The Fringe has spread out to Prestonfield House where there is a star-studded line up for one week only.
Last night it was stand-up comedian Jasper Carrot who sat down to talk about his long career in comedy with Alistair McGowan. And of course the duo had the audience in stitches with their impressions and funny stories.
Carrott began his long career as a singer before developing his comedy career which entertained so many on his TV series.
While these photos were being taken he said: “I no longer play the big venues as a lot of my audience would struggle to get up to the higher balconies.”
Alistair McGowan is also an impressionist known for his show The Big Impression in 2003. He was one of the voices on Spitting Image and has appeared at the Fringe before in An Audience with Jimmy Savile in which he played the disgraced TV presenter.
Mine host is Christopher Biggins who hosts a programme of conversation, cabaret and family events. This year there is an added, intimate venue as well as The Stables at one of Edinburgh’s most prestigious hotels. Fringe at Prestonfield is set to become a hot spot for some of the best entertainment at this year’s festival.
The line up for the rest of the week includes Dean Friedman, Katherine Ryan, Richard Shelton (as Sinatra), I Ran With the Gang, An Afternoon with Janey Godley, The Barricade Boys West End Party and Janet Street-Porter.
