Probably the same show as the long autumn run at the Leicester Square Theatre? Which still had tix available when I last looked. Blimey you leave your accommodation booking late. |

Presume so and it goes on the road next year. Just would have like to have caught it in the early stages. Haha do you think? Booked even later last year, maybe June. Still a fairly decent choice to go at on airbnb. |

Still a fairly decent choice to go at on airbnb. Well for an early-booking obsessive like me, yes! I always book for Edinburgh by September latest. I'm someone who books train journeys on the very day they go on sale 12 weeks in advance. In fact I booked my train to Edinburgh for my Fringe trip the other day. I've tried airbnb and as well as poor service I've also realised they don't release bookings until quite late on and that just doesn't do for me, ooooh no. Last year I also booked my 2020 accommodation, the first time I've ever booked anything two years in advance. Even just reading you saying makes me shudder. |

3,376 shows now on sale and more to come on 5th June. Could it be the first time the number of shows breaks the 4,000 barrier?!

Well with over 300 pages of shows now on the Fringe website, it's going to be a few days job going through them all! Jerry Sadowitz is always a must watch for me (never anywhere near the front though, the most terrifying comic I've ever seen!). No sign of Mark Thomas or Phill Jupitus which is unusual, Definitely going to see Russell T Davies at the Television Festival

Ah right. Incidentally anybody wanting to book travel, the cheap advance train fares from London Kings Cross to Edinburgh are starting to go onsale direct from the LNER website.

I’ve booked Cruel Intentions, the 90’s musical. Hope it’s good! Not sure whether to book all the shows I have planned to see or whether I can just turn up on the day. Lots of new theatre, drama and musical for me to see with a few parody and comedy shows thrown in!

Really?! Where/when did Kitson hint that? DK said in his last emailshot his next email would have Edinburgh news. In an email last week he said he still thinks he's going to do something at Edinburgh even though he doesn't have any dates, a venue or indeed anything written. |

Yes and when it is announced its luck of the draw whether you're near a box office. Plus a free form, riffing on the room Kitson is better than a lot of other scripted shows. |

I'd qualify that - it can be! Some of his £3/£5 see-what-happens show have been hilarious with some brilliant audience interactions; some not so good but that's the nature of it and hence the low prices. If he does set something up sadly I reckon I'll probably miss it as I'm there very early, just the first week and I sense it'll be later. Meanwhile my schedule is coming together nicely with the best of two solid days almost entirely at Summerhall. |

Yup, schedule coming together for me. I like the traverse as a venue so am disappointed in their line up this year

That said, the upside of attending early on is that in my bookings so far, by taking advantage of the lower-priced previews during that week I've saved nearly £60. |

A huge chunk of what I want to watch all happens sometime between 1:30 and 3:30. So this is taking meticulous routing/scheduling in preparation of booking and the full lineup hasn't even been announced yet! |

A huge chunk of what I want to watch all happens sometime between 1:30 and 3:30. I find exactly this happens practically every bloody year! I've got the bulk of my schedule done just from what's been released so far, which I've never done before and I hope I don't regret it when the full programme is published. Over the last few years I've built up a track record of seeing solo shows about real-life figures and they've pretty much all been excellent, but I haven't booked or noticed any yet this year. |

Two little victories this week.
Snagged the last Eddie Izzard ticket for the week I'm there and managed to bag a ticket for Stewart Lee - who's show sold out in March, but some additional were released today!

So now we're just weeks away how many shows have people booked already? I'm there for the month so have been putting together a schedule that (hopefully!) is a good balance between shows and downtime. A lot of comedy, a few plays (Knock Knock, Definitely Louise, Algorithms, Keith Moon: The Real Me and Dancing In The Moonlight: A Play About Phil Lynott). Only days I have fully booked are 5th and 6th because they're the 2 for 1 days (in a day of polar opposites on the 5th I;m starting the day with Basil Brush and ending with Frank Skinner!)
