chortle news

edfringe news

plus a review from chortle and one from metro (not yet online). only 5 more shows to go – where has the month gone?!

chortle review

three weeks review

edinburgh evening news review

and remember, kids, it’s at c venues @ 5.30pm until the 25 august and it’s really kick-ass. oh yes.

things that happened yesterday:

1. we were all on tenterhooks about whether the show would indeed go on, due to the bad case of laryngitis that our groucho was suffering. thanks to the wonders of lemsip and chicken soup, he went, he grouched and the audience loved it. woo.

2. we were all exceedingly pissed off to discover that someone had slapped a load of “cancelled” stickers all over a wodge of our posters. bastardsrsebadgercuntfaces.

3. we celebrated jessie (leading lady) ’s 20th birthday in the bongo club, where none other than heather graham was also partying. well, get that.

4. some of us left the bongo club early to go and take part in the C venues event of the festival – 60 acts in 60 minutes. we were one act in one minute – which saw the director and I backstage with the giant pineapple brothers and trev (from trev and simon) while three marx brothers ran on stage in their pants and hats to do one fo the sketches. the pants – well, they didn’t have their costumes, so they did in in their comedy boxers. we laughed, the audience laughed. all was good.
