@KitchNate Is that you in the image credit?
Heard I'm On Fire tonight and couldn't get the image of Joz Norris out of my head:

Pitch: A TV series where literary superheroes Charlotte Brontë and Oscar Wilde defend the world against an alien race of evil librarians.
The theme for "Brontë & Wilde" will be recorded by Steppenwolf.
This app, whatever it's called, has now gone back to using the "For you" feed by default. For reasons beyond comprehension this means I now by default get a feed containing an unpleasant amount of far-right bilge.
If I suddenly disappear from here, it will be because of that.
I love people from Edinburgh, but someone needs to explain air circulation to them. If you put a fan inside a room, then all it does is move hot, humid air around, while creating extra heat.
You need to put the fan in front of an open window or door to get any lasting effect.
That's #edfringe over for me. Apologies if all the phlegm and snot I've been coughing up these last few days ends up blocking the Edinburgh sewer system.
I saw 52 shows in 12 days, which is very low for me. Highlights include:
- @JuliaMasli
- @Real_Royal_Male
- @AltComMemSoc
- @paulfoot
- @Consignia1 and associates
- The gorilla
New (to me) acts I will be keeping an eye on:
- @LachlanWerner
- @KitchNate
- @caitrionadowden
- Alice Cockayne
- @CharlieVMartin
- Paulina Lenoir
Today's #edfringe schedule:
- @Consignia1
- The gorilla show
- @AltComMemSoc
Might throw in @MrJohnNorris as well, just to see what could possibly make @jlukeroberts behave like that. :-)
5 people for @Consignia1 today, of which 1 walkout. Normality restored. 5%.
Today's #edfringe schedule:
- @DuffMarvel
- @EleanorMorton (character show)
- @Consignia1
- @AltComMemSoc
Might throw an extra show in, depending on things.
Note that @Consignia1 played to a full room last night. What are the odds?
Today's #edfringe schedule:
- @olliehorncomedy (Toast)
- @supertheplay
- @MarnyGodden
- Paulina Lenoir
- @AltComMemSoc
Everything except ACMS is tentative, as I'm not feeling all that great. Apologies if I've tagged you and end up not making it.
I'm also very tempted by another @JilParvis/@Birthday0Queen show and/or Creepy Boys, but it depends how I feel tonight.
Now there's an #edfringe show! @JilParvis and @Birthday0Queen, Banshee Labyrinth, 8:35pm. Approximately 50% walkout rate within 20 minutes, and the rest of us loved it.
Today's #edfringe schedule:
- Daniel Kitson
- @CharlieVMartin
- @JilParvis
I'll probably add another show or two to the list after missing a couple of planned shows yesterday.
