Roll up! Roll Up! It’s Edinburgh Fringe time. Quick, hide the addicts and the homeless. Slap on your rouge and your lipstick and get in that doorway, bitch. Entice them in. Shake yer moneymaker. Show them yer wares.

A tartan tart in tat, that’s what you are. By god, it’s pure radge but we will give it to them. Hard. Bigger. Longer. Dreams die with a smile here, let’s give the corpse a little makeover.

Poor access for the disabled? Too bad. Everyone getting priced out? Boo hoo hoo. Didn’t go to the right school, eh? Tough shit. We’re not for the likes of you lot. What did you expect? Inclusivity?

This is what it’s all about. A rollicking , frolicking faded burlesque that eats its young, AND old. See? We ARE inclusive. Roll up, roll up, it’s the hottest ticket in town. Whaddya mean, you can’t afford it?
