So the madness properly begins...
Nobody turned up for Short Plays. It's fine; it's in a venue even I couldn't find and it smells of sick.
That gave me plenty of time to get down to Little Sparks. 4 in, but the performances were great and I hit at least 80% of the sound cues.
Then mad dash over to the first Joe Jackson show performance. A very respectable 15 in. I was a little loose in places but that's kind of the act it is and they were quite generous with the bucket donations at the end.
Back to the flat, pick up the drums, taxi over to the venue and then straight into the Comedians Drumming show. Kate is my assistant for this show and my first guests were Andy v Josh, two old friends. Audience scraped double figures and the format, although a bit rough around the edges, worked a treat.
Quick bit of dinner and then hosted a charity gig for Macmillan. My somewhat, well, fast, MC-ing confused some (we had a lot to get through so it was literally a case of introducing the acts and cracking on with it) but we made a few quid for the charity at least and the room was packed. Steve the headliner, who I've known for years, was outstanding.
After that, the first History of Pop show. Small crowd, but all American tourists who were into it.
Then over to guest in Steve's late night show, to four people. We had an amazing time, because the four were up for it, the other acts (who I now consider to be friends) were superb and everyone came out of it buzzing. I love the fringe.
Home by 12.30am which isn't too bad.
