Alex Kitson's Edinburgh Fringe 2024 Recommendations:

"Hi everyone, here is a list of the shows I would highly recommend in Edinburgh.
Disclaimer, in compiling this I have still definitely forgotten lots of people and my knowledge/opinions are, annoyingly, far from exhaustive/definitive/objective. I can only go off what I know, who I've seen and what I've heard!
I'm writing this in June so will try and update when I'm there (no promises on this)
Hopefully the categories make it clear... But as far as possible I tried to list acts people might not know over massive names because I don't think there's much point in me recommending, say, Adam Hills and Dara O'Briain.
Also largely hours over split bills and WIPs etc.
Basically, go watch someone you don't know taking a risk - that's why you're here! The full list of what I'm personally planning to see is below if you scroll down!
The main thing though, is to come and see my show if you haven't already. It's at Hoots @ Potterrow at 22.55. Tickets are here —> https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/alex-kitson-must-i-paint-you-a-picture
Hope you find this helpful!"

My schedule of things to see:

The below list is what I'm planning to go and watch though the month. I make an insane, borderline psycotic private schedule every year to try and reduce decision paralysis and here is what is on there this year.
I probably won't manage to see them all but it's what I'm aiming for.
Obviously it's biased against shows I have already seen/stuff I clash with but thought I'd include it too (minus the days/timings so I don't get stalked)
