A Fortean at the Fringe - Part III

The third and final part of Gordon Rutter’s Edinburgh Fringe round-up.

Insect Circus @ Spiegel Garden

Last year we had the Insect Museum; this year the Museum was back with a larger, added attraction. If you are thinking of ancient flea circuses and Michael Bentine’s Potty Time fear not, this was the real deal, and you could see it without the aid of a magnifying glass as the circus owners were thoughtful enough to use giant insects. Ok, so for the less imaginative they were people in insect costumes, but hey, this is showbiz - suspend that disbelief.

From the acrobalance of Charmaine Mow and the Antics through to wasp taming it was a truly excellent show.
