I linked to Rik. Then I hit the Edinburgh Festival: "Finding Bin Laden" was funny and surprisingly thoughtful (***), Newsrevue 2003 was sharp liberal musical comedy at its best (****), and the Late Night Laughter Lounge was a disaster held in a converted toilet. Avoid it.

Catching shows at the Edinburgh Fringe: a mixed bag of musical comedy, sketch shows, pretentious Americans, a brilliant Guards! Guards! adaptation, and a stoned stand-up who kept losing his train of thought. Terry Pratchett gets five stars; know the books first.
