my week at the EDINBURGH FRINGE 2022 | a vlog with Mickey Jo Theatre and

OHMYGOD HEY!
I've just got back from a week at the EDINBURGH FRINGE FESTIVAL and as well as a whole host of Review content that's coming soon I thought I'd bring you this more casual vlog that shows you what life was like for us as we attempted to see as many shows as possible!
Check it out to see which venues we visited, which shows we saw and (most importantly) what food we ate at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe!

"I'm a closet Cats fan" says the man who did an entire video dressed as Mr Mistoffelees, detailing the entire plot of Cats 😂

[@kailo123]

Greatest video ever

sobbing at that child in the ice cream queue who looked like he’d been sucked into the earth

[@nowrockyourheartout]

I just got back from 4 days at the fringe seeing 6 shows a day and can relate to so much of this! Running across the city, scoffing down street food, missing a show, spontaneous shows… it is an epic experience I’d recommend to all!

[@seanagreen9140]

For when you go back next year and to avoid running out of breath going up the Mound, you could've just gone along Princes Street to Lothian Road and the Trav is just up Lothian Road a bit- much easier than going up the Mound and via Grassmarket

[@HelenRosemarySmith]

It was me you met outside Lottie Platchett and you're right I was there for Lauren Lopez 😂Thanks for saying hi and making sure I was in the right queue! I'm so glad you both loved My Son's A Queer - It's the highlight of my Fringe for sure and I think even of all the shows I've seen all year!! Blanket Ban was such an impactful piece of theatre too.

[@AeronJames]

Lovely to meet you!

[@HelenRosemarySmith]

@@AeronJames you too 😁 hope you had a great Fringe!!

[@charlotterichardson3413]

We were there same week as you ... but we only managed 13 shows in 4 days. How you did over 30 has amazed me and I bow down to you! Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

[@carolineh8713]

What a lovely summary of your time in Edinburgh! Can’t wait for your reviews of all the shows you saw, especially Happy Meal and Rob Madge’s solo show. Extremely jealous of those amazing ice creams and just going to get myself a sad freezer ice cream to slightly console myself 😅❤️

[@Wonderkell74]

You guys are just the sweetest. Aeron you have the loveliest personality & smile. You both seem so well suited ❤️ I’ve loved the vlog & I can’t wait for the reviews. Thank you!

[@AeronJames]

❤️❤️❤️

[@msmichigan20201]

You boys are so cute! Glad you had a good time and I;m looking forward to the reviews.

[@AeronJames]

❤️

[@Goalysgirl]

Wonderful! Looking forward to the reviews! Also you two are absolutely adorable ❤️❤️❤️

[@lucatheghost]

Good lord this seems exhausting, I don't think I could handle one day of this let alone 6! But it looked like you had tons of fun so that's awesome, can't wait for the reviews!

[@abbeyj]

This looks so much fun!! Based on this video and your last video giving tips on the fringe, I'm hoping to go for the first time next year🙏

[@larrycippola7506]

Thanks!

[@EmoBearRights]

I was thinking do I care? And then I saw that there are two Buffy themed shows - and suddenly it's like ....ok now I'm interested.

[@Benni777]

I’d absolutely love Scotland!! Even tho I can’t internationally travel, I felt like I was right with you, Jo! I can’t wait for the review video next! 😆

[@johnmones1450]

Ok, I have to say I was exhausted just watching the two of you running around btwn shows, giving us a blow by blow account of what we’re going to see or what you just saw and vlogging for 6 days. It looked like you were running a marathon. I have to ask how you both were able to keep a cheery demeanor the whole time especially when you signed off every night with satisfied smiles on your faces? When I was in NYC for 4 days at the end of June I was happy to get one museum in during the day and a Broadway show in at night. That was taxing enough for me. In fact my hotel was right in the center of the theater district on 44th btwn Times Sq and 7th Ave so I didn’t have far to walk. I am so looking forward to your in-depth review of all the plays you saw at the Fringe. I hope you’ve somehow recovered and rested up. Again, truly enjoyed this vlog. Stay well. 👍🙏😎

[@Me-sr1jj]

Next time you go to the fringe, visit a hot chocolate stall located near the bottom of the meadows. Best hot choc in Edin!

[@thatoliviamiller]

thank you SO MUCH for coming to Bloody Mary: LIVE! Sounds like your whole Fringe was absolutely fantastic :)

[@joemeyers3127]

It’s working for me. Enjoying it!

[@zoethomas-webb386]

Pianist of Kathy and Stella is also the writer! One half of Frisky and Mannish. Uber talented.

[@RandomHouze]

Loving the glasses! I learned a new word today: angulating!!

[@about_marco]

no "Happy Orphan" by Luca Cupani? SHAAAME 🙂

[@misskit123]

Dalek bread! Genius!!

[@rubiat1444]

can’t wait to see more videos

[@alongstorycutshort]

I live and work in Edinburgh. I promise you, the streets are full of people here for the Fringe.

[@MickeyJoTheatre]

Oh I'm sure! But am I crazy or is it less this year? In a normal Fringe I wouldn't even attempt the Geogre IV Bridge around the Greyfriars Bobby statue but this year it seemed more manageable?

[@alongstorycutshort]

@@MickeyJoTheatre I think definitely less than pre-pandemic years... but my reaction is utterly compounded by the fact I'm commuting into new town every day 😅. I feel like the crowds are more concentrated around certain hubs of activity this year. There's less of a city-wide surge but in specific areas it's still mad.

[@HelenRosemarySmith]

Agreed! Definitely concentrated around the centre but it's way busier than otherwise. I actually love it, especially as this year given it's the first year back after lockdown.

[@johngregory6716]

You two are very good together♥️

[@AeronJames]

❤️

[@antonellamR2D2]

Last time I was in Edinburgh there qas Fringe and a major flood 💔 so glad you had a good time

[@subbtopp]

i love yr vids. a review of fabulous shows and fabulous food. xxx

[@johngregory6716]

Yum!fudge!flakes! Yum yum!

[@Wonderkell74]

If I feel like something is worth a something & a half star review, I always err on the side of kindness & round up. Does that make me too nice? 😂

[@Wonderkell74]

The best dramas or shows that are serious always have a little comedy,IMO. You need the lightness with the dark.

[@TheAllRoundNerd]

I sadly made the mistake with assembly. Booked to see Friendsical and Randy Feltface thinking they were in the same venue They are not *Sigh*

[@andrewstorm8240]

How do you work out what to see with so many shows

[@ZamTx1]

Allo! Allo! You have good taste.

[@chalky7285]

Hey Jo man card REVOCKED!!

[@fearlesskezy9443]

come and see Glass Slippers and silver bullets we finish 28th of august

[@johngregory6716]

Who are the little people on your book shelf.

[@browneyes142a]

I thought my 4 show day was a lot!

[@Br1tann1a]

Did I hear you say "cancelled for casting disposition?" I feel like there's a story there.

[@MickeyJoTheatre]

Cast indisposition! Although yours sounds much more interesting 😅

[@sianbennett-rodgers]

100% been the only person at a show. Was Jerome Pradon doing a very intense one man musical. Just me, him and a piano player

[@HelenRosemarySmith]

oh wow what was it like being the only one?

[@johngregory6716]

Cider? How lovely/odd.

[@johngregory6716]

Intelligent and cute♥️

[@lexithebesti]

I LOVE THESE VLOGS!! but the video is not working for me either 😭

[@lexithebesti]

NOW IT IS !

[@AutieTeleDexBaBrBo]

Using this video as filler for the 1 1/2 days I had to cancel because I ended up getting a positive LFT, after yesterday's brunch.
