Went last year for the first time with my lovely missus and camped on the outskirts of Edinburgh. Saw loads of great gigs (and a few bad ones!), and even accidentally starred in a street performance)!
Going again this year and flying up from Cornwall tomorrow - staying in a B&B in town as my GF didn't like the camping last time! Seeing Stuart Lee, Richard Herring, Stephen K Amos, Sarah Millican and someone else 'famous' that I can't remember, as well as any other cheap/free shows whilst we're there. Really looking forward to it 😀
So who else is going and what are you gonna see?
I'm there on the 25th for Faith No More:)
I'll be heading up a few times. Not sure what we'll be going to see yet. Usual game is to go for a few beers then go and see some free gigs in random buildings. You know - the kind of thing that is only funny when you're pissed.

My missus worked at the fringe a few years ago, as a tech manager. We might head over there for a looksee, but I doubt I'll find it too enjoyable, I tend to hate anything arty.
