Life after the Fringe….
So here I am still writing my new book, and loving it. I am still extremely chuffed that my current autobiography had reached number 10 in the UK TOP BEST SELLERS LIST for two weeks and is currently sitting still in the top 20. I am off to London next week for some TV meetings...
All Back to Normality…..
Here I am in Glasgow , I am so pumped with adrenaline that I cannot sleep or properly rest. After the whirlwind of the Fringe, I thought after 80 odd shows I assumed I would go home and sleep like a raped hostage victim, turns out I am still high as a kite! I still have a boil on my...
I have a boil on my cheek…..
I have no idea which Fringe day it is, but so far I have done about 68 shows…I am not sure exactly but for sure 60 performances of my own three shows daily SO FAR! I have a nasty lump boil on my cheek that started as an insect bite, it has now developed into a hard lump and I ended up...
Fringe day ‘who cares?’
I have now had too many late nights! I am loving it but incredibly tired and excited. Though I haven’t yet lost my hatred of that noisy fucking ‘tard’ that dresses up every night and takes tourists on the ghost tour outside my window here in Edinburgh . I nearly pissed myself...
Fringe day, Who Knows?
Today is Friday; it is 2am…I think? I am not so sure to be honest. The Edinburgh Fringe is a bit like a scary time vortex, I no longer know where or who I am. I appeared on the famous BBC Radio 4 show ‘Just a Minute’. This show is so huge and wonderful I was so scared I would fuck it...
Fringe day ‘whatever’..!
I have clearly forgotten what day I am on! The Fringe does that to you. Ashley and I love Square Street, the sketch show that she wrote and I am pissing myself with excitement at the reviews! So far we have had eight reviews covering all three shows and seven have got four stars!...
Fringe day nine…
I have had enough rambling about venues, reviews, performances and all that other crap that makes me smile when I am bored. Here is the low-down. I am fucking so laughing at myself for even attempting to bring along nice clothes, high heel sandals, and fresh new make up. I have no time to wear...
Fringe day eight…
I know I am a slacker, I have been neglecting me blog badly! Last night on the way home from a gig up at Bristo Square Ashley and I came across the same wee drunk man who sits near our flat. He is still saying “Arrgyaddacabbageyuklaucktjsfjh” Fuck knows what...
Fringe day six…
I am appalled at my lack of socialising skills, every night I am in bed by 10pm! Today I got up and had to go do a radio show about my Blog Live! Show which incidentally got FOUR STARS in the List! WOW! That’s two sets of FOUR stars we had got since arriving, because Square Street the...
Fringe day Five…
Sorry I went a day without blogging, I was so fucked up and busy you have no idea how mental it’s been. Ashley and I went on the wonderfully funny Paul Provenzas Talk of the Fest show. It really is just a late night talk show that includes guest comics who talk about comedy from a ‘backstage’...
Day Four Fringe
Not exhausted yet! Everyone keeps asking me if I am tired, like I have cancer or something! Doing three shows a day is fun, I can’t imagine how lazy I was only doing one for the last two years….this is cool! Well the reviews are coming in, one two star and one four star for the very same show...
Fringe Day 3
I woke up in a cold sweat worried sick that my play The Point of Yes would completely fall out of my head just as the show opened today in Assembly Rooms yesterday. Husband walked me up to the venue, laughing at my shaky scared knees tremble, as I slipped and tripped over the evil cobble stones...
Fringe day two
Well last night Square Street opened. It is the sketch show that my daughter Ashley wrote and produced, and that we both perform. Ashley has not performed comedy at Fringe since she had her own show at 13 years old and was worried that what she now finds funny- no one else would....
Fringe Day one
I woke up at 7am in Glasgow , decided I didn’t want to be in this business anymore and curled back under duvet. The warmth engulfed me and I went away on a happy dream about wee squirrels and singing shoe horns. Then woke up with a start and realised that I am going to be late for my run...
Am Home and Mental…
Well, my last night in Barcelona was worth recalling forever. I went out for dinner with a few mates and ended up staying out all night partying. We all ended up staying out all night (not good for me I am 45 and easily fatigued!). Fun? Oh Yes! I didn’t get back to the flat in...
