I'm sorry for being so absent on this blog- ya girl is very busy. Here is a quick summary of my life at the Edinburgh Fringe over the past few days.
My shows have been going amazingly. Now the hordes of people I knew who I begged to come are being replaced by actual strangers, which is very exciting. Last night (Saturday) I knew about five of the audience members there, and the rest of the full room had come of their own accord. Very exciting. Also I think I had a reviewer in and it was one of the best shows yet so hopefully that will go well. Stay tuned. Speaking of reviews, click here for a review of the guest spot I did in Pollyanna, where I'm called 'a clear showstealer' by ScotsGay. Putting that on next year's poster.
Oh yes, next year. I'd love to do another stand-up show but I'd also love to do a play. I'm thinking of creating a verbatim play about how to be a 'man', to be delivered as I'm taking off all the drag from the stand-up show I've just done, if that makes sense. I'm notating it here so there's some expectation and pressure on me to actually do it, and also to see if there's anyone who'd like to be involved/interviewed for the play. Stay tuned. Again.
I also did a guest spot at a show called Club Sol Party, which was one of the best times I've ever had at the Fringe. It was basically a 90s holiday resort, with Mauve Coats and classic poolside entertainment. I did my Avril Lavigne/Les Mis mashup again here, and a couple of people gave me a standing ovation, which was lovely. The rest of the show was hilarious as well, so definitely go. Expect inflatables. And speedos.
Also I got a new wig:
Note the weird bunching around the crotch. Sexy, right?
I'm also considering doing a bit of a stunt where I walk the length of the Royal Mile in my 8.6" heels. Let me know what you think.
Tonight I'm back at CC Blooms, at Sanctuary of Sin, doing my number about homosexuality. Very exciting. If you're in Edinburgh, feel free to come along! Because it is free.
Hopefully I can update you on this tomorrow. Last time I went to CC Blooms, however, I almost got kidnapped by a wine merchant (memz), so that could happen again.
There were lots of links in this edition. It's like I'm a straight teenage boy who wants to smell nice.
GET IT????
No, nor do I.
