Bad day.

Or bad gig really. The day was great. Spent it with Helena, Lina and some other FTWers at Edinburgh Zoo. The zoo doesn’t really live up to the high standards of the rest of this lovely city though. One of the crappier ones I’ve been to.

Anyway, gig was no good. I wasn’t focused. Probably because of fatigue. Mixing late night shows and parenting is always a hard thing to master. Even more so here, where I seem to be constantly stressed out. Anyway, no biggie. You´re bound to have some bad ones now and again. Back in the saddle tonight.

I have a great bunch of people over here working with me, helping out with everything from Lina to flyering and all in between and they are a committed team. Somebody told me yesterday, one of my flyerers took the stage and did 10 minutes from my show. Apparently it was perfect…

No more reviews that I know of, but the article from The Guardian came out yesterday.

On another note, the big news yesterday was that David Whitney was arrested for head-butted a heckler. He’s a friend of mine, and so are the people running the show but I haven’t spoken to any of them about it. Kate blogs about it here, Chortle writes about it and so does The Scotsman and most likely every other british news paper. Just in case it needs to be said; I don’t condone violence in any way and especially not if it’s aimed at your audience. No matter how obnoxious they might be.

This, however, is a classic. “Ok folks… Show is over.”

    Whitney is from Dundee. Much like heart attacks and heroin addiction, head-butting is all part of the traditionally charming Scottish national character….

    Hey man, that’s the spirit! Right back up on that stage doing what you do so darn well, conveying something serious and still having people on the floor laughing, black magic i say!
