The crowd numbers so far are just the right balance of being able to get around the city centre without too many hold ups and delays but still creating that fantastic buzz , vibe and atmosphere ! , apparently footfall is around 20% lower than 2019 , so brace yourself for next year , we will all need extra patience and more time to get around ! . Your presentation skills are now so good , you really should be on tv with that talent 👍.
Ton of people yesterday, came from California and had no idea what or where this festival was and kinda of ran into it by total accident lol very use to seeing street performers in Santa Monica and Venice, pretty neat you guys have something here! Looking for good Mexican food any recommendations?
@@atravelingboy7995 Welcome to the largest festival on the planet which has been around for 75 years ! , hundreds of cities around the world , including the US , now have their own version. In 2019 the Fringe sold over 3 million tickets lol ! ( that doesn't include the thousands of free shows asking for donations ) , apparently only the Olympics sells more and that's every 4 years !. For Mexican food at a reasonable price try Bonnie Burrito at 82 South Clerk Street about a mile south from the Tron ( small church ) situated at the end of the closed section of the High Street were most of the buskers are performing ! , have a great vacation 🤪.
@@aidanwilson6035 Thank you! We will definitely take up your suggestion in the next day or so! What a helpful community Ms. K has built here subbing right meow! Thanks again aiden!
AHHH IM SO EXCITED TO GO TO SCOTLAND IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS!😭💕 I’ve been watching your channel for a year now since I’ve been planning my trip and I’m so hyped! I’ve never been outside of my state and not even on a plane so I’m so excited for Scotland to be my first vacation ever🙏🏻💕
Hey Kakibot. Great video again. I'm already back home after a week of fringe (as I do every year). My recommendations for comedy are Daniel Sloss and Alasdair Beckett-King. They are both hilarious in totally different ways. Hamlet with Sir Ian McKellen was also really impressive. But for me Fringe is also about taking a flyer on the street from a random person and see their shows. You will definitely some gems there as well. Cheers from Switzerland!
Great to see that Covid didn't kill the fringe and it seems to have sprung back in full health. I always used to take a week off in August and just be a (local) tourist in Edinburgh, though it seems to be a lot more involved than back, 20 years ago!
Traveled from New York to see the Fringe this year. Been keeping my eyes open to see if I can spot a Kakibot in the wild, but alas...no luck. So far we saw a production based on the Cabinet of Doctor Caligari...that wasnt the greatest...but last night we saw The Tiger Lilies One Penny Opera that was really cool...and a fantastic improv show at 1am last night down at the Banshees Labyrinth. It's pretty cold and rainy today so we're not sure what to do? Any suggestions?
I went with my family 12-15th August. Had a great time! Took my children to Game On free show and they loved it. Also Dragons and mythical beasts was amazing at McEwan Hall Underbelly. Holy Cow has lovely vegan food.
The festival is super exciting, but the amount of garbage everywhere is annoying. Thanks for the food recommendations! Heading to the japanese food truck ASAP 😊
Fringe is amazing. There is a smile, friendship and positive energy. I recommend staying in Edinburgh. I am charmed by "Arround the World with Nellie Bly". I recommend really amazing horror "Whispers" and "After". I love your video, you're awesome!
I live next door to the pleasance (venue 33) which is the biggest comedy venue at the fringe and it's much much muich quieter than normal. this year was planned to be smaller and next year back to bloody insanity levels where you cannot walk up the high street for people. This is deffo a quiet one
Hey ! I have alotss and lotss of questions about living in Edinburgh, I really always wanted to live in Scotland but I still have alot Doubts, so Is it getting more expensive there ? Is it okey to migrate to less at 18-19 or in 20 years ? Thankss :)
Is there an information source that the festival has for people traveling from overseas to the festival? I wouldn't know what to expect for hotels, access to shows etc.
The printed guide (and the website too I imagine) contains info on accessibility, family/baby friendliness, public toilets - which I found super practical to have on hand. I don't think they officially cater to the travel side of things though. Are you still planning to come this year, or are you thinking about the years coming up?
@@Kakibot My preference is to catch the next festival. Given the line ups in airports and slow services in many hotels, I am reluctant to come this year. Thank you for your response. I will search for the festival's website as my starting point.
We are coming to Edinburgh for the first time with my fiance in week 34 and I am a bit scared of the amount of people, because of the Fringe. Does the festival show in Edinburghs main attractions or is it more packed in the main festival areas?
Hiya! Festival crowds do absolutely spill over to other areas, as most visitors stay beyond Old Town and Meadows. The good news is that the last week of Fringe tends to be noticeable quieter, especially towards the last couple of days of Fringe, so you should get a bit of cooldown around then. If the weather allows you could always explore some areas beyond what a first time traveller usually visits: Craigmillar or Lauriston castles, Cramond beach, South Queensferry. All very easy to reach by public transport or trains (depending on where you'll be based of course). Hope you have an amazing time!
Wow !! Nice to see your video. Very beautifully articulated. I live in this beautiful City Edinburgh . I am a Software engineer by profession but a youtuber by Hobby and recently started my UA-cam channel named "Travel with DJ" after taking inspiration from your UA-cam videos. Cheers to your work.
@@Kakibot Just to add... follow the old railway line trackbed (now a footpath) from Balerno through Currie , down Colinton Dell (taking in some of the restaurants and shops in Colinton) and then head down towards the city centre etc. Plenty to take in!
Nothing wrong with people sharing their perspectives! Kats been doing this weekly for many years now, but if more people want to vlog, more power to them :)
Hey hey notification squad!!! Is Fringe 2022 too busy for you? Or is it NOT BUSY ENOUGH?!

