Dreadful Nonsense

"I've read your blog. it's really funny. you should write a column." - Jon Ronson

The Fringe Programme hit the streets of Edinburgh today, and I had the pleasure of running from my offices in the West End of town to the Royal Mile and back again in under an hour, while trying to read through the whole programme to Susan who stayed on the phone to me from London for the duration. Not many surprises in the comedy section, although there were one or two acts we didn't realise were coming up. Most of our time was spent looking through the music section - there are lots and lots there that I'm quite excited about, but particularly the appearances by The Reindeer Section, the apparently-not-split-up-at-all Divine Comedy, and Jack L.

And even more fun throughout the afternoon as I searched through the comedy section again, counting all the acts that had used quotes from reviews I wrote in the last two years. I'll tally up the final score tomorrow and let y'all know. I really must get to bed.
