After a brief spot of flyering for Tight Tens (and it's twice-changed lineup due to drop-outs) I was in the room chatting to a capacity crowd and doing my best with Shake It and a sore throat. The assembled thoroughly enjoyed the whole show and a little old lady enquired if 99FWP had any rude words in it as, "I liked all the acts but I'm too old to hear swearing and things about sex." She took my flyer and promised to come the next day. A recent show also got a user review on the Edfringe site:
After a spot of shopping and eating I made my way to Sofi's confident that it would fill with no flyering. Which it did, ridiculously so. Despite some full rooms in the past, none of them compared to this audience. People were sat in the window bays, on extra stools brought in from the other rooms and peering in through the doorway. The show itself went well though the PA started to show its limitations when turned up to a volume to cope with the numbers, distorting the vocals at times. We used this as part of our bucket speech to buy bigger speakers.
A full soundcheck with be happening today before the show commences.