Oh no! Kakibot's expression during the cringe cam! 😂
🙄 Fringe kids!!! *shakes fist in the air*
The festival looks like a total blast. Thank you for this update! I appreciate the tips about where to buy food and about the events.
I can recommend Czech show Runners - it's got an hour fully packed with theatre, dance, music, exercise, emotions...and running 😁

Im conflicted because I live that the city is so lively this days but I have no patience for slow walkers 😬😅😅
Would be great to have some sort of magical force field to just zoom through the crowds 💫
There's a pita hut in Georgia Sq which has vegetarian and vegan choices I think. I had a chickpea pita which was very tasty.

Lobster? Man the fringe has changed 😄 Great vid as always.
I would definitely recommend BLUE or Poolnowater by the ACS❤️

Scotland overlaps with Edinburgh? Not that I've noticed. It never feels like Scotland, especially during the festival. Glasgow, now, that's Scotland!
It wasn’t bad as far as the number of people are concerned. We enjoyed the first week of the Fringe. Now, I would love to return during a calmer time.
The festival is super exciting, but the amount of garbage everywhere is annoying. Thanks for the food recommendations! Heading to the japanese food truck ASAP
😊
For comedy, if you like one liners and puns, I would suggest going to see Adele Cliff at the Tron.
Fringe is amazing. There is a smile, friendship and positive energy. I recommend staying in Edinburgh. I am charmed by "Arround the World with Nellie Bly". I recommend really amazing horror "Whispers" and "After". I love your video, you're awesome!
We plan on coming soon.... hopefully missing the crowds... when does Fringe end? Lol
As a vegetarian,...I ordered a hamburger without the beef........with extra mayo.......excellent!

What are your favourite Fringe gigs? Feel free to share your recommendations here!
any tips for getting cheap accommodation? I don't want to stay in Aberdeen or something
11:10 Her poor facial expression though😂😂
😐 < me
OMG! I love your shirt!
Thank youuu! These food themed shirts have been seriously saving my life during our heatwave packed summer, eek!
@@Kakibotwhat’s the brand?
Favourite shows so far:

Ooooh we were just gonna go visit Summerhall next week (it's our wedding party venue! .) , I shall look into those!

Hi
How are you doing?
Do you live in Edinburgh?
Wow !! Nice to see your video. Very beautifully articulated. I live in this beautiful City Edinburgh . I am a Software engineer by profession but a youtuber by Hobby and recently started my UA-cam channel named "Travel with DJ" after taking inspiration from your UA-cam videos. Cheers to your work.
That's awesome! Good luck with you channel!!
Go on holiday whilst the Fringe and Festival is on and rent out your flat to visitors.
For first timers it might be stating the obvious but the bigger the named star the earlier you will need to book to get a seat.
Hello beautiful 🌹 and wederful people and perfect contry
Kakibot.... how about a video starting at Balerno and following the Water of Leith down to Leith itself. Include some of the attractions en route.
That's an amazing idea actually! Going on my list, thank you!
@@Kakibot Just to add... follow the old railway line trackbed (now a footpath) from Balerno through Currie , down Colinton Dell (taking in some of the restaurants and shops in Colinton) and then head down towards the city centre etc. Plenty to take in!
So many edinburgh vloggers theses days lol 😆
Nothing wrong with people sharing their perspectives! Kats been doing this weekly for many years now, but if more people want to vlog, more power to them :)
@@simonmountney yes lots of vloggers witch is good I started in March enjoying it 😀
