My Festival: Marjolein Robertson
The Shetland stand up is back at the Fringe combining folktales with reflective stand up. But where does she go to escape from it all?

Did you know with a Digital Subscription to The Scotsman, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... There are thousands of shows at this year's Fringe. Please tell us why we should come to yours. Do you like stand up? Do you also like folktales? Do you want to experience a new genre where both are mashed up together? Then come see my new show! Lein starts with the year I moved to Amsterdam and had the worst year of my life. I lost my flat, my job and then was robbed. But out of that terrible year, I started my journey into comedy and the hour goes on to explore what happens next. I've combined this story with a beautiful Scottish folktale of magic and dreams. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad If I was real smart I'd give a name to this blend of comedy and folktales. But as you can see with my last two show's being called 'Marj' then 'O' and this one as 'Lein' I'm still just working out how to spell my own name. But yes an hour of stand up, a difficult journey in my life and a magical tale to tie it all together. What will we learn from your show that we didn't know before? I have created a new piece of science that can tell us a lot about where you are emotionally as a person. By looking at who you fancy in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. Trust me it works. And you can trust me. I have a Masters in Archaeology, was ordained by a website when I was but a youngling in 2003 and one time I even almost completed Super Mario Bros 3. Genuinely though, this science works. For example: Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad If you fancy Legolas, that's lovely, but so basic. His one job is looking into the distance and telling the others what he sees. He's basically binoculars. But with pretty hair. You need to emotionally mature. If you prefer Aragorn: oh no, you think you've matured, but not emotionally. He's so emotionally unavailable because he's soooo worried about his own problems. Which he is running from, by the way. Gondor's not had a king in 976 years and he's running around, bursting through doors dripping wet, and seducing elves and women. He's basically Middle-earth's answer to a DJ. You need to emotionally mature. Maybe you like Sam? Because he cares, cooks and will literally carry you up a volcano. Wrong, babe. He's only carrying one person up that volcano and one person only. Frodo. He's not got eyes for you. You need to emotionally mature. Find out the only stable choice at my show. Marjolein Robertson | Contributed What's the best review you've ever had, and the worst? Best review was a five star, pick of the week, review by the List for my show Marj. And the worst review was a two star review for a show I did back in 2018 before I even knew what I was doing as a comedian. Both reviews were equally terrifying as they made me question how can I ever be funnier in the future. Don't worry. I'm OK… as long as my reviews are. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad What are the best and worst things that have happened to you at a festival? Every year I like to find a special, beautiful and scenic spot that I can sit in every night. Sometimes it's been a park, sometimes some old building's steps, one year was up Calton Hill. Every night after my show I would climb up to the top, sit on the monument, looking at all the lights of the city and take in all the excitement of the Festival. Worst thing is I usually find I'd just sit there and cry in the dark every night. It's a busy month. What's the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night? Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad I'm a bit of a night owl. So at night I tend to stay up in the dark hours, sit on your house roof, only leaving to swoop down on a mouse or a vole. I'll devour it raw or take it back to feed my young in the old oak. Then in the morning I wake up screaming surrounded by mouse skulls and crawl down from the tree and pretend to be a human for you. So you can come watch my show at 8.20pm in the Queen Dome, it's called Marjolein Robertson: Lein and it's stand up with folklore and takes you on the journey of how I got into stand up and what that is actually like and are any of us even OK. But there's jokes. Don't worry. Marjolein Robertson: Lein, Pleasance Dome, 8.20pm, until 24 August. Robertson's storytelling show The Hillswick Wedding is at Shedinburgh, 6pm, 4 August only.

