Fringepig

Saturday, May 4th, 2019Welcome to Fringepig

Hello dear people,

Well, we were halfway off the ground when we had to cancel.

Liam the editor has won an election in Devon, and now wants to spend more time with his parishioners, his kids, his stuffed toys and his catalogue of regrets.

We all had a hoot doing Fringepig – from its early days as a website to its three years as a fully-fledged magazine.

If anyone has bought an advert, a refund has been issued and should show up soon. We apologise for the change of plan.

Thanks to EVERYONE who made this fun.

The website will stay up for a bit but won’t update. It’ll just hang here like a frozen moment in time. And not the best moment, either. August 2018. Which was okay, but it was no July 1996 was it?

Meh.

After The Hiatus, The Swarming

August 5th, 2015

Through the years of living in Edinburgh I had gained a strong love for the month of August. What bear doesn’t? I loved the chaotic creativity as like-minds collide and combine, sparking new projects, ideas, friendships and everything in between. In 2011, I decided to get involved and contributed as a reviewer to The Skinny, […]

Barrie the Bear: A Star-Crossed Fringe Lover

August 5th, 2016

It began with Russell Harty. He was probably introducing the acapella outfit Instant Sunshine. This was the first I saw of the Edinburgh Fringe. Just as BBC2 introduced me to The Young Ones, so it went on to introduce me to dreams of a fringe existence. In those times, comedy wasn’t just an entertainment, it […]
