Today was the dread of all days. The final Monday. However, it was suprisingly event free.
3 Man Roast was excellent and I do believe I finally relaxed onstage. LOTWAA was pretty awful with a diffident, uninterested and tiny crowd. One couple told us they had just walked out of their two previous shows and proceeded to walk out of ours. I was wondering if that was there hobby. Like their own audience hokey-cokey.
Once again it struck me I must get at least 10mins of just jokes in my set. I have always had problems writing "JOKES" as personally I don't enjoy listening to jokes very much. Jimmy Carr and Milton Jones tend to leave me cold. I tend to prefer the acts whose sets are built on wit more than anything.
I ran into John Osbourne's whos show John Peel's Shed is almost the talk of the Fringe. Then I went to see John Kearn's Dinner Party with John Kearns and Pat Cahill.
This was probably the most enjoyable peice of nonsense I had seen this Fringe and I highly recommend it
This is a short blog as I need a nap

Day 12 - Perpetual Motion
3 Man Roast was not on Sunday so I spent most of the day lazing on a Sunday afternoon.
Will and I met up for lunch and, as our press blurb says, we did'nt perform because we were eating.
Will and I had a 2 Man Roast. It was almost spiritual. Even if the lunch descended into our writing a series of hilarious Doctor Who based jokes utterly incomprehensible to anybody except fanboys (and girls).
After that I went off to do LOTWAA in the evening and was, once again, lovely. This is becoming an uncomfotably regular occurence. According to the bar staff our numbers are larger than any of the other shows and all our audiences are if not universally wonderful then never unpleasant.
I also have picked up some followers on Twitter from the show.
This was my last LOTWAA for 24 hours as Monday night I am off the Pleasance to watch The Wrestling.
If its repeated next year and I'm not in it I shall cry. Given my general physical resemblance to The Undertaker and my hobby all the roads are pointing to me. Give me a Goldberg gimmick and the match writes itself.
I'm not saying I should be there as that's what you should be saying.
Then I closed the evening hanging around with Norwich's finest John "5 Stars" Osbourne and Tim "The Leader" Clare.
Then I had a relatively early night which is unheard of at the Fringe
