T On The Fringe is just one tiny bit of the overall Edinburgh Festival Fringe, of course. The full Fringe programme was published in Edinburgh yesterday and features more shows than ever before, which everyone seems to think is fantastic news (personally I'm not convinced it necessarily is, but let's not get into that, such ranting should be reserved for our Edinburgh Festival publication ThreeWeeks). But either way, it will certainly be the most exciting, eclectic and awe inspiring cultural festival of the year, as usual. Expect plenty of plugs for it and ThreeWeeks between now and it all going live at the start of August.
