A fun wallow in networking and rubbernecking: and it&#8217;s not just comedy. Not by a long chalk! In fact, this year&#8217;s theatrical landmark isn&#8217;t even part of the Fringe. It&#8217;s the truly revolutionary Simon McBurney solo show The Encounter, from Complicite. An extraordinary experience. Other theatre ranges from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland&#8217;s Shakespeare Musical Willy&#8217;s Bitches, to the powerful Simian parable Kafka&#8217;s Ape, starring Howard Rosenstein. There&#8217;s beautiful clowning in Eric the Fred, spirited stand-up from Suzy Bennett at the Counting House, and even balletic juggling in 4&#215;4 Ephemeral Architectures. Hey, Edinburgh in August has *everything* you could possibly want. That includes celebrations of comedy&#8217;s past; notably this year Kevin McNally and most of The Missing Hancocks team taking the BBC recording experience North of the Border, Simon Cartwright&#8217;s uncanny Bob Monkhouse at the Assembly Hall, and Simon Schatzberger&#8217;s beautiful Woody Allen &#8217;60s stand-up set at Frankenstein&#8217;s.
