“The Gin Chronicles in New York”   Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2018

Interrupt the Routine returns for their 4th year of “The Gin Chronicles” at the fantastic Venue 125 (Artspace@StMarks) on Castle Terrace right in the heart of Edinburgh. The Edinburgh Festival is full of opportunities for theatre, but The Misfits of London provide a unique experience of vintage, knockabout comedy that has people of all ages leaving with a smile on their faces, and coming back every year to see the next adventure.

Our Edinburgh Fringe Festival Show is Sponsored for a 3rd year by Fentimans Botanical Beverages, this adventure sees our hapless detectives, John Jobling and Doris Golightly, land in New York having successfully thwarted an attempt to swipe a secret gin recipe from His Majesty’s British Government. Now freed from a daily routine of shuffleboard and Machiavellian shenanigans, they arrive as tourists ready to enjoy the restorative bustle of The Big Apple and the metropolitan tranquillity of Central Park. Doris has never been outside the British Isles before, and sticks closely to her employer in the first days, but as her orientation grows, the thrill of exploring sees her end up in a rather tricky situation over in Hell’s Kitchen. Without his trusted (and far more capable) assistant, Jobling is forced to discover whether he really does have more to give on the brain-front in a high-stakes roller-coaster ride that’ll have you sipping your complimentary G&T (or soft drink) and reacting to the “Gasp” sign with nervous joy.

Edinburgh fringe - The Gin Chronicles At Sea

The Gin Chronicles At Sea

Another spiffing adventure with those two amateur detectives, John Jobling and his sprightly housemaid, Doris Golightly.  Ably assisted by a cast of thousands, our two heroes risk their lives in service of King and country [this is 1947] to ensure that the recipe for the world’s best gin, sunk 120 fathoms deep in the middle of the Atlantic to keep it safe from Hitler, does not fall into the wrong hands but is returned safe to dear old Blighty.

The Misfits of London are masters of the radio play format, swapping identities and even clothes in the twinkling of an eye to portray the multiplicity of characters who become embroiled in the drama, with staggering revelations of duplicity and greed bringing gasps of horror from the audience when Doris the housemaid accuses the villains and the plot is revealed and FOILED!

It’s another triumph for the Misfits – four exceptionally talented actors, ably assisted by their sound effects person who also plays the part of the exceptionally outspoken parrot  – who knew that the sound of a face slap could be created with a pair of gloves and a pointed cabbage?. Their facility with voices, accents and attitudes makes each character instantly recognisable and enhances the entertainment the [admittedly deliberately creaky] script provides.

I was particularly smitten with housemaid Doris’ transformation into gum-chewing wisecracking gangster’s moll Gloria, but everyone was equally worthy of praise.

Admittedly, being given a shot of Edinburgh gin topped up with Fentiman’s delicious botanical beverage – in this case, pink grapefruit tonic – enhanced the audience’s appreciation of the delightfully silly, superbly executed performance.

If you haven’t seen them before, beat a path to their door!  If you have, come back again secure in the knowledge that you will be treated to another gorgeous piece of tomfoolery that will send you out into the evening sunshine with a broad smile on your face.

Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2017

The Fringe is probably one of the most popular events held in Edinburgh, Scotland. It takes place annually in August 2017 for three weeks in conjunction with other arts and cultural festivals, which are known collectively as the Edinburgh Festival. The Fringe boasts of a zany mixture of different acts that make it the biggest performing arts festival in the whole world. The Festival Fringe Society is the organizer of the event. It is in charge of selling tickets, publishing the programme, and giving advice to the performers. The office of The Fringe is found along the Royal Mile.

The Fringe showcases a wide selection of shows. These are mostly performing arts, in particular the comedy and drama genre. Also involved in the programs are music and dance. The theater events usually include classic plays of ancient Greece, Samuel Beckett, and Shakespeare. They also show newer works, even experimental ones. No selection committee approves what acts are to be shown, so any type of event may be held.

Comedy is also a popular theme. Comedy shows offer free admission. This is partly because the audience is consuming enough food and beverage in the venue to be able to pay for the show. However, don't expect to see established comedians here. Most of the time, up and coming comedians are the ones who perform. Also, there are open microphone sessions, wherein some audience members go up the stage and attempt to entertain the crowd with their comedy acts.

