Pink bus

Pauline McLean | 09:09 UK time, Wednesday, 12 August 2009

pinkbus_226.jpgHow do you miss a pink double decker bus?

Perhaps it was its late arrival, and thus, non-listing in the Fringe brochure which meant The Pink Bus failed to make our list of .

There have (of course!) been bus shows before but not this one, which is making its first appearance in Edinburgh.

Inside it contains half a car, a fireplace, a love corner with Mills and Boon wallpaper and a bar made of old cans and vinyl.

Performers who will be hopping on-board while it's parked at C Soco Urban Garden, include Paul Foot, Simon Munnery and Patrick Monaghan, Adam Hills and George Ryegold.

Not to mention music from the Banana Sessions - who are well used to transport related gigs, having last been spotted playing on the Glasgow Underground during the annual Subway festival.

With just 26 seats, it's one of the more intimate venues on the Fringe - so intimate in fact that Paul Foot invites all the family to pop on their pyjamas for siesta story time.

The bus was created by Victoria Brook and Caroline Fletcher who spent their final year at Art School making the Pink Bus from recycled material.

For a pound, members of the public can take a look around (between shows obviously as it's a big of a squash otherwise.)
