Pleasance Courtyard at Edinburgh Fringe was mobbed last night. So many shows, so many people, so much hustling and bustling. Good luck to all the performers and companies. Hope I get a crowd at the Ukrainian Centre tonight.

Edinburgh Fringe - some of the shows coming up. I’m there on Sunday evening.
