Bit annoyed that the Oxford promoter has said that HG was "too intense" for her audience, she's paid me for it, but isn't keen on more. Not sure what she was expecting? People seemed to enjoy it at the time, it is intense but that's kinda the point of it. Let's just leave that there.
Morning spent at least favourite school, which was its usual chaotic self; kids being aggressive, not listening and staff generally being unhelpful. Three hours, no progress made, just an awful waste of everyone's time.
Got a Maccy-D's to calm myself down, this is becoming a bad habit.
Off to London, early tech rehearsal for the 3-night run. Alan M is a total joy to work with, he's a mate first and foremost and he works the desk like a legend. The venue is great, run by wonderful people. Despite advance sales of just 7, we had 22 in tonight, which wasn't the end of the world. Audience smiled a lot but it felt flat in places, performance was 'fine'. Friends in the audience afterwards told me in the bar how amazing it was but I don't believe them.
