Edinburgh Fringe

On the way to see Stick Man with Max and his Granny we stopped by the High Street in Edinburgh to see what strange but wonderful acts we could see. This one did not disappoint. It went something like this: short skinny bloke who is a professional street performer (who reminds us lots of times of this so as to extract money from the audiences tightly clenched fists), does dodgy juggling with knifes, then picks tall fat bloke from audience to stand on him whilst sandwiched between two boards of sharp pointy nails. Subsequently yells in pain, audience claps and donates money. However, this short script took about 30 minutes to unfold with lots of cheesy anecdotes and lines. Great fun - never fails to please! I love the Edinburgh Fringe...
