That\u2019s it, pack up, go home, jump on a train, fly away, it\u2019s time to give Edinburgh back to its residents. But before you do…<\/p>\n

…there\u2019s just time for my annual top ten moments from the Fringe. It\u2019s the usual eclectic mix of songs, jokes, touching moments, performance and silliness \u2013 the final 30 minutes of everything you love about the Fringe and another reason why you\u2019ll be back next year.<\/p>\n

I know I will.<\/p>\n

My Top Ten Moments at the Edinburgh Fringe 2010<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Occupier
<\/em><\/strong>Sometimes an interview goes for pure cheese and asks a comedian what their favourite joke is. Which I did with Gary Delaney.
Purist<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Fringe Binge
<\/em><\/strong>Keeping everyone on the level with a running tally of jokes and observations, Fringe Binge on twitter was an underground hero.
@FringeBinge<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

The Noise Next Door
<\/em><\/strong>If you can improvise music, be careful if you\u2019re asked to improvise a love song to Kate Copstick of The Scotsman.
Chaos Control<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Ian Kendall
<\/em><\/strong>The same line, in every show, every year. There\u2019s something comforting about \u201cDo you know the one about gravity?\u201d
I Said I Wouldn\u2019t Do This Again<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Schnell! Schnell!
<\/em><\/strong>The interview that made my kids day, and the joke in the kids show that had me laughing out loud \u2013 even if no=one else spotted the reference in the crowd.
Dan and Jeff\u2019s Potted Panto<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Stewart Lee and Frank Chicken<\/strong>
<\/em>What\u2019s not to love about an internet campaign to vote Frank Chicken as a Comedy God and not give it to the TV stars du jour? Exactly.
Stewbilee<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

The Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre<\/em><\/strong>
Come to the Fringe to get on the telly, get on The One Show in the first day, job done. Just the small matter of another 23 performances to get through.
On The Telly<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Frisky and Mannish<\/strong>
<\/em>If you have a song that lampoons all your press coverage from the previous year, then the correct place to perform it is obviously at the Underbelly press launch in front of the same journalists.
The College Years<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Terry Alderton<\/strong>
<\/em>Interviewed for the second podcast this year, Terry opened up to talk about what it\u2019s like to not be in the top flight of UK comedians. A great interview that reminded me why I enjoy doing the podcast.
Terry Alderton<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Tripod<\/strong>
<\/em>The winning wookie noise in a pre-interview chat, the best merchandise, a CD that I\u2019m still <\/em>listening to two weeks after the show \u2013 a triumphant return to Edinburgh with something a bit more than silly songs.
Tripod vs The Dragon<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
