^ August 3 September 1994

August 14th 1994... You step off the plane, bus or train, scan the beautiful sky-line of Edinburgh and then open your Fringe programme. Inside lurk countless scintillating, energetic, moving, funny, disturbing or even infuriating events that span every possible art form. For the first-time Fringe-goer, the choice may seem daunting but do not be overwhelmed by the size of the programme - you are sure to spot something interesting from the 466 plays, 45 musicals ... etc. within.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe began in 1947 and is now famous world-wide for drawing together international theatre, music, comedy, circus and dance for three glorious, frantic, colourful weeks. Many performers have gone on to become household names and spotting new talent is an additional bonus for the enthusiast. The Fringe Society provides year-long help and support but does not select the final programme - although many of the venues do have programming policies which encourage particularly innovative work or visitors from other countries. It is a unique and extraordinary combination of artistic freedom and market forces!

When planning your day's programme of entertainment, I would urge you to be adventurous. Every Fringe-regular has a story to tell about the most wonderful show that they 'discovered' in a tiny venue tucked away in the back-streets of Edinburgh. Great art and popular entertainment don't always conform to regular labels and you may be surprised and delighted by the combination on offer. Fancy some jazz-dance? We got it. Prefer to watch a student group tackle Shakespeare?

You'll find several. Hungry to see your favourite TV comics in the flesh? THEY'RE HERE! Along with 9,229 other brilliant, astonishing and skilled performers, probably walking past you in the street at this moment.

ALLOA PUBS & RESTAURANTS PRESENTS “I WISH I’D LEFT AT THE INTERVAL” INTROSPECTIVE SPONGE THEATRE CO. “Lost on Everyone.” jiff “I am a bird. I am a cow. I am a small flat-pack coffee table.” The condition of the human psyche is approached metaphorically in terms of discount furniture warehouses.

Will humankind unravel the myriad mysteries of its own being? Who cares. Escape at the interval and check out the comfy chairs and a large gin and tonic at The Last Drop, Grassmarket.

THE “OH GOSH I’M REALLY SCARED” GHOST WALK ||| Tramp around the Royal Mile in the dark for three quid.

People dressed in white sheets will jump out shouting “Ooooooo”. Try and contain your terror. And have a change of trousers available when you witness “The Strange Barking Man”. Your teeth will chatter. Your knees will knock. Get out of the cold and have a wee dram in Deacon Brodie’s (High Street).

THE UNREASONABLY DANGEROUS CIRCUS CO. “Even more dangerous than last year.”

IIBB Fish swallowing? Pah! Chainsaw juggling? Kid’s stuff!

This year we’ve taken danger, written it in big red letters and underlined it. Twice. The 1994 show includes napalm drinking, indoor fighter-plane aerobatics and thermonuclear depth-charge juggling.“Oh my God .... he’s going to drop it.... help Aaaaaargh.”

“The Independent” Alternatively, stay at least five miles clear and enjoy a red hot bowl of chilli at The Granary (Queensferry Street).

MAGIC TACK’S MAGIC PUPPETS. “Magic Jack and his Magic Quest for the Magic Pliers.” BBB (Adults also welcome). Hey ho! Can you help Magic Jack on his magic quest to the magic world to find his magic toolbox containing his magic pliers? Super songs to sing along with about pliers, hacksaws, bradalls and other practical household implements. Maybe not.

Experience some well-cut grooves at The Car Wash (The Mound) instead. f : Pints deserved afterwards 98

THE ARRAN BALACLAVAS. “Aye Aye Diddle Diddle Aye.” BB88 Back after last year’s show, “Deedle-Deedle-Dum-Deedle- \ Aye”, the Balaclavas seem to be increasing in artistic I maturity. The old favourites are still there (“Spinning Wheel, Oh Spinning Wheel, Aye-Diddle-Aye”) but now rub shoulders with more modern adaptations (“Sewing Machine, Oh Sewing Machine, Aye-Diddle-Aye”) in a '[ sensitive and complex set, dealing frequently with the subjects of sheep, beards and falling down wells. For j; some reason, they sing with one finger in their ear. We | suggest the audience use both. You’ll have time for a great pint at The Kenilworth (Rose Street) before the band takes it away. Preferably very, very far away.

THE OXBRIDGE BEDSIDELIGHTS. 1994 Revue.

BBBBBB More crazy student gags about being slightly late | for lectures, buying the wrong edition of your physical geography textbook (whoops!) and accidentally ; mislaying your scarf during anarchic rag week “use-the-wrong-colour- pen -for-your-classics-essay” pranks. The Bedsidelights claim they are redefining comedy. The new definition would appear to be “something that is not very funny.” Why not pop into nearby Greyfriars Bobby (Candlemaker Row) for a pre-performance drink. And stay there.

BARG. “Telephone Numbers of South West Sydney.”

BBB Performance poet Barg gives an outdoor rendition of his latest work in the middle of Princes Street. In keeping with his anti-structuralist viewpoint, he will whisper and wear a gag. Anti-structuralism also dictates that he cannot reveal the time, date or even year when he will appear. While you’re waiting, we suggest you enjoy a pint of Auld Reekie at the Rose St. Brewery. If you’re an antistructuralist, we suggest you remove your gag.
