Edinburgh Fringe 2012
The Edinburgh International Festival may have come first, but generally it's the Fringe that Edinburgh is best-known for. There's really nothing quite like it - "the largest show on Earth".
The stats bear that out: the 2011 Edinburgh Fringe saw 41,689 performances of 2,542 shows in 258 Fringe venues. It's a sprawling, anarchic, sleepless month of live performances. There were also 607 free shows at the 2011 Fringe.

Come to Edinburgh. See the Museum of London
As the promoters of the Great Edinburgh Run say, a 5k or 10k jog through the capital is a great way to see the Old and New Towns in all their glory in a fun, energetic fashion. "Make a weekend of it in Scotland's historic capital city," says the web site.

Dom Joly: Welcome To Wherever I Am, Queen's Hall, Review
Dom Joly’s career path could hardly be described as uninteresting, and his first live show, ‘Welcome To Wherever I Am’ spends much of its time looking at what Dominic John Romulus Joly got up to over some twenty years in television and other ‘meeja’. Joly is an undeniably engaging performer, and kept his Queen’s Hall audience comfortably in hand (and sometimes in check) for an easy-going two hours or so.

This is an utterly delightful, frequently hilarious, and charming piece of nostalgia that proves to be an auspicious debut from director Richard Ayoade, better known from TV’s "The IT Crowd". It’s a visual and aural treat, beautifully shot and bordering on parody of the nouvelle vague and thoroughly reminiscent of the kind of fashionable imagery decking the pages of 90’s fashion mag The Face.
