Edinburgh Festival Fringe: Five things to do tomorrow

FIVE Fringe shows to check out for tomorrow, including a musical about an unforgettable holiday and the ‘ultimate Jacques Brel tribute’

THEATRE

HALF A PERSON: MY LIFE AS TOLD BY THE SMITHS: This year sees the 25th anniversary of the split of The Smiths, which explains why Morrissey is the subject of two shows at this year’s Fringe. This one centres on William, who drifts from coffee shop to bar, falling in love, self-obsessing and finding solace in The Smiths. Zoo Southside, 7.50pm, £8 (£6), 0131-623 3030

COMEDY

SHAPPI KHORSANDI – DIRTY LOOKS: She’s one of the hottest comedy prospects in the country and the latest show from the Fringe stalwart draws its laughs from her recent, ill-fated affair with a rock star. Pleasance Courtyard, 8.30pm, £12 (£10.50), 0131-623 3030

MUSICAL

Hide Ad

DEPARTURE LOUNGE: Four teenagers, one delayed flight and a holiday they’ll never forget. A hit at last year’s Fringe. Paradise in Augustine’s, 10.30pm, £6 (£4), 0131-623 3030
