Post Edinbugh Festival

I've been back a few days now and highlights for me were Barb Jungr, Kevin Eldon, Arthur Smith, Andi Osho, John Maloney, and Simon Callow. Also saw Hattie Hayridge in a sketch show which was good and had a couple of drinks and a chat with Ardal O'Hanlan. Found out that he's a big Leeds United fan....who'd have though that?

Rory Tour Day 2

Left Brighton at 6.45 am heading for London and a mid day rehearsal with comedian Steve Gribbin. Got snarled up in the Blackwall Tunnel. How do people do that every day. Arrived at Warwick Arts Centre at 3.30. All set up now for tonights show...featuring Jon Gaunt and Dave Nellist and a couple of people from the University. Back to London in the morning for another rehearsal with Steve, and then his first show in Islington. Lots of miles today.
