Edinburgh Day 2

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

The first show is in the bag.

Good for a first show, the drummer from dodgy reckons it was the best thing he’s seen. I’m guessing he meant in the context of ‘in Edinburgh’ and ‘today’. After the final two previews; late freewheeling in Liverpool and a very tight show at the lovely Wolverhampton little civic, the first show was nice and comfy, but still needs tweaking.

I was mistaken for Lee (Martin), today while dressed as Danny (Pensive), which was odd. I’m going to use this month research a sitcom called ‘Gigs’n'Digs’ about a happy go lucky comedian who lives with his agent.  Hilarity Ensues.

Edinburgh Day 1

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

Got up at 5.30am. Drove to Newcastle and picked up an Amp for the free Fringeand after seeing my folks in Sunderland, arrived in Edinburgh at 2pm . I set to work putting up some posters at the free fringe venues (I’m at canons gait). I’d over loaded the pockets of my ill fitting cut off combat pants with flyers and on reaching up to apply the publicity piece, they fell down in full view.

bought a new belt.

The flat is ace, and  I can see carl sagan’s massive face from my window (in a shop front advert).  Went to the free fringe meeting where PBH stated quite literally. ‘If the public come, we will kill them’. He rocks.

Went to see Longleys show. It is late, I am knackered.
