I posted a wee thread about this before, but it seems to have disappeared through inactivity...

I have tickets for a bunch of things, but I'd have to check what... I know Sadowitz is on the list and I have tickets for Sean Lock because despite the consensus here, I find him very funny. Can't remember what else, as I booked them AGES ago.

What are you going to see?
Anyone else going to anything?

Ah, good, a chance to advertise!
From the writers of The Griff Rhys Jones Show -

"Angels with Dirty Habits", which I can personally assure you has been honed down to an hour rather than padded out to sixty minutes. Theatre Arts Centre 10 Davie St.(Venue 16), week one (Aug 7-12) at 21.30.

A snip at £6 (£4), come along if you want aching ribs for the rest of the festival. What more can I say?

Well I knew I'd get the plugs rolling in!

I agree with you Ailie- Sean Lock is a must- without doubt the cleverest and funniest stand-up around.

Go and see The Japanese Beetles at the Queens Hall- truly ridiculous, and WeyHey Its Wrestling at the Switch2 Garden Party- 10 old fat wrestlers grappling each other complete with awful soft rock music and old women!

Late night dance and guffaws- The Cuban Brothers at Gilded Balloon- they were the best kept secret last year- this year it will probably be rammed!

A snip at £6 (£4), come along if you want aching ribs for the rest of the festival. What more can I say?

I can sort you out aching ribs for the rest of the festival for half that. Different methods, mind.

Ah, yes, but the smiles we put on your face won't last for ever either.

PS. Thanks for the "Out of the Trees" script. First class!

>Any of you SOTCAA posse going up to the land of deep fried Mars Bars


I would like to point out the fact we all eat deep fried Mars Bars is a dreadful stereotype.
I have never had one.

That is all.



Fascinating fact:
Apparently a lot of people don't know that people often eat chips with the Mars Bar.

As a Scot by birth, but an English emigre, I would also add that I've never seen a deep-fried Mars Bar on my visits back to the auld country. I did have a deep-fried pizza tho'. That was just plain weird...

>I did have a deep-fried pizza tho'. That was just plain weird...


My brother eats shit like that... I think the little minger even had a deep fried Mars Bar once.
I couldn't do it. It must be like a sponge for grease.

I would recommend seeing Russel Peters. He is one of my favourite comics. I love his cheek.

I prefer his navel.

I'm off to see Sean Lock tonight! Yay!

Make sure you see Russell Peters. He's on at the wondrous Assembly Rooms.

So who is this Russell Peters?

I'm going to the Assembly rooms tonight... Is he the support act?



:0)

Support act??? Pah! He is a comic entity. It's his Edinburgh debut and he is very funny. Not sure what Assembly Room venue he's on at, probably the little one at the back.

What kind of stuff does he do?
Have you seen him live?

He's one of my favourite stand ups. He's an Asian who grew up in a black area of Cannada and his accounts are hilarious.

>and his accounts are hilarious.

Are you an accountant then?

>>and his accounts are hilarious.

>Are you an accountant then?

LOL! Petie! No sadly not, but I have been referred to as something not dissimilar to 'account.'

Kinder: Guess who I saw at the Fringe last night!

I went to go and see sean Lock and I was *really* looking forward to it, but I was about 5 minutes late and the bastards wouldn't let me in! After much grovelling, (I even managed to cry at one point) they said they'd give us free tickets to another show instead. We had a choice of a few, but I picked Russell Peters (following your recommendation) and he was really good!

He focussed a bit to much on the race of the audience for my liking, but he was very funny and really sharp. His ad-libs were phenomenal.

I have to agree with you - he's pretty hot, although the faces he pulls can be rather disturbing!

We had a wicked time, despite the initial disappointment surrounding Sean Lock.
Cheers for the recommendation!

:0)

Well there's trusty fate for you Ailie. Glad you enjoyed him. :)

Oh yeah, if you'd like more close up glimpses of him look out for 'Edinbrugh or Bust' on fridays.

I'm FINALLY getting to see Sean Lock tonight and I think we're going to go and see Simon Evans too.

Might post a couple of comments tomorrow...

Oooh I can't wait.

I thought that would be the case.

I saw Russell Peters last night chatting to the corrosive Marcus Brigstock.


ooooohhhh!

Hanging out with the notorious comedy gigalo? Hmm that is very bad news.

How wos the mighty Locke?

Sean Lock last is brill and I like him a lot.
I love the way his mind works.

"I was just sitting around the other day imagining a world without herbs."

I feel that we could be soul mates.

Anyway, it was a good gig, especially the bit about Michael Flatley being hit round the head by a cricket bat. Highly amusing (in context).

Also I loved the thing about the pope.
Referring to that white thing on his head:

"If you push it down and turn his head, he's full of sweets."

>Sean Lock last is brill and I like him a lot.

I don't know where that last came from.
I swear I didn't type it.

Perhaps you had the phrase "look fast" circling your head and substituted the words you had to make something similar to it. Are you in danger of any sort at present?

P.S The pope joke is exquisite.

P.P.S What was Russell Peters wearing?

>Are you in danger of any sort at present?

Yeah. I'm really living life on the edge, struggling against the forces of evil in the SOTCAA forum.

>P.S The pope joke is exquisite.

I loved that.

>P.P.S What was Russell Peters wearing?

Clothing of some description. I didn't pay as much attention as you would have! I only walked past him in the foyer after Sexist Evans.

Oh thankyou Ailie that is enough food to fuel my dreams tonight. Clothes of some description you say? Ah this man never runs out of material.

Was he looking at Brigstocke in a way as to invite sexual activity at all?

>Was he looking at Brigstocke in a way as to invite sexual activity at all?


He was licking a Magnum, which could be interpreted in a sexual way.
Imagine that for your little fantasy:
Russell Peters, slowly licking a drop of ice-cream from his moist, lower lip.

Are you playing with me? A magnum? Oh God. I am physically delighted.

>Are you playing with me?

You'll just have to work that into your little fantasy, as I am not.

>>Are you playing with me?
>
>You'll just have to work that into your little fantasy,

Is that an order?

Do you want it to be?




















:0)

Ailie how could I refuse any order after the favours you've granted me?

I like your willingness.

Do you think I'm on the road to Bricgstock? Taking back handers and opening myself up for all sorts?

I thought you liked to open yourself to all sorts (Brigstock?)

Sorry. That was a bit predictable, really.

lol. I'd sooner open myself up for a liquorice allsort.

Predictabilty is fun.
