This street in Edinburgh has the most appropriate, yet inappropriate, name

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival begins in earnest today, with comedians and comedy fans alike swarming through the city eating all the noodles, taking up all the Airbnbs and squeezing into all the good selfie spots. But the festival isn’t the only funny thing about the place, its town planners have obviously had a sense of humour, if this genuine Edinburgh street is anything to go by.

This is an actual street in Edinburgh. The name, and the layout are real.

Can that be a mere coincidence? Surely not. This is what people have been saying about it.

Never realised it was that shape before, but have laughed at the name for years 👌🏻
