COVERING THE EDINBURGH FESTIVAL SINCE 1996
It’s Puddles’ guide to the Fringe
With Puddles Pity Party taking the Fringe by storm, we thought we’d ask the man himself to walk us through the Festival, providing his interpretation and thoughts on each of the genres that appear as part of Edinburgh’s Fringe.
ART
Puddles says: “Why does every single thing I see, look exactly like a doodle to me?”
CABARET
Puddles says: “Let’s be ‘bourgeoisie and decadent’ y’all!”
CHILDREN’S SHOWS
Puddles says: “As Roald Dahl wrote, ‘The most important thing we’ve learned, so far as children are concerned, is never, NEVER, NEVER let them near your television set’. Take them to a Kids Show instead!”
COMEDY
Puddles says: “I’m laughing on the inside”
DANCE & PHYSICAL THEATRE
Puddles says: “5,6,7,8…Fosse! Fosse! Fosse!”
MUSIC
Puddles says: “Hot licks!”
MUSICALS
Puddles says: “I’m gonna live forever! Light up the sky like a flame…FAME!”
SPOKEN WORD
Puddles says: “Read. My. Lips.”
THEATRE
Puddles says: “To cry, or not to cry? Duh…to cry!”
‘Puddles Pity Party’ was performed at Assembly George Square at Edinburgh Festival 2015.
