If you only see one show at the fringe (which you shouldn't, that's not enough) then it should be this one.
The Alternative Comedy Memorial Society (ACMS)@theacms.bsky.social · 2w agoWhy yes you *should* come see us at @monkeybarrelcomedy.bsky.social this #edfringe, we're ever so good at late-mixed mixed-bill ridiculousness. And so reasonably priced too!

And adding to this no, I do not want the Fringe to stop. I do not want it to move to England. The solution is not simply to abandon the biggest (and yes, despite everything, best) arts festival in the world. If you love something, you try and fix it.
Eleanor Morton@eleanormorton.bsky.social · 3w agoAll good points but I think we should also be talking about the big venues and Edinburgh uni making fat stacks whilst underpaying their staff not to mention Fringe society exec dir getting £100k per year whilst we lowly comics must pay £300-400 just to be in the brochure
We'd stress the #ACMS Awards are chosen by random number generator, but Simon Munnery won Best Worst Person two years in a row, so...

Are you coming to #ACMS on Monday 13th wegottickets.com/f/22289? Do you like EXCELLENT PRINTED MATERIAL? Cos hoo boy we've got give-away booklet goodness for everyone! Smaller than the actual Fringe guide! Far more helpful/sarcastic, too, in that now all the shows about ghosts are on the same page.

THREAD. A while ago my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the worrying weeks dragged on my dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time & inhabiting art's most iconic scenes. What he produced (& how quickly) was phenomenal...

One boon of doing shows at the Phoenix is that we can set our own stupid price options. We put three £5 🎟️s on sale for our next show, categorised as 'I See No Other Alternative' tickets. Only one has sold. So far. ACMS is both a great gig AND long-running experiment in audience financial prudence.
