POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
This will be the first of multiple August 2026 posts 😂 I managed to pack in over 50 Fringe shows, Book Festival events and International Festival shows, several visits from friends and just generally lovely times ❤️ All starting with Grandma's birthday 🥰 Hess's birthday picnic 🧺 First show of the Fringe 💋 Smut, at Assembly Roxy 🌺🌹🏵️🌷🌼 Show 2 - Join The Club - so nice to meet Kate, and wonderful to see something else worked on by Kelly ✨ Aimee came for a weekend visit 🥰🍫 ☕ Show 3 - Bliss - a really colourful new musical 👑🌈 Show 4 - Big Stuff - one of my favourite shows of this year. It keeps resurfacing in my brain, even months later. So fun to see the work of this dynamic duo 🚒 🔥📦 ❤️❤️❤️ Show 5 - Sammy J: Hero Complex - the STORYTELLING, the EVIDENCE?!?? Show 6 - The Stevenson Experience - the end of a hilarious evening with Kelsey ✨ 🥰how lucky I am to have friends like these 🌷🏵️🌹🌺👐 BAKERY TRIP Show 7 - Muse - a fun new musical about Shakespeare and some of his central characters Show 8 - @ Jenna - another FAVOURITE show of this year. This story feels so real to me, as a little gay girl who had big crushes (although I don't have childhood diary proof) 🌈❤️ Show 9 - DUSK/NIGHT/DAWN - absolutely breathtaking. Graceful and powerful and beautiful 🎈 Show 10 - Disenchanted - another favourite for this year (yes, I have a lot, I'm indecisive and fall in love easily) SO funny, beautifully performed, and finally confirmed what we've all known. Belle was sent insane by the Beast and the talking furniture, Snow White looks incredible in red boots, and Mulan is a lesbian. Show 11 - A Brief History of Musical Theatre - as a longtime admirer of musicals, this was a wonderful way to spend an evening ✨ Show 12 - 2 Queers In Tears - ANOTHER (yes I know) favourite of this year. A beautiful story of queer friendship, love, becoming and growing of self 💛🩷

53 shows later, and I’m still processing just how much Edinburgh threw at me. What made this Fringe so special for me was the sheer range of artistry I got to see: astonishing life-sized puppetry, storytelling through entire worlds built inside suitcases, bold new writing that challenged how we think, performances that completely blew me away, contemporary circus and dance full of creativity and originality, and some brilliantly unhinged clowning. There was so much work that felt inventive, specific and unlike anything I’d seen before, and that, more than anything, is what I want from the Fringe. These are my picks, plus three shows I’d already seen before Edinburgh that were far too good to leave out. Full reviews for many of these are already on my profile, with more coming over the next few days. Edinburgh, you were incredible!

a moment from NIGHT thanks to @robin_mair_photography Every time I perform this sequence I stare at my hand in the side climb. Slowly I reach further and further away from center. I focus on what my hand looks like. It flickers, my eyes can’t keep up. I hold onto the thread connecting my arm to my back to my hips to my knee and foot to the pole and I let the feeling guide me I am loving the process of digging deeper into this show, preparing my body every day to live in NIGHT 🖤 Thank you for this journey @donkakong 🫂 9 shows left @edfringe !!!!!!!!!
