been going back through your videos as a way to build up excitement for my *move* to Edinburgh coming up soon! you've been such an inspiration for travel, living in the city as a small artist, and exploring the not-so-common spaces. I really appreciate this video in particular - maybe we'll run into one another! <3

Hello! Thank you. This is very helpful. We are going on the last week of November this year. Will all these be open and available then? Thank you!
@KakibotКүн бұрын
Yes, the markets should be up from November 17 - sometimes the other locations take a day or two extra to be fully on, but you should have access to all the festive vibes if you're coming at the end of November .)

How did I not know about Pollok Country Park in Glasgow? Definitely putting “go hang out with the coos” on my stuff to do when I’m trying to get away from Fringe this year list 😅 Can also recommend Braid Hill in Morningside (my local) as great breathing space within Edinburgh - it’s just far enough away to miss most of the Fringe insanity but still a quick Lothian bus trip.

I used to work in one of the gold bros tartan shops, and they literally bought Harry Potter merch from primark and sold it on at a massive mark up. They also have zero consideration for the well-being of their staff (ie would insist on all the doors being wide open in the middle of winter, 12hr shifts with illegally short breaks etc). Avoid at all costs!

Any local advice re' finding acts other than relying on the comedians we're already aware of? Do we just take a punt on a random, or is there a source for pre-reviews buzz?
@KakibotКүн бұрын
Unfortunately I believe the first couple of days it's just a bit of hit-or-miss - what I usually do is if something sounds interesting I will look it up online to see if I can find some clips or reviews, hoping I will find some unexpected gold! In the past I've had a lot of luck with international acts, perhaps it's because for someone to invest this much money to travel and stay, they usually have to be at least a little bit established already, even if they are completely unheard of in the UK!

The tram is a bit hit and miss - when it runs it's the best way of getting to town, but when a single thing goes wrong, that's it, trams over 😐 but at least in Leith there are also sooo many buses to step in when things go awry!

Growing up in Edinburgh there’s this real grumpy curmudgeonly attitude among locals where you’re obliged to be as negative and annoyed as possible about everything related to the festival and Fringe. It takes moving away and coming back to really appreciate it I think and realise that it’s pretty special to live in a city that isn’t just a boring concrete wasteland and actually has fun interesting things happening in it!

Hi Kakibot just back from Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago my husband and I had the time of our life. I watched your video’s and they were so helpful they made me feel like I actually knew how to get around The only thing I was disappointed with is I didn’t get to drink hot chocolate at Knoops hopefully when I visit again because I hope to come back. First place I’m going to. I also purchased your artwork (your pins)

Always confuses me at the fringe when you walk past lesser-known actors/comedians and end up thinking "Wait do I know them? Did I work with them, or maybe an old neighbour?"

Right!? The line between “do I know them from the Scotmid checkout” and “did this person have a small recurring role on Scrubs” is very thin for my brain.

As someone who has lived in Edinburgh since 2020, I've managed to avoid the Fringe carnage ever since. But maybe this year I should try to be courageous and go to a comedy show or something.. 👀 Also, Edinburgh Deaf Festival takes place 9 - 18 August, it's a sister event to Fringe and has lots of events for BSL users. p.s: I spotted you and Simon (and said an awkward hi) at Edi Pride, hope you enjoyed! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
