If you got your idea of adulthood from F.r.i.e.n.d.s but reality hasn't met expectations, if you fail to be in the moment and find yourself living through your phone, and if you feel connected online and profoundly disconnected from people offline, this is the show for you.

Simon Caine asks performers to donate food to charity

"Every year I buy food to eat during Edinburgh and I never get through it all. I either leave it in the place I was staying or throw it away... this is such a waste and has to stop. So I am in contact with a food bank to do a big collection somewhere in the centre of the city."

Buddhism, cats, a missing podcast and a death

So, yesterday, I went to see Simon Caine's comedy show Buddhism and Cats at The Caves in Edinburgh.

Where to find the Cowgatehead comedians

There was a row before this year's Fringe even started. It left many comedians venueless and searching for a new home: The Skinny seeks out the whereabouts of the 'Cowgatehead refugees'.

Edinburgh Fringe shows with more cats than YouTube

Kittens in kids shows, cats in comedies and theatrical pussy. There's a lot of feline at the Fringe.

More details

Simon Caine is 28-years-old. As a result, everyone is under the impression he's an adult, but he feels closer 16. He is unsure of his place in life, he's easily confused by the world around him and suffers with a daily existential crisis.

This year Simon lost two grandparents to cancer, then moved out from under his parents' roof for good (he hopes). He moved in with a super-slick, calm and collected flatmate (in other words he got a cat). Join him for an hour(ish) of hilarity (maybe) about having a girlfriend (honestly), yoga, meditation, depression, death, suicide and how real life cats aren't what YouTube makes them out to be.

If you got your idea of adulthood from F.R.I.E.N.D.S. but reality hasn't lived up to the expectation, if you live more in your head than in the moment and if you feel connected online and profoundly disconnected from people offline, then this is the show for you.

At the time of this page being published, the show is approximately 10% Buddhism 90% cats and 80% written.
