Typically the slowest day of the fringe, because it's 2-4-1 with the paid shows. And because I'm so hungover.
Nobody turned up to Short Plays. That's the first time I've had a no-show for 3 days in a row. I don't actually care. I can perform it if need be, but I'm happy to grab some breakfast instead.
Little Sparks was awesome today, big audience too.
The Joe Jackson show had 4 people in, I had a few tech issues and the whole thing felt a bit clumsy but they were mostly onside. Healthy bucket takings at the end anyway.
Comedians Drumming was good fun - 7 in, Phillip and Gillian were enjoyable guests who got into the spirit of things. Format-wise this was the slickest this show has been.
Got back, had a cat nap, ran to the Cambridge Comedy gig and reminded them that I need to be gone by 8pm to make my next gig. The MC went on for so long and I ended up leaving before my set. They seem annoyed by this.
Ran to my History of Pop show, met up with guest singer Elizabeth and then waited for an audience. For ages there wasn't one, and then there was three people - Spanish, who loved it and joined in and we had a bit of a party. Really fun gig, even if I'm aware that I'm losing money up here.
Had an awesome pizza and then caught up with Emily, our director, who arrived today. Lots of good chats about future projects, including next year's fringe (which I've already cast), which she'll now be directing. This fringe feels like it hasn't quite got out of second gear yet, but it's early days. Future plans are exciting, though.
