Edinburgh or bust part 2

Before booking somewhere to stay and coming up to Edinburgh I heard a rumour that the street magician Gazzo was over here busking. He is generally regarded as the top street magician in the world and his act which culminates in the appearance of about seven or eight oranges and a melon from apparently nowhere has been copied by loads of people. I saw at least one other magician doing the act on the Royal Mile yesterday but in previous years I have seen three within a quarter of a mile distance. Amazing really, and I can only begin to think how annoying that would be.

Later on saw Stewart Lee doing an hour show, he is my favourite stand-up as he is light years ahead of most other comics. He plays with the usual structure and form of stand-up in a way that you can only do if you have been doing it for so long. My friend Noel got annoyed quite a lot in parts which made me like the show even more.
