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 […]

One day to go until my day off and I’m feeling back on form. My duties today involve my show, followed by getting sworn at for 10 seconds at Seymour Mace’s show and then going out and drinking until my eyes bleed. Please note: eye bleeding result is optional. I’ve often used the term ‘drink […]

A short blog today. The reason for this is that I think I hit the wall yesterday. It wasn’t a particularly bad wall, and was certainly not covered in anti-climb paint or even rude graffiti, but it was a wall nonetheless. I didn’t realise I’d hit the wall until I was about 15 minutes into […]

One day a law will be passed that bans anyone from interviewing or talking to a comedian before 12pm on any given day. The exception to this rule would if the comedian had been up all night and was still awake, which might marr the interview somewhat, or if the said comedian is in a […]

My throat hates me. If it had the ability to think and speak all by itself, then it would give a slanderous interview to a tabloid where it would say I have subjected it to varying degrees of abuse. Then it would get a big front page spread and lots of stupid racist right wing […]

I’ve only gone and done it again. After feeling shit yesterday and having a stupidly long day of shows, I seemed to decide the best way to rest and get me through the day would be to do it all over again. They say you should learn from your mistakes and I feel that the […]

I’m a bit hungover today and need to whip myself up into shape to go and talk on Radio 4 in an hour about how poor the festival makes me every year. I’ve never talked on Radio 4 before, not even a little bit but I expect they want people who have coherent and clever […]

Its finally raining today. Oddly its a bit of a relief. We all knew it would happen at some point and now its all over and done with I feel much better. Its a bit more like Edinburgh. Lets hope it stops at that and all the crowds don’t disappear, all the critics get angry […]

Its another sunny sunny day here in Edinburgh. I can’t help but feel confused and suspicious about this. I mean, as much as I love it being all sunny, its really not within Edinburgh’s character to do such a thing. Normally it might eek out a tiny bit of sun before drowning several children in […]
