Salmond’s Fringe show sells out

Former first minister of Scotland Alex Salmond will be watched by sell-out crowds at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

All 5,250 tickets for the former SNP leader’s two-week show at the Ballroom in the Assembly Rooms on the Capital’s George Street have been snapped up.

‘Alex Salmond Unleashed’, which will run from 13-27 August, will share “a bit of light-hearted banter and a few behind the scenes revelations” according to promoters. The former Gordon MP will host celebrity guests.
