Pick of the Day: Edinburgh Fringe Preview Day (in LA) 7/23

One of the world’s biggest and most preeminent performance festivals, especially when it comes to comedy, is the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Thousands of shows that happens over the course of a month and every square inch of Edinburgh, Scotland becomes a show or part of a show.

While that’s all brilliant and it’s a blur of dazzling, mind bending show after show after show after show after show, there is the issue of actually getting to Scotland and where to stay during the festival. That usually runs up a tab of several thousands of dollars and not a lot of folks just have that in a back pocket they forgot about.

So, The Elysian is doing LA a solid by putting on a whole entire day of preview shows for The Edinburgh Fringe  on Sat. Jul. 23rd featuring many of LA’s most daring performers putting on their solo shows one last time before they head abroad with it.

So that’ll feature

• 11 AM – Amber Glancy: Wine Show
• 12:20 PM – Brianna Ahlmark: Gertrude
• 1:40 PM – Kylie Brakeman: Linda Hollywood’s Big Hollywood Night
• 3 PM – Amrita Dhaliwal: Driving Around
• 4:20 PM – Brian McElhaney: A Completely Untested Hour of Stand Up
• 5:40 PM – Hannah Pilkes: Woman On the Verge
• 7 PM – Kate Berlant: Like You’ve Never Seen Her Before
• 8:40 PM – Business Casual: FERAL
• 10 PM – John Norris: Mr. Chonkers

You can either buy tickets for the first five shows for $18 or second four shows for $26 or get access to all of them plus admission to Tomorrow! with Ron Lynch for $60. That’s still thousands of dollars cheaper than actually going to the Fringe if you weren’t tabulating the math. Go get your tickets here.
