Fringe Festival

The Fringe Festival is on here at the moment and we’ve always wanted to go and check it out but have never gotten around to it. This year we decided to actually do it instead of just talk about it!

Last Wednesday a friend and I met up in town for an iced chocolate. After that we thought we’d go down to the ‘Garden of Unearthly Delights’ and see what was happening there. On the way we got given 2 free tickets to a comedy show that night which was awesome! We wandered down to the garden and had a look at the stalls and people on the trapeze swings. – You could have a go for $15 but I was way to scared!! We then went and saw a cute mini puppet show in a tiny, hot tent then walked over to the Rhino Room to the comedy show, ‘Splitting the Bill’. It was so funny! I pretty much didn’t stop laughing the whole way though!!

Then on Saturday night Terry and I went in again and had a look at the garden again and also the ‘International Buskers Festival’. It was great but we mainly only saw the same people as last year (it was the only fringe thing we did last year). After that we had tea on Hindley Street then went to see a cabaret show called ‘Freakaphrenic’. It was soooo funny!!! We loved it and would love to go and see it again!

On Sunday we went back in and looked at the Festival centre markets and then the Hindley Street markets. We had another look at the garden and saw some more buskers then tried to find a café that was hosting some visual art exhibitions we really wanted to see but we couldn’t find it anywhere! (we found the address in our map book afterwards so we’ll go back during the week or on the weekend to see them).

Well that’s it for our Fringe experience so far but hopefully there’ll be more to come before it ends! I love the Fringe!
