Timely Review

As if by magic, following my post yesterday I found the latest copy of Fringepig in Espionage today and it was carrying this rather nice review/recommendation. With any luck this should direct a few more audience our way with a flair for writing.

Show-wise it was my day off for Clash of the Tight Tens. Sonia Aste was on MC duties and reported back that the audience had been smaller than usual but more generous in the bucket department. With this in mind we braced ourselves for a few empty seats at FWP and headed into the city.

Edinburgh was quieter than usual and with 15 minutes until showtime we had just 2 audience members. However, when it was time to press play on the iPad we had 15 in, almost all aged under 21. This demographic has been patchy for us in the past but it wasn't the case on this sleepy Wednesday afternoon. Halfway through the first track it was clear they were all up for a good time and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves for the next 45 minutes. The bucket may have been light (as you would expect with students) but it had been a good show and that's what really mattered.

Later on we were back in derelict Bar Bados for Simon Caine's Single Comedians show. The diminutive crowd enjoyed what we did and we particularly enjoyed the final act. With friends and family up for the next few days we'll be getting out to more shows.
