The Acts v. The Hacks – How I survived the Edinburgh Fringe’s Meet the Media event
by David Visick Thirty minutes into the queue for the Meet the Media event at The Speilgeltent I realise I’m wasting my time, but that’s okay, because I have time to waste.

I have to admit I am disappointed at the lack of science-fiction at this year’s Fringe. Despite it being a comeback fringe with less shows, there are still well over three thousand to choose from.

Over August I have been watching online content. Not all of these shows are long enough to warrant the full Fringe Review experience but are good, and interesting enough to be talked about.
