My last show in Edinburgh was Late n’ live at Gilded Balloon. To be honest I don’t really remember much of it. Took the stage after 2 in the morning and I had quite a few pints leading up to that. My last solo show had only 7 paying guests. By far my lowest number all festival. Seems like it was the same for everybody. Maybe ending it on a saturday is smarter. Anyway, I had a nice little show. Decided to start the show by re-funding everybody’s tickets from my own pocket and buy them a pint so we could just enjoy the show. Together. Probably did at least 20 minutes that wasn’t supposed to be there. But I had fun.

Day after we had the wrap up party at the Stand. I paced myself, knowing I had to get up, but that didn’t matter. When we got home at 3 or so in the morning I just completely broke down. I have never ever cried so hard. I was screaming. For mom and dad… And then I found my own crying hystercally funny so I just started laughing like a mad man. I mean really. I almost scared myself. And then I started crying again. Hard. Which made me laugh. And so it went, for about an hour. Strangest thing in a long time. But apparently it worked. I feel pretty rested and good to go already.

Also got another review, this one from Chortle. In all I can’t be anything but happy with the impact I seem to have made on the fringe. Good reviews by everybody but the Scotsman (who managed to give me 3 stars for a two star review) and a really good turnout (except for the final night) It was tough, but it was so worth it. Cya next year Edinburgh!
