The fringe is really starting to happen properly now, as much as it feels like I've been here forever already.
HG was another goodun today, I feel like I'm on a bit of a roll with this now. Maybe not quite as strong as yesterday, but the audiences are creeping up and everyone who has seen it, really, really likes it.
HOP was really strong, too. In fact, it's the best it's looked since the Dublin performance in April. It usually works when Eamon is in the choir because he's so loud and audiences just really take to him, and it really helped today that we had a group of 8 drama students sat in the front row. They were lovely (and generous), as was the rest of the audience and we gave them a proper party. If it's like this every day, then we'll be onto a hit. Sadly, I know it won't always be as easy as this.
Dom's show was fine, he seems stressed, but the pianist and I are clicking really well and I'd like to work with him after the fringe if possible.
Something... was weird. Looked like a no-show, until 2 very sweet Swedish girls turned up telling me how they'd ran for 20 minutes to get to my show on time because they liked the blurb. I started the show, I was polite but clearly talking too fast for them, so we just played ABBA songs instead. It was an odd one.
I'm getting back early most evenings (ie; 10pm) with the intention of writing, but because my shows this year are so physically draining I'm just heading back, eating pizza and watching classic Drop the Dead Donkey episodes. I have friends up later in the run, which will involve late-night Pleasance Courtyard drinking, so I'd best get my stamina up.
