Familiar faces abound - Fringe under way

Paul Daniels

The Fringe is under way and household names abound in the central area.

Officially running from today to 29th August the Fringe promises (if that's the right word), 21000 performers, 41,689 performances, 258 venues and 2542 shows.  And more of the action than ever before takes place in the Southside & Newington ward.  Fringe site and booking details here and more details from the BBC here.

From John Malkovich to Fred MacAuley or Paul Daniels, you can spot them in the Southside.
