AJ Bell’s Fringe on Friday: In Support of The Edinburgh Fringe: Online: 2020
In August 2020, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe should have been taking place for three and half weeks. Because of the Coronavirus epidemic, the Fringe was cancelled for the first time in its seventy-three-year history and the creative arts industry, including comedians, suffered badly as a result. Undeterred, the EdFringe website featured several projects to provide support for Fringe acts and to keep the spirit of the Fringe alive. One such project throughout August was Fringe on Friday – an online show featuring Fringe acts and sponsored by innovative investment platforms and stockbroker, AJ Bell.
Scottish comedian Donald Alexander very wittily described his self-reflection in lockdown and his relationship with his dad when he appeared at the Fringe on Friday online show that I saw in August 2020.
