How Dare They? - September 2015 September 2nd, 2015

‘How dare all these refugees want to come over here and escape their terrifying war torn situations? I’ve been watching the reports on the news and I am disgusted that we are even beginning to let any of these other human beings shore up in the UK, instead of pushing them into the sea or […]

EdFringe 2015: Epilogue - August 2015 August 31st, 2015

I’m at home, in my PJs, after having slept in a bed that wasn’t just a thinly designed cover for a bag of springs, and having eaten food with vitamins in it. I am the sort of tired you can only have after performing nearly every day for 3 and a bit weeks straight. I […]

Fringe Benefits Pt 2 - August 2015 August 27th, 2015

It’s now only 3 sleeps till I’m allowed to go home and I thought I’d write an update to THIS BLOG as some people seemed concerned that I was a bit miserable. Fear not all three people that read this, I’m really honestly not. It is hard to get the Douieb down, and I can […]

Fringe Benefits? - August 2015 August 25th, 2015

Tonight at the fringe I saw one of the comedians whose material I’ve enjoyed for years, do one of the best and most well constructed stand-up shows I’ve seen at this fringe. Afterwards he told me that he’d had the lowest audiences numbers this year than ever before. He’s not on telly. He probably won’t […]

Everyone’s A Critic - August 2015 August 18th, 2015

One of my least favourite things about the Edinburgh Fringe festival other than the rain, the length of it all, Saturday crowds, Friday crowds, Sunday crowds, Monday crowds…oh ok, sorry…are the reviews. I understand why the world believes they need to happen. There are 3000+ shows here at the fringe everyday and so the best […]

The Folly Of Human Conceits - August 2015 August 16th, 2015

A seagull shat on me today. I stood outside a Fringe venue, waiting to go in and perform and the offending article rained down on me from high, it’s viscous black liquid rebounding off my head and onto my hoodie. I had been mid-conversation with two people who were explaining to me why they won’t […]

It’s That Time Again - July 2015 July 31st, 2015

Somehow it is August again. Don’t worry, I’m not baffled by how time works. I’ve got a watch and it has a proper big and little hand on it and everything. I just mean that time seems to fly by in a way that makes me assume it’s having a lot more fun than anyone […]

Marching On - June 2015 June 21st, 2015

I went on the anti-austerity demonstration yesterday through London and have consequently spent today not doing all that much at all. I did about 14,000 steps according to the hugely unreliable counter on my phone that I base most of dietary and exercise requirements on and will probably someday regret. Until then I’ll continue to […]

A Pint Of Human Kindness - June 2015 June 10th, 2015

I like finding new things. In these days of mass internet usage there seems to be a new thing every two minutes to share, or tell everyone it’s the funniest or saddest or most emotive in some way thing you’ve ever seen. Even if you’ve said that just the day before about something equally as […]

Typical Human - May 2015 May 28th, 2015

Before you continue, I should warn you that this blog is nothing more than a moan. Not a sexy one either, or a nicely spooky one that comes from your cupboard when no one’s in and means you go to sleep later than you planned. No, no, this is a bog standard argh-something-else-that-drives-me-up-the-wall-more-than-Spider-Man’s-car-which-in-itself-annoyed-me-as-it-was-created-solely-for-merchandise-purposes moan. The […]
