Got your shows lined up for tonight if you\u2019re in Edinburgh? Well if you haven\u2019t perhaps you might hear something in today\u2019s shows either for today or in the rest of the week. <\/p>\n

Mark Walker and I start talking about his show, Scorpio<\/em> (an investigation into star signs) but we rapidly fall into the work he does with the Forces and entertaining the serving UK Military. How different are those crowds to, say, Jongelurs. Virginia Ironside<\/em> has written for a number of newspapers and magazines in her writing career, but this year has her first show at the Fringe, and her first real experience of performing on stage. Finally Barbershopera are returning to the Fringe after their award-winning show last year and the signs so far are Barbershopera II<\/em> is going to be just as successful.<\/p>\n
