Window On The Fringe

Different Acts Every Day

The Edinburgh festival must be one of the trendiest bandwagons going, so it's no surprise that a big international company like John Lewis have jumped on. The Fringe Window, now in its third year, provides a space for artists to promote their work and plays host to dancers, actors, singers and comedians alike. The most refreshing thing about the space is the fact it is free to use and has a simple booking process. It also seems slightly more civilised than the Royal Mile (no manic flyering) and offers spectators shelter from the rain. The window offers a space relatively competition free but the crowd proves much harder to please, and those that don't attract an audience become a hilarious spectacle highlighted by the pane of glass.

John Lewis, 4 - 22 Aug (not weekends), 12.30pm (4.00pm), free, fpp 131
