It's All Over


Tonight sees the end of just over two weeks of endeavour, endurance and the quest for the achievement of excellence in entertainment. No, not the Olympics. I mean the Edinburgh Fringe.

I was delighted to perform tonight at the closing ceremony, sorry, show at the amazing Bongo Club Cabaret. Three of my five Fringe spots were here, and I loved every minute- especially getting to see so many fabulous acts of every conceivable variety- acrobats, poets, clowns, singers, dancers, and a good number of indescribable people who don't sit well in a descriptive box.

I wish I'd actually taken some sodding photos.

Salty Meat Girl


Pictured is the incredible and unique Kitten On The Keys, performing at the Underbelly Cow Cafe. What can I say, this lady embodies the Fringe spirit for me -she has a memorable act combining superb piano playing, singing, songwriting, a love of smut and the ability to carry a Toys R Us piano across town. I especially enjoyed continually bumping into her in various Cabaret dressing rooms.

All Of The Planet's Wonders


This was one of the two (count them- two) shows I actually went to see at this years Fringe. And I was glad I did. Josie Long was very funny and her show was a delight.
