills and The Boy With Tape On His Face will be sharing stage space and time with those acts looking for an epic Edinburgh debut. Check out our list of some of the best Australian artists that will be performing at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival. And don’t worry – if you don’t have the time, cash or inclination to head up north – a good array of our Antipodean jokers have Fringe preview shows planned for London, so there’s no excuse to miss this cracking content.
