Dear Edinburgh Festival Street Performers

Dear uni-cycling, miming, hula-hooping, tightrope walking, knife juggling, fire eating, balloon animal making, handstand doing, plate twirling, bagpipe playing, card trick performing, singing, joke telling, death defying, statue standing street performers. You’re a really really good, talented, athletic, creative, hard working and crazy bunch of people. When I got home in the evening and realised I’d spent a few more pounds than I thought I had, it was usually because I’d put some coins in your hats, but it was well worth it. I love your work. You totally deserve a nap and the cocktail of your choice.
