Sweet Shows Rock the House at Fringe Sunday

Sunday was a monumental day for Sweet as we were out and about in the Meadows supporting our performers.

Six Sweet Venues performers took the various stages and showed local and international festival goers what the Fringe is really about. From comedy to drama and even physical theatre, the Sweet acts drew in the crowds.

Fringe Sunday Featured acts from Sweet 2008:

Ginny Davis – Ten Days that Shook the Kitchen
A Brief History of Scotland – We Done Loads!
Wolfgang Weinberger - A GUIDE TO SEXUAL MISERY
Jody Kamali - Backpacker 2
Dan Rothenberg and Colleen Crabtree - Regretrosexual – The Love Story
Sean Choolburra - Live & Deadly & In-Didge Workshops

Weathering the rain, sun and more rain it turned out to be a fun day filled with colourful
Sweet World balloons and bubbly conversation highlighting our innovative and graphically ingenious Venue Guide and the great line-up it holds inside.

Well done!

The best things in life are Sweet.
