So, the new Fringe programme is out. It’s the new Edinburgh Fringe Festival that will run from the 3rd till the 25th of August. I really can’t wait for it to get all started (the shows, the rush, the people, the fun…), but there was a really bad news in the pages of this year’s programme… Adam Hills is not having his own shows! He is taking a break from the Fringe! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo! If you have never seen him live before, I pitty you (sorry?), and if you have never heard of him before… well, I pitty you even more (so sorry…). Adam Hills is such an amazing comedian, that not having him around this year’s Fringe it will be a real loss… plus I won’t be able to stalk him! Sigh…

On the good news front, though, he will, apparently, be around Edinburgh for some dates, as he is doing four shows with his mate Jason Byrne. Just four shows. And not on his own, but still, I will be able to get my Hills-dose for the year. I might even try and make the four shows… or three of them… At least twice. I will see the show twice. Oh yeah! Here’s a pic of last year’s Fringe, when I saw him down the Royal Mile (I’m not the guy he is talking to!). Nice bloke he is, he gave me an autograph, and chatted for a couple of minutes with me… I just wish I had said something more interesting than: Hi, I love your show. D’oh!

And on other good news, in fact, awesome news, The Terrible Infants play is back! Hurray!! If you didn’t see them last year, this play is a must! Here’s the link to their website, have a look, and see what you will be missing if you don’t go see them this Fringe! They might very well be the best group out there during the August month… Do youself a favour and go see them.

More Fringe news, in the near future!