Unlike the other events of the Edinburgh Festival, the venues of the acts of The Fringe are not your usual performance halls and theaters. The Fringe takes over less conventional locations, such as the streets, schools, church halls, temporary structures (i.e. Udderbelly and Spiegeltent), the back of a taxi, public toilets, and even in the homes of some of the members of the audience. However, some may also be held in proper theaters (i.e. Bedlam Theater), historic castles, custom-made theaters (i.e. Music Hall), and conference centers.

Furthermore, the performers also come from diverse backgrounds. Some are non-profit while others are commercial. Some only perform at The Fringe, while others hail from famous theater groups and perform all-year round.

What makes The Fringe very interesting and appealing is the fact that you would never know what to expect. In fact, you wouldn't know what kind of acts you could find. A world-famous theater troupe could present or a novice group could take over the stage. The quality of the shows does not really matter for that is not the point of the festival. The Fringe simply serves as a conglomeration of ideas and achievements in the performing arts in the UK and worldwide. It serves as a venue where people can experience a feast for their senses by watching these shows that occur simultaneously.

However, for those of you who can't go to Edinburgh to see The Fringe in person, you have the option of watching it through the Internet by accessing its official website. By visiting this website, you will be able to see the reviews and ratings of the events made by the attendees themselves. It also has an online television channel that features the webcasts of some of the acts. Also posted are interviews with a few of the performers and a news bulletin that updates you of the current happenings.

Finding the Magic at The Edinburgh Fringe

From the early days of summer, there is a shift in the atmosphere in Edinburgh. Scotland's capital, an enchanting city at any time of year, vibrates with the excited anticipation of its world famous festivals.

At the heart of this excitement is the world's biggest arts festival and the UK's number one tourist attraction, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

In August, hotels in Edinburgh fill with thousands of festival lovers and performing hopefuls from across the globe, which flock to the city for the Fringe. With the mounting of festival fever, Edinburgh becomes a truly international city.

The sheer array of performances to choose from attracts a wide audience, as the Fringe offers something for everyone. With a choice of theater, music, comedy, dance and exhibitions spanning almost every style and genre, the Fringe proves a hit with visitors from all walks of life.

Yet what makes the Fringe truly unique is, despite its high profile and significance to Scottish tourism, there is no artistic vetting. Any artist can apply for perform at the Fringe, a principle which keeps the event true to its history and founding ethos.

The Fringe dates back to 1947, when eight gatecrashers at the Edinburgh International Festival were denied the chance to perform.

The story spread in the arts world, and the following year, more acts turned up uninvited. A tradition was born, as was a sort of anarchic kudos associated with being a festival 'outsider', performing on the streets and in lesser known venues around the city.

Within a few years, these acts were such an integral part of the Edinburgh festival season, that one could not imagine the EIF without the Fringe.

The Festival Fringe Society was formally established 1958, and has gone on to attract a hotbed of talent, launching careers along the way.

Many Fringe events are free or performed outside, creating an open and inclusive environment for the arts.

The cobbled old town streets nestled within the shadow of the castle, leading to the majesty of Arthur's Seat, provide a naturally theatrical platform for the fantasy and escapism of the Fringe Festival.

The vast array of children's performances is a hit with families, and many Edinburgh kids benefit from this early, highly entertaining introduction to culture, comedy and the performing arts.

With the wealth of Edinburgh accommodation on offer, including serviced apartments in Edinburgh and hotels in Edinburgh, the city is accessible for individuals and groups, catering for all budgets.

As Scotland becomes increasingly accessible, the summer migration to Edinburgh shows no sign of slowing.

Last years tickets sales amounted to £1.9 million, and the Fringe shows no sign of losing its immense popularity.

For many years to come, more and more people are expected to add to the vibrant atmosphere of the Edinburgh summer, as they flock to the city to experience the famous Fringe magic.

About Edinburgh:

Located in the south-east of Scotland, Edinburgh lies on the east coast of the Central Belt, along the Firth of Forth, near the North Sea. Owing to its rugged setting and vast collection of Medieval and Georgian architecture, including numerous stone tenements, it is often considered one of the most picturesque cities in Europe.

