Edinburgh Fringe Festival, 2022
This post could also have been called Fairy Lights & Shadowed Foliage because these were the details that I was primarily interested in capturing on my evening walk around the city that I love. I have predominantly spent this month eating excellent street food (favourites include freshly deep fried doughnuts smothered in cinnamon sugar, crepes from Tupiniquim filled with pumpkin a la papai, and dumplings dripping in sweet chilli and soy sauce).
The rest of the month has been filled with a collection of incredibly funny folk who make me laugh. As a general rule I don’t go to the comedy shows of cis straight white men so it’s a veritable feast of funny women and queer folk (it’s not that I have a blanket ban on cis straight white men, they just have to really prove that they’re worth my time and money). I wasn’t going to list them all but they’re too good not too…
