The Fringe is over Dear Reader. Thank Christ. 3 Weeks on the trot getting at most 5 hours of sleep a night is a lot to ask of this old, old man.
Snapped the above photo right before seeing Limmy at the Strand.
Surveillance Cameras previously on LTA
I've got 4 more Podcasts in the 'can' as they say; Interviews with Tom Deacon, Limmy, Prince Abdi and Richard Sandling.
I'll get them online as soon as I can.
In the meantime here's my pick of the Fringe - some acts to look out for if they come to your neighbourhood:
Pegabovine
Tony Law's the Revenge of the Dog of Time
Vincent and Allen
Susan McIntosh
A Porthole into the Minds of the Vanquished
Welcome home to sunny Belfast!

Thank you Alan - man, I'm worn out. Right must now get to editing all those podcasts.

Had a look at the Fringe Programme there Matthew - I'd recommend La Clique to anyone - well, not kids I guess. I did a radio interview while in Edinburgh with Camille who's in La Clique (and can be seen in your PDF programme in the Hennessy ad on page 35...man oh man.

What a journey.. Oi Fringe you gave me hepatitus. Almost. At least you gave me a cough from performing in a cave non stop for three weeks.. With dragon ooze dripping down the walls. Oh sweet sweet Edinburgh. That little cave only cost me 2000 pounds for three weeks. So generous that town. So helpful for the out of town impoverished performer. Lending a helping hand.
But you made it fun! You made it all possible the mighty Jett. You kids in Belfast don't know how lucky you are to be surrounded by the manic talent of this hilarious and compassionate man. He's the Desmond Tutu of comedy. Yes he is. Lick him. Lick him heartily whenever you see him.
Yes!

Thank you so much for the compliments Susan - but listeners, if you do see me in the streets around Belfast - please no licking. A handshake or hi-five is fine.

Get some sleep, my friend.
You've earned it.

For all my hard work, i've earned a few free tickets to La Clique, looking forward to it now ...

Excellent - you'll have a good time. If you see Camille - please say hi to her for me.
