With a little over two weeks until the start of the Fringe, I suspect many of us are all still trying to plough through the programme. Faster readers will probably be around ten per cent of their way through the comedy section.

British Comedy Guide, 12th June 2019Vladimir McTavish on paying Fringe staff properly
While some venues, notably The Stand and Summerhall, pay their staff the Living Wage, there are a number of promoters on the Fringe who are dragging their heels in terms of properly recompensing their front-of-house and bar staff, many of whom will be working 12-hour shifts and not having a whole load of fun while the rest of the city parties into the night.

Here's my recommendations for ten brilliant acts who are all as Scottish as a highland terrier chewing shortbread on Loch Lomond, while a junkie shoots up, signs on, and stabs a guy in a kilt eating haggis, drinking Irn Bru and shouting "Och aye the nooooo."
