Hello everyone!
My, how things have changed since my first post. Not in any significant, world altering way, but in a way that I've now performed on stage at the Edinburgh Fringe for several days consecutively. Happily, I can vouch that they've gone pretty well, pulling in audiences far exceeding the "passed out tramp and lost tourist" nightmares that haunted me in the few days before I got on the train (that was actually a lie, as usual I had nightmares about an evil pharmaceutical corporation hybridising women and cockroaches).
Moreover, I feel settled and comfortable in my new surroundings (not quite sure why I phrased that as if I were addressing a therapist - implying something, perhaps?), Edinburgh is a fantastic city, steeped in a culture and history unlike anything seen in newer cities... There's also rain, a lot of rain, but that just adds to a Hitchcockian charm, I suppose.
In between these neurotic brain waves, I've also found time to take in a couple of shows. Of particular note were a family entertainment show "King Arthur" which made creative use of direction to breathe new life to the classic fairytale, "Debbie Does My Dad" a story of lust, love, life and having a dad who's a porn star, and "Bad Bread" one of the most promising sketch acts I've seen in a while. Admittedly I've not seen any sketch acts at all in a while, but they were still awesome.
Anyway, I should head off now, I have some potato waffles in the fridge that aren't gonna binge eat themselves...
