Edinburgh


My festival experience included: Tattie scones, Ceilidh dancing, performing in a cave, flyering on the Royal Mile, seeing shows, drinking whiskey, Vegetarian haggis, karaoke, meeting Vicki Pepperdine (a comedy idol of mine), midnight feasts, candlelit dinners, being asked to leave a circus tent, sleeping in a grand four poster bed, having ice cream factory at pizza hut, sitting in an audience for a show while my friend James was straddled by the performer beside me and getting to perform in a fully sold out show!
