Edblog: Aug 23rd/24th

August 23rd started slightly ominously when Tight Tens took its lowest bucket for the run despite solidly brilliant sets from acts who got the room laughing throughout. I put it down to poverty and meanness and crossed my fingers we didn't have a repeat at 99FWP. The finger crossing clearly worked as the show rallied with a similar attendance but a much improved bucket. We had photos taken with one of the younger audience members and a couple of familiar faces from London also put in an appearance.

Today things improved further with the city busy at midday and Tight Tens following suit. A near-full room thoroughly enjoyed themselves throughout and the cash-per-person ratio approached £4. At 99FWP it was a similar story with a very much up-for-it crowd singing along to the tracks and laughing along with the segues. A few more familiar faces were in the near capacity room from both old uni friends and those in comedy and a lot of enthusiastic comments came our way afterwards. It only seemed fitting to round things off with an ice cream on The Meadows.
