Comedian and writer Max Olesker has expressed his view that packing light for travel is not the ideal approach. He argues that preparing for a trip should be an adventure in itself, rather than a focus on minimising weight.
Olesker recently travelled to the Edinburgh Fringe for his first solo theatre show, "Max Olesker: Making the Cut." For this journey, he packed extensively, including day and night outfits, gymwear, swimwear, a dressing gown, and multiple books.
He utilised a large Globe-Trotter suitcase, which he filled completely, and then packed an additional full suitcase as a precaution. His show is scheduled to run at the Edinburgh Fringe until 30 August 2026.
