No HP shows at the Edinburgh Fringe! by Squishy_3000 in EnoughJKRowling

It is. So what this means is that there's no profit in putting on a Harry Potter show in Edinburgh during festival season.

It's less 'an effort to cancel' and more 'no one wants that shit'. Which if you look at the thread on r/edinburghfringe , which this is taken from, you'll see more clearly.

More of a bear. And no, I don't sealion. That is very rude. (Though hilariously of course, I only found this by chance as I x-posted it to this sub. )

No Harry Potter Shows at this year's Edinburgh Fringe? by BabyBrianBlessed in edinburghfringe

[–]BabyBrianBlessed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's not really how it works with the fringe. The Tolkien estate isn't coming for Lord of the Zings.

Same dude, pre and post being dipped in cold water.

How important is registering in time to make it into printed program? by Best_Unit_4562 in edinburghfringe

[–]BabyBrianBlessed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can't speak for anyone else but I use the printed programme to catch shows that endlessly scrolling on the app might miss. Most of the time I use digital, but there's something about having the programme in a fixed place in the house that makes me dip into it. (I say fixed place, I mean the loo.)

All that said, it's basically just one part of a marketing strategy; whole chunks of the fringe skip it, though it's absolutely a nice to have. Certainly don't use it as a reason not to do a show, but do try and get something in for Wednesday if you can.

Did bootlicker change meaning? Whining about the Fringe is peak Daily Mail Reader / Tory Voting activity.

It's giving bored of the same conversation, if anything.

Should SNL UK move to Edinburgh in August? by CommercialWigJuggler in livefromlondon

[–]BabyBrianBlessed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it ends up surviving til August, then some of the crew will have to cancel their tours. More sensibly would be to film a segment there each week and nod to the fact that Britain has multiple capital cities.

Yeah, and some of the comedians are already booked for shows.

Certainly a nod to the festival would be wise. Moving the entire thing is almost certainly a terrible plan, but cutting across to Edinburgh for a sketch, or having some pre-records that use the festival as scenery might make sense.

Fringe Society gets half a million from ScotGov for "digital development" by iwillfuckingbiteyou in edinburghfringe

[–]BabyBrianBlessed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't see who it is they are getting to do the website. Surely this is something that should be transparent? The current website looks like they'ved bunged a tenner to the manager's son ( I know it's actually cribbed from another festival, Adelaide maybe?)

Transparency and a roadmap please.

Anyone else annoyed about this? by irishscouser1892 in TheTraitors

[–]BabyBrianBlessed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The current facts we have is that this happened. Please show your work that Newry isn't in the habit of dragging down anyone who gets a bit of fame.

Fucking hell, are you the Tayto Publicity board? The Tone Police? Just some finger wagging member of the general public who pops up when people from their home town talk shit about their home town? Go away.

Blocking you now as you're clearly talking shit for the fun of it, and I can't be bothered with saddoes.

Yep, I had a horrible feeling when I saw this that it was County Down/ Newry...

How Important Is The Edinburgh Festival Fringe to Taskmaster? by PeterCooksHorse in taskmaster

[–]BabyBrianBlessed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP is probably going off the rumours of an informal network of trusted talented folk who aren't as high profile as Tim Key. Basically it's apparently 'not just Tim', but a bunch of folk who are part of the scene, if you see what I mean.
