Kate Copstick, Edinburgh Festivals, 25th July 2016Gilded Balloon venue's deal excretes on Fringe spirit
We hope to stage the annual Malcolm Hardee Comedy Awards Show this year, as usual, on the final Friday of the Edinburgh Fringe - 26th August - but not in its normal venue of the Counting House Ballroom. This is because, today, The Gilded Balloon (a pay-to-enter venue) has 'poached' The Counting House venue(s) - including the Pear Tree and Blind Poet - from the Laughing Horse Free Festival and so we are looking for a new venue in which to host both the increasingly prestigious (but now homeless) Malcolm Hardee Comedy Awards and for the daily Grouchy Club.
