The Edinburgh adventure is nearly over.  Crikey.  It’s not been bad either.  I bumped into Mark Thomas, congratulated Lemn Sissay on his fantastic show and had a quick chat with Kate Copstick, TV Presenter & chief comedy reviewer for the Scotsman.  I was thinking of investing a bit more money next year - bigger venue and so on but…why bother?  According to Kate, and I agree with her, the free fringe is where it’s at.  That’s where the producer’s and promoters are to be found.  Ready to discover New Talent.  Apparently - just like it used to be!!!

I have learned some distressing things about Edinburgh Fringes Financial side, and had my posters ripped down by aggravated board renters, also met some, for want of a better word, theives who call themselves venue managers.

I’ve also had a bloody good laugh sharing good times with great people.

Well - another audience review is here, this one from Katusha.  The reviews, inclusing this one are all 5 stars except the top one which is 4 :

Funny?Its side splittingly funny!This is poetry as you have never seen or heard it before, well at least i havent.The Monkey Poet was fantastic. Keeping you on your toes and throwing out different material for your feverish consumption. Plus he is not afraid to interact with you, you are really part of the show. Hillarious and grotesque all at the same time. Must see!Plus its FREE!!!
