Fringe Day 14: Back To The Grind
Its an odd thing, but after having looked forward to my day off pretty much since the fringe started, I’ve now had it and I’m worried its been detrimental rather than useful. Prior to that, I had momentum. I was a veritable office desk toy of comedy. Tap me and I shall swing. I don’t […]

Its my day off today so I’m gonna keep this blog brief, like a pair of pants. (Regular blog readers from some months back may have missed that phrase. Well fear not, I fully intend to bring it back into the vernacular). So here is just a few notes about the last day or so, […]

I’m typing today’s blog wearing shorts, a tshirt and my trainers. This much information may already be way too much for some of you to handle and I’d like to apologise for the lack of warning about a possible sexytime blog. More likely however, several of you are sitting there thinking ‘Douieb you cad, its […]
Read moreFringe Day 11: THE WALL
I thought it would happen earlier but no, it hit yesterday, on all days, Friday the frikkin’ 13th. I have officially hit the wall. I honestly couldn’t care less today if the fringe blew up or fell over or set fire to its face. I’ve had enough already. This fringe is too long. Its so […]

Ooooooh it’s Friday the 13th. Scary stuff, if you’re superstitious that is. Superstitious is the shittest of all superheros. ‘I am Superstitious! Beware my incredible abilities of being scared of black cats and ladders!’ Useless. I’m not superstitious. Much. I mean if I was to walk around today and suddenly my entire street was filled […]

Its very difficult to kill time in Edinburgh. This is not just because its a concept and destroying it would annoy a lot of people. For a start there’d be no more birthdays, people would be late for everything and Doctor Who would be a tad pointless. Saying that, people also wouldn’t age and in […]

SUPER FRIENDS Yesterday me and Keith high fived at exactly the same time as Paul B and Mickey high fived. This is incredible because a) Paul B can’t high five, b) it was not planned in anyway and c) somehow no one else saw. Keith says we are not super friends till we can all […]

RAINMAN The fringe is all ok now. Officially. I think Sunday needed to be bad so that we could enter the true spirit of going completely batshit crazy at being here for a whole month. It always happens at some point. Sometimes in week one, sometimes in week two, but whenever it does, its guaranteed […]

Well it had to go wrong at some point didn’t it? I mean surely the whole point of karma is if you are going to have several ace days in a row, it needs to come crashing down like a turd in the face with nails in it eventually doesn’t it? I will note, right […]

RUNNING I went for a run again this morning. This is mostly thanks to the fact that last night I actually slept. Yep. Really really slept. I drank no booze yesterday and then had a sleep. You may as well hit the reset button on my brain because I am brand spanking like new today. […]
