Izzy and Edd arrived in Edinburgh today, which was great because this run has been a bit flat so far so friendly faces are welcome. The show with Izzy opens next week, the one with Edd tomorrow. Can't say we're prepared for it, but maybe the danger is what my run has been missing?
And they both came down to watch Inadequate Man, they were two of my six audience members. It was okay today, unspectactular, but in a smaller venue that would have worked. It's just such a big room, so difficult to get a vibe going in a space like that. Can I turn this round?
After a little rest we met up with Esther and Jon and drank beer. I nearly forgot I was hosting the quiz, and was on the other side of town - not really expecting anybody to turn up. Ran in, a bit drunk, and the room was utterly full. I needed a wee, so had to dash out before it even started, such an awkward start. But they loved it - it was fun and messy and was on the right side of shambolic. I quite like being a quiz show host. It's easy having questions in your hand and just asking them with a little charisma...it's certainly much easier than having to learn lines or anything like that.
