Each year I leave the festival with a small pile of leaflets for shows I would love to have seen. They are usually linked to people I have met at the Fringe Promoters breakfast or my CGO Surgeries. I will have missed some gems. So for those with space on their dance-card here is a random selection.

23 shows out of 3000+ that have caught my attention, introduced themselves to me , or been on my “wish I had more time” list. If you choose to see any of them and enjoy – please let me know
I’m off to Belfast now for YMT:UK Triptych Project, then back for a couple more days of mad catch up of shows with Kath.
Cheers
Chris
