SPIEGELTENT MADNESS

Although I moaned about the Spiegeltent last year, I went back this year. 23.50 in!!!!!!!! 23.50!!!!!!!!

The Spiegeltent is part of the Fringe Festival. The Fringe Festival is backed by ever major sponsor under the sun, including the likes of the Arts Council. The purpose of the Fringe Festival I would imagine being to introduce people who don't usually investigate the arts to take a look. If your a regular gig goer, there wouldnt be anything majorly ground breaking about it.

So where do they get off charging 23.50 entry fee. Shouldn't it be more like a fiver? Shouldn't the Fringe foot the bill, isn't that the point? Am I missing the point? Somebody help me.

Once inside, I found expensive drinks and rude people.

The whole thing made me very unhappy.

Speaking of which, watch this video a friend pointed out to me just today...makes you think.
