Yeasterday was more of a tourist day than a theater day. We went up the Royal Mile away from the Castle to go see Holyrood Palace, one of the Offical Residences of Her Majesty the Queen. We got to see the palace, the ruins of an abbey and the garden. Some of the art was truly amazing, adn the palace is very elegant, and extremely historical. We also went by a real kilt-maker's shop to admire the dresses, which are beautiful (well the kilts were cool too).
We then went to see some Stand Up Comedy with Free Fringe. The comedians were pretty good, though one was certainly the funniest. We were able to see one of the more famous Deaf comedians, which was really interesting. I felt that some of his jokes on the Twin Towers were out of taste, but otherwsie he was pretty witty and you couldn't really tell that he was deaf. It was really nice, actually, as far as having a realaxing day.
Yeasterday night I went to see our own show to figure outthe logistics of Liar's Club, and I have to say that I think the new space has negatively effected our steam. There is so much space that we are not used to that you lose the intimate and secretive feel of the show. I hope that we can figure out how to bring that back to this venue soon, because we are only perfomring til the 28th.
Cheers
