Dream line-up
It won’t be too long until the details of the performers at this year’s Edinburgh fringe Festival are announced, the usual weird and wonderful array of comedians, students plays, mime and music. Every year, there are certain comedians that I hope will make an appearance – and I’ve yet to be disappointed. Unlike my recent efforts to reduce my mobile roaming charges, which left me very disappointed indeed…
I was thinking about what my ideal Fringe line-up would be; the comedians or performers that would make this year’s Festival even more special than previous years. The most obvious choice, as far as I’m concerned, is Frankie Boyle. He hasn’t played the Fringe for years. I don’t know if it’s because he feels he doesn’t really need to promote himself any more, after all his TV success, or if it’s just the Edinburgh/Glasgow rivalry at work. Maybe he thinks you have to pay international roaming charges once you get past Falkirk on the M8. Whatever it is that has kept you away, Frankie, make an exception for 2011. Please?
Most of the big name comedians that I’d like to see at the Fringe 2011 have also made their name on panel shows or sitcoms. I would realy love to see one of the new top female comedians get themselves a long run, in a decent-sized venue. Women are often relegated to side venues or allowed to play at the Assembly or the Pleasance for only a few days. I think the huge success of Miranda Hart, Sarah Millican and Josie Long means that festival organisers everywhere, not just in Edinburgh, can no longer ignore funny females. Let’s hope the bosses at Fringe 2011 are working hard to persuade these girls, and others, to grace us with their presence come August.
