Edinburgh Festival 2007

Went to the Edinburgh Festival for the weekend and had an AWESOME time. Highlight of the weekend was definately Nina Conti the best ventriloquist i have ever seen and ridiculously funny. Barry Cryer was also amazing like sitting and hearing your grandad telling funny stories round the dinner table!

Also really enjoyed a sketch show 3 piece called House of Windsor, they were the first act i saw and really set the weekend off to a good start with their surreal skits.

Keeping it Yorkshire we also saw the Leeds Tealights (to be honest we went just for the name!) five or six guys from Leeds Uni and their comedy revue, they had some really funny and original stuff and were full of energy, proper good fun!

Also saw a guy named Wil Hodgson who gave a really entertaining monologue about his life as an overweight punk who paints his nails to match his hair colour, collects my little ponies and has an obsession with fern britton!

Edinburgh is such a nice city (despite them bumping up all the prices over the festival) and i ate my first ever white pudding (which is well nice!!) from the best fish and chip shop in Scotland , the Anstruther Fish Bar.

As ever some of the most interesting parts of the day are spent walking up and down the royal mile getting mobbed by crazy fancy dress people with flyers!
