Blow me, some happenings rather than some links to amusing stuff. Anyway…
I spent some time in Edinburgh as it was the start of the Fringe Festival. Stuff I saw:
Stand Fringe Showcase: Primarily a press event, I got in on the basis that JC has a press pass. Basically, around 15 acts had three minutes to do their best bits for the journos.
Shannon Matthews: The Musical: From the Kunt and the Gang stable. I’d actually seen this in advance at the preview in Leeds a couple of weeks prior. The usual quick fire pun and catchy tunes that you can expect from Basildon’s finest. The cast work well with the minimalist set.
Four Funny Feckers: Revue featuring four sets from the London club night of the same name. Wes Dalton, acting as MC, was genuinely exuberant and worked the audience well. Other acts were Michael Akadiri (in line for Dave Joke of the Festival), Caroline McEvoy, Luke Chilton and Sergi Polo.
