Edinburgh by Kieran Hurley

One dreich morning during Edinburgh Festival, a student is back home handing out flyers. Written and performed by Kieran Hurley.

It's a dreich August morning during Edinburgh Festival and a 22 year-old student is home for summer, handing out flyers.

What does it feel like to have your home town turned into a stand-up comedy theme park for tourists every August?

It's a story of soggy flyers, disappointing encounters and splitting headaches. It's also about that transient moment when teenage memories and adult hopes are as raw as each other.

Original short work for radio written and performed by Kieran Hurley.
