Edinburgh One Night Stands - How To

Stand up to make your date go perfectly. Edinburgh Fringe Festival - so who should you go see to make sure you get another date? Or who should you go see to send the message that you’re not interested?

Wau Wau Sisters

Burlesque – either they’ll run screaming from the room or you might have uncovered another side to your partner that makes dumping them suddenly less attractive.
