the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, defying the norm since 1947.
the greatest show on earth, entertainment heaven,
Here anything goes, anything can happen,
nothing is certain, nothing’s a given.
A song may have no words or even no rhythm,
basking unexpectedly below a spotlight’s glow.
The audience can become the cast of a show,
crossing lines, becoming headlines on the front page.
Shows without boundaries or even a stage,
uppercuts to the upper classes, quick jabs at the masses.
Stand-ups standing up for what they believe,
and exceptional acts challenging perceptions.
There are no rules only exceptions,
it’s not a stunt or some attempt at a trend.
This may contain material that will shock or offend,