Here Are 45 Male Celebrities Who Bleached Their Hair And Surprisingly Pulled It Off
Recently, Superman star Nicholas Hoult has had the internet talking (and thirsting) after he successfully went blonde. NGL, this dropkicked me down a rabbit hole, wondering what other celebrities looked like with bleached hair. So, when redditor r/Classic-Carpet7609 suggested that every dark-haired famous man should try peroxide on this thread, I had to share the findings. Keep in mind, while Orlando Bloom as Legolas was everyone's brunette-to-blonde awakening, I'm only including natural hairdos going double platinum and not store-bought bussdowns. "As someone who's attracted to dark-haired men, Legolas had me in a fucking CHOKEHOLD." —u/ThatsMrsKrasinski2U Below are dark-haired celebrity men who bleached their hair, both from the Reddit thread and also my own brain: ANGELA WEISS / AFP via Getty Images, Raymond Hall / GC Images Efron "Blonde Zac Efron looks like he's about to take his sixth expedition to the continent of Africa."—u/AstroBearGaming Horan "Please don't forget about my OG bleached guy 😔 Looking back though his hair was FRIED around 2014/2015." —u/roheni Rogan "Seth Rogen in Platonic changed me. I'm generally into guys with dark hair (my husband has nearly black hair) but this, this made me question my whole life 🤤🤤🫣🫣" —u/notyounotmenoone Related: Blyth "I'm not proud to admit this in any way, but Tom Blyth had absolutely no right to look as good as he did with that young Coriolanus Snow blonde wig/bleached buzz cut. I don't know how or why it suited him so well, but damn." —u/getmeacampari "Peroxide Tom Blyth changed my whole perception of blonde men... and blue-eyed men for that matter." u/peaches_peachs Dempsey Williams "Blonde Robbie Williams was everything." —u/SergenteDan Malik "Zayn Malik's face card clears." —u/fatbacc Peters "i mean 😍😍😍" —u/crutonacrutona Gosling Yang "My king Bowen Yang." —u/manycats4u Teller Davidson —u/SomeFirstTimeHigh Jackson —u/Miele-Man Related: Messi Starr —u/angelyka3 Beckham Beckham Jr. Schulman —u/No_Place2613 Pitt Taylor-Johnson "Aaron Taylor-Johnson looked great blonde as Count Vronsky! He's also just really handsome." —u/borkborkymous Lochte Related: Messina "Blonde Chris Messina was so great." —u/AshlingIsWriting Marsters Timberlake Clooney Slater Blue Smith Smith Levine Puth Bailey 32.G-Eazy Disick Related: Howerton Bloom Bieber Haynes "Okay this was the first one I remember. I was born in '95, and in elementary school, all the boys went through a peroxide blonde faze because of Eminem." —u/envydub Jonas Hill Zakhar Perez "Taylor Zakhar Perez is hot blonde or dark haired." —u/jael001 Ahmed "Riz Ahmed is hot no matter what, but when he's bleach blonde it's so hot." —u/b_needs_a_cookie Stan finally, Nicholas again because he got that sh*t on. Did we forget anybody for anybody? Let me know in the comments, and I'll add them to the list and give you props, of course. Also in Celebrity: Also in Celebrity: Also in Celebrity:

AMANDA PLATELL: Nasty Orlando Bloom knows exactly what he's doing. The second I saw THAT picture I realised his game... even if everyone else has missed it

But now Orlando Bloom's showing how disloyal he can be – just days after news of the breakup from his fiancée Katy Perry. He has been snapped canoodling and flirting with not just one but several women at the Bezos wedding celebrations in Venice.

Orlando Bloom Will Return to 'Lord of the Rings' With One Condition
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors With "The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum" on the way, the question of who may or may not return to reprise their roles from Peter Jackson's Tolkien adaptations is heating up. Orlando Bloom, who played the elf Legolas in five of Jackson's films, says he would definitely reprise the role with one potentially controversial condition: AI would need to aid his performance. Read More: The Controversial 2025 Snow White Remake is Coming to Disney+ for Streaming Speaking to MovieWeb, Bloom said, "I think first of all, I'd like to see [Legolas] the same age as he was [in the original trilogy]. So, AI would have to come into play. I think I'd like to see him lithe and breezy and warrior-like so AI would have to come into play. "And I think if they asked me, I would say, 'Absolutely!' It would be so fun just to go back to New Zealand and spend however long they want me there for. Because honestly, if you want to be anywhere in the world right now, New Zealand is the place." Orlando Bloom as Legolas in "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King." Orlando Bloom as Legolas in "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King." Warner Bros De-aging would, of course, be nothing new to the Tolkien adaptations; Bloom was digitally de-aged for his role in "The Hobbit" films. Bloom's willingness to return to the role of Legolas isn't surprising. Back in April, the "Deep Cover" star answered questions about playing Legolas again with, "I always think that if [Peter Jackson] says 'Jump,' I say, 'How high?'" At the time, he acknowledged that "the magic of the moment" of making the original trilogy could never be repeated, but said he still cherished the idea of playing Legolas. "Being in that headspace of Legolas is awesome," Bloom said. "My ADHD is gone; I am focused. And that's something that I would always embrace because it's this crazy, meditative state of being all-knowing and all-seeing, which is such a cool feeling." "The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum" is set to release Dec. 17, 2027, and director/star Andy Serkis recently revealed that filming would begin sometime between the beginning and middle of 2026. So, whether Bloom or anyone else from the previous films will reprise their roles, we could be hearing about it relatively soon. Should he play Legolas again, the elf archer may not be the only beloved film role Bloom reprises. He recently hinted that another "Pirates of the Caribbean" film could be in the works, and even went so far as to say, "it'd be great to get the band back together."
