The end is nigh and its bloody lovely. Don’t get me wrong, this year’s festival, has, thus far, been awesome. But as Rich Sandling was saying to me the other night, if we weren’t enjoying it we would be such horribly broken people. I am so very tired, my throat and chest hate me and […]

There are lovely small moments or events in Edinburgh that make the festival special and different every year. Last night two of these moments occurred one after the other. The first was while sitting in the bar at the GRV. I had been to buy a drink and had feebly asked for a cup of […]

Hello again wall. Nice to see you once more. Thanks for encouraging me to drink all the whisky last night after a chat with Pete Johansson about what the point of it all really is. I was feeling relatively happy until enough people told me they were feeling shit about everything then I started to […]

I keep bumping into people that are excited about having Marmite on toast. I am definitely part of society that enjoys Marmite and does not hate it, but I’m not sure I would go so far as to say I ‘love it’. I love lots of things but my feelings towards Marmite, while very fond […]

A week and one day to go. It might not seem that far away for a lot of exciting things, but in terms of the Edinburgh festival, it still seems miles and miles away. It’s about this point where I really miss my own bed back at home. We had a discussion about beds last […]

Once again I have failed to incorporate blog time into my day and I am about to head to the Underbelly to see Collins and Herring’s podcast. James of Twitter Comedy Club fame kindly bought me a ticket some time ago, and we both overlooked the dangers of watching anything that’s on earlier than about […]

Hello. Here is a proper blog. It will contain many things. If you are concerned about how many things or perhaps are worried about an overload of things, then please look away. I understand that yesterday’s blog was more minimalistic than an ant’s impression of Dan Flavin (check my knowledge). So while you may have […]

There is loads and loads to blog about today but I am too busy to blog about any of it. This is entirely my fault you understand, due to staying out slightly too late and not getting up early enough. However, you, the blog reader must suffer for my incompetency. What I suggest is that […]

Back to the grind today. Well show actually. There shall be no grinding here. Instead there will just be more shows. I think after a day’s rest I’m up for doing my show all over again. It felt nice not saying all the same words yesterday and I’m oddly looking forward to doing the whole […]

Edinburgh Day 15 – Day Off

Its finally my day off today. To ensure I spend it the way I should ie resting and prepping myself for the rest of the fest, I cleverly drank my face off last night, to the point where the whole of today is a write off and I feel like a broken man. My plans […]
