With sport often guilty of taking itself too seriously it is cheering to see the comedic side of sport featuring at the 2012 Edinburgh Festival. Amidst the approximately 2,000 shows are two based around cricket. Mushy Ate my Credit Card subtitled Crickets Answer to Fever Pitch by Mark Brailsford and Anyone For Fibber? written and performed by Miles Jupp. Although very different in nature, content and audience appeal both reflect the deep love held for the game by the shows creators and will probably help to engage new people with a sport that has always generated interest in Scotland. Here’s hoping that English and Welsh venues will give these shows the airing they deserve.
