My word it has been a weird few weeks. After my last post my awesome little nephew got taken into hospital and was there for just under two weeks so a lot of my time has been spent driving back and forth to Alder Hey, sitting with him on his cool hospital bed that had a remote to move up and down and in and out, whilst watching Peppa Pig and and anything with trucks on it! However the little dude is all well now..just fancied giving us a scare for a while. I will get him back when he's older..and make him pay for the petrol money I spent! ;)
I am now in the beautiful city of Edinburgh for the annual Fringe Festival which if you havent been is a huge month long festival with a lot of comedy shows, theatre, plays and a whole load of street performers. It's an amazing atmosphere and as this is my third year I can say for sure that it is getting bigger and bigger.
If you didnt know my other half, Luke, is a stand-up comic (hence the reason Im here and hence the reason we have never been on holiday together. I now realise comedians dont earn much for the first 10 years of their career! ) so I come up each year to support him and enjoy the a million and one things to do up here for free! Also I decided to get some gigs up here myself so earning a few pennies too. Win win.
Are any of you up here this year for the festival? Plug time. If you are and are wondering what shows to go and see of course I would recommend the show Luke is in which is called AAA Stand-Up at The Pleasance Court Yard (Venue 33) 7.15pm everyday.
..and if you want suggestions of the FREE shows to see I highly recommend all on the list below (just click the link)
Let me know if you have any suggestions of shows for myself to go and see to :)
