Its the last day of my show today. Not ever. Well maybe ever, but we just don’t know. It feels like this day has been a long time coming, and yet now its here I feel a tad sad. It signals the end of Edinburgh and I have to admit its been a pretty amazing […]
Today is really stupidly exciting and honestly very little else matters. My week has already been filled with encounters with people I’m not sure how to speak to or cope in the presence of, but today it excels to a new level. Yes I was unable to approach Reese Shearsmith or Eddie Izzard due to […]
Thank God its Friday. Although if there is any kind of super deity then they also created Monday’s too and that means we should be giving away any unnecessary thanks so soon. I however am very pleased its Friday. This means it is one step further to the eventual end of things. I don’t mean […]
Layla arrives in about 4 hours, my show is in two and half hours, and so that gives me just about enough time to run around disinfecting our flat from its rancidness before she arrives. Its got pretty grim in certain areas. Well one area in particular, the bathroom. I’m not an untidy person, but […]
The end is nigh and its bloody lovely. Don’t get me wrong, this year’s festival, has, thus far, been awesome. But as Rich Sandling was saying to me the other night, if we weren’t enjoying it we would be such horribly broken people. I am so very tired, my throat and chest hate me and […]

Hello again wall. Nice to see you once more. Thanks for encouraging me to drink all the whisky last night after a chat with Pete Johansson about what the point of it all really is. I was feeling relatively happy until enough people told me they were feeling shit about everything then I started to […]
I keep bumping into people that are excited about having Marmite on toast. I am definitely part of society that enjoys Marmite and does not hate it, but I’m not sure I would go so far as to say I ‘love it’. I love lots of things but my feelings towards Marmite, while very fond […]
A week and one day to go. It might not seem that far away for a lot of exciting things, but in terms of the Edinburgh festival, it still seems miles and miles away. It’s about this point where I really miss my own bed back at home. We had a discussion about beds last […]
Once again I have failed to incorporate blog time into my day and I am about to head to the Underbelly to see Collins and Herring’s podcast. James of Twitter Comedy Club fame kindly bought me a ticket some time ago, and we both overlooked the dangers of watching anything that’s on earlier than about […]
