All of my vlog-style and review coverage of 7 theatre-filled days at the Festival, in one place.
OHMYGOD HEY!
Welcome to a bonus edition of the substack in which I share with you the entirety of my coverage of this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
This year, I once again created daily vlog-style content as I power-walked between venues, scarfed down street food and tried not to get caught in flash floods, with my reviews interspersed throughout!
You can join me vicariously at the Fringe through the vlogs or just check out the individual reviews of the many (many) shows that I saw last week using the Instagram links.

Thanks for tuning in to this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe coverage.
What’s coming up this week?
You can look forward to my thoughts on Ivo Van Hove’s single-show-staging of Angels in America as well as Jinkx Monsoon’s performance in Oh, Mary!.
Plus, freshly back in my own home, there’s every possibility I just checked into a flight and started packing for one last summer theatre trip…
Until next week, I hope that everyone is staying safe and that you have a stagey… week! – Mickey-Jo
