I think it’s fair to say that Fringe Fever is in the air, as this is the first full week of the Fringe. It makes the job here a little more difficult than usual, as there are literally hundreds of events on around the city, to check out. So, you’d think it would be a quiet week on the gigs front, that there’s no way things of that sort would clash, right? Well, this week we have Leonard Cohen in town, with other performers such as LeAnn Rimes, The Staves, Neon Neon and Macklemore, to name but a few. Yes, yes, yes, where to start…
Theatre
The Fringe Festival is now in full swing, and there are lots and lots and lots… Still, our old friends Major B and Streetcar continue. You can get our latest reviews here.
A good way of checking out what each venue is up to is by searching the fringe festival by venue, such as the Project Arts Centre, Smock Alley and the New Theatre.
Major Barbara continues at the Abbey Theatre until Sept 21st. We like it, and our review is here.
A Streetcar named Desire is at the Gate until Sept 21st (it’s top notch, our review is here)

Gigs
The legend returns, and ok, yes, he is milking it, but he’s still Leonard Cohen. The live show is nothing less than fantastic. Other gigs include Neon Neon, Fuck Buttons and Macklemore. Jetplane Landing deserve a mention for their first gig in a long, long time.