The city forms part of the City of Edinburgh council area the city council area includes urban Edinburgh and a 30-square-mile (78 km2) rural area.

The city attracts over 1 million overseas visitors a year, making it the second most visited tourist destination in the United Kingdom, after London.

Visiting Edinburgh During the Festival Fringe

For those looking for the perfect time to visit the capital of Scotland, August is the month you'll find to be most strongly recommended. Not only does it bring Edinburgh's best weather (well, sometimes), but it also heralds the time of year when Edinburgh Festival Fringe takes place, an event that sees hundreds of thousands of tourists descend upon the city every year.

https://www.interrupttheroutine.co.uk/edinburgh-fringe-festival-tickets-gin-chronicles/

The Fringe is the world's most famous arts festival and has run for over 60 years now. Getting bigger every time, the Festival Fringe is the perfect opportunity to take in a broad spectrum of the arts scene from across the globe, with thousands of performers visiting Edinburgh every year to put on shows, open galleries and entertain the masses - all in celebration of art and its impact on society.

A time of great joy in the city, the festival is sure to have something to suit all tastes. Well known for its huge comedy sections, you'll be guaranteed to get more than a few laughs at any one of the hundreds of comedy shows taking place. Best of all, like many of the shows at the Fringe, plenty of these acts will be free - meaning you can take in a show whilst having dinner, enjoying a few drinks or simply if you're a fan of the comedian.

Free performances abound: just take a walk through the Meadows or down the Royal Mile to see numerous performances taking place, from fire eaters to magic acts, from stand up to street mimes and music performers all aiming to please the crowds and win the most spectators. The city is at its most colourful best during these months and party-lovers will also benefit from many clubs changing their opening hours to accommodate a 5am closing time rather than the more traditional 3am.

One of the best things about the Fringe is the sense of equality amongst artists it brings. You'll find students performing amongst some of the world's biggest names, populating the same stages and sharing the same time slots. First time artists will put on shows beside professionals who have been in the business for years, and all with a sense of camaraderie that passes on to the audience.

So when thinking of a time for booking [http://www.superbreak.com/edinburgh_city-hotels-ED.htm]Edinburgh hotels and wondering when the best month is for seeing Edinburgh at its finest, make the Edinburgh Festival Fringe a priority for a memorable insight into what the Scottish capital has to offer.

Head to the World Famous Edinburgh Festival Fringe This August

When thinking about a fun way to spend a summer in the UK, a visit to the world renowned Edinburgh Festival Fringe may be top of your wish list.

The festival, which was started by a group of artists turned away from the Edinburgh International Festival back in 1947, is a celebration of all different types of art and as such, anyone and everyone can enter. There are no stipulations for people to fill so if you are feeling brave, you could even try your hand at a spot of stand-up or some singing.

As you would expect from the capital city of Scotland, there are various Edinburgh hostels ideally situated in the heart of the action. Such hostels are perfect for those on the lookout for cheap accommodation who would prefer to save their cash for checking out as many shows as possible.

However, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe also offers a great deal of free events, so whatever your budget, you will have a great time at the event.

This year's event is due to start on August 6th, with festivities marking the historic city of Edinburgh a hive of activity right up until August 30th.

Performers at the 2009 Edinburgh Festival Fringe included famous poet Lemn Sissay and Four Poofs and a Piano, a fun foursome noted for serenading guests on the Friday Night with Jonathan Ross show.

Over the years, the event has acted as a stepping stone for some household names to launch their careers - and no more so that the well known stand up show, So You Think You're Funny? Comedians including Alan Carr, Alex Zane and Johnny Vegas have all appeared at this event, with famous compares including Graham Norton, Chris Evans, Mark Lamarr, Jo Brand and Eddie Izzard. Back in 1993, funnyman and star of Black Books Dylan Moran scooped the award, which is a sign of the side-splitting hilarity always on offer at the event at the fringe.

Who knows, you could end up watching an intimate gig by the Peter Kay of tomorrow.

As well as comedy, the fringe event boasts theatre, dancing, special kids' shows and arts and crafts, making it an ideal festival for anyone on a break to Edinburgh.

A trip to [http://www.hostelbookers.com/hostels/scotland/edinburgh/]Edinburgh hostels this year would not be complete without a visit to the world famous Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
