The festival is back – and so are stage fright and self-loathing. But this year’s event has been small and beautiful
I normally find Edinburgh fringe an extremely trying time. Now it’s an extremely trying time with fewer people.
Before setting off this year, several people in my life told me to “have fun at the fringe” which is so absurd I burst out laughing before crying that my show is still only 15 minutes long and I’m expected to speak for an hour.
