Final day of fringe admin stuff, for now at least. Tickets seem to have gone onsale for all the HOP tour dates, too, so 2019 is looking a bit busy already. I just need to be playing more gigs as a drummer, I'm teaching it too much and have dipped to the other side.
Final lesson of the year with one of my regulars, which was lovely as always.
Evening was my final show of the year - HOP in the village. Short on singers, I managed to get V in, but we had a genuine audience of 4 people, plus my mate Alan and the guest comedian's family. Of the four, one of them was a former Blue Peter presenter, but it's really hard doing a singalong show when nobody is up for actually joining in. We lost the four after about 20 minutes so just did the gig to ourselves and I bought whoever was left in the audience a round. During the show. It was that sort of night.
I've had a lot of good moments this year - glimmers of great things at the fringe, the award for Short Plays, the West End performances of HOP, stand up in San Francisco and, as of today, some really exciting stuff relating to the BBC about a script I wrote 7 years ago...but maybe it's time to let these little village shows go?
