Taken from my favourite spot anywhere in the #Old #Town to shoot the #castle; with the #Grassmarket below, #Cowgatehead to the left and the #Cowgate itself to the right. I've spent so much time in this part of the Old Town down the years, it's probably ingrained in my head forever.... . (at Edinburgh, United Kingdom)
Edinburgh Fringe Day 6: A terrifying smile and a lack of terrorism security
Edinburgh Fringe Day 6: A terrifying smile and a lack of terrorism security
Yesterday’s blog ended with a mention of believable and unbelievable anecdotes.
Alexander Bennett’s bloody battle to perform
This morning, I had a long conversation with comedian Alexander Bennett – to whom all hail – in which we discussed the idea of simply making up some bizarre – completely false – event which allegedly happened during his Terrifying Smileshow today… simply to promote the fact…

Cunning comic Becky Fury’s mis-billed Edinburgh Fringe show is already a riot
Cunning comic Becky Fury’s mis-billed Edinburgh Fringe show is already a riot
Bad news for anyone confused by the recent flurry of blogs about fake Malcolm Hardee Cunning Stunt Award and connected events.
In a blog two days ago, I mentioned that last year’s winner, Becky Fury, had suddenly had her Free Fringe venue changed and was out-of-pocket to the tune of several hundred pounds for her Fringe Programme entry which now has a totally incorrect venue listed.

I once had to write an encyclopaedia entry on ‘Christianity’ in, I think it was, 23 lines.
It was an utter nightmare because, almost as soon as Christianity started, it broke into schisms which then, themselves, broke into other schisms. One might almost call them catty-schisms.
Or not.
I would not like to write an entry on the Edinburgh Fringe,…

Publicity for the 2012 Hardee annual show
We hope to stage the annual Malcolm Hardee Comedy Awards Show this year, as usual, on the final Friday of the Edinburgh Fringe – 26th August – but not in its normal venue of the Counting House Ballroom.
This is because, today, The Gilded Balloon(a pay-to-enter venue) has ‘poached’ The Counting House venue(s) – including the Pear Tree and Blind Poet – from…

PBH Free Fringe act sacrificed on a road paved with good Edinburgh intentions
PBH Free Fringe act sacrificed on a road paved with good Edinburgh intentions
Sit back with a good supply of tea for this blog. Extensive, exhaustive and possibly exhausting quotes are included. People not living inside the bubble of the Edinburgh Fringe might be advised to look elsewhere.
The whole Cowgatehead saga at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe is too complicated to go into yet again. Read past blogs for clarification but beware your head may explode with details.

Bad signs at the Edinburgh Fringe while I bristle and Lewis Schaffer kisses me
Bad signs at the Edinburgh Fringe while I bristle and Lewis Schaffer kisses me
Lewis Schaffer bestowed his blessings on me
I used to have a beard for 25 years, then cut it off. I think I am going to grow one again but have not yet figured how I can explain this as anything other than laziness.
And I may spend one day without wearing my spectacles.
A couple of hours after I posted yesterday’s blog mentioning Lewis Schaffer, I inevitably bumped into him. He kissed me on the…

Edinburgh Free Festival boss on PBH fall-out and the Cowgatehead fiasco
Edinburgh Free Festival boss on PBH fall-out and the Cowgatehead fiasco
Cowgatehead venue – entrance to the Edinburgh labyrinth… Abandon hope all ye who try to explain what’s happened here.
This year, the Edinburgh FringeProgramme will make the Minoan labyrinth seem like the open plains of the Serengeti (and contain more rogue animals) because of the ongoing Cowgatehead affair. As a result of it, acts are going to be performing in different venues at different times…
