A little late.. But better late than never!!
When in Edinburgh, espessially in the months of August it is a well documented passtime for any seasoned traveler to go Fringling spotting. One can usually spot them by their strange outfits, suitcases and glazed expressions. Occasionally you will see one carring an instrument or with an accompanying animal or bicycle. These strange and reclusive creatures who only come out of the woodwork once a year are a great joy to spot as they converge on the city like strange migratory birds.
Stand-Up comics from the 1800's.
You will see by their winning expressions... And signs which would read
"4 stars from The Scotsman.... Truly impressive comedy beste ine olde Edinburghe towne"
... so started the long tradition of harassed and strangely dressed stand up comics trying to get one to come to their show by carrying large billboards and handing out badly printed flyers...
What even is this!?!
Two tired Fringelings!!
