Ke1t Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Possibly the least funny comedian I've seen. The audience seemed to quite like him, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxWHy4f9W30&t=11s Link to comment

fatjim Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Good to see BBC Scotland supporting the Scottish comedy scene. This program has been on for a couple of weeks but worth checking out. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0005k5h Link to comment

G31DON Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Keep an eye out for late night gigs on the free festival venues, sometimes bigger names appear there randomly to make some extra beer money. Also don’t spend ages trying to plan out seeing loads of stuff, just have a wonder and also pick up random free tickets during the day because they want shows filled for when they get reviewed early on in the Fringe Only just saw this Chewie, cheers. Have been going every year for a long time now, but never been given free tickets, must have a grumpy face. I usually pick something I know I'll like and then a few randoms.Quite fancy Henning Wehn again this year saw him a while ago and was very good, plus it's a 2 hour show so it feels a bit less like you are cattle being herded. 1 Link to comment
fatjim Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Aye. That the fifer boy? He was decent too. He only lives in Fife. He is actually from Edinburgh. Opposite of me. He's a good friend of mine. Really please he got some TV exposure. Link to comment

I always seem to get loads, admittedly I chat to loads of folk and always have a laugh so maybe it’s just me looking like a happy gype that gets them lol. Hemming Wehn is good, didn’t think he’d stretch out a two hour show though? There is going to be some late shows at the Beehive Inn on the Grassmarket. Worth checking out those shows.You doing those shows? I was trying to set up as a venue this year, but not sure if it’ll happen or not, need some acts Link to comment

I am also trying to get a new venue for the night I run in Edinburgh as the venue I ran it in cancelled all my bookings because they are converting their function room into a pool room despite there being a pool hall a minute down the road.

On the free tickets... i used to work in a cafe on George IV Bridge in my student days, so would get rafts of these free tickets. One year i went to heap of shows and 99% of them were absolute pish. Not just sub-standard - but utter pish. At the the fringe you could easily waste a week of your life just watching rubbish. One of the few down sides of the festival. Link to comment

One of the few down sides of the festival. This is one of the things that bugs me. So many people putting on hour long shows when they have about 10 mins of good material. It lowers people's expectations. I was chuffed last year though. We put on a showcase in Morningside and had a crowd of 60 who paid for the show when it would have been cheaper to get on a bus and see shows for free all night. However there is never any guarantee the show is gonna be any good so great that they trusted us to handpick acts. I live in Edinburgh and I don't like performing during the fringe as the majority of people have just wondered in and their expectations have already been lowered by so much shite. Link to comment

fatjim Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Gigging in Glasgow tonight with a secret guest headliner. Apparently someone from TV. Exciting times for Fatjim. (is it really speaking about yourself in the third person even if your name isn't actually Jim?) Link to comment
G31DON Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 How did it go, and who was the headliner? Link to comment
fatjim Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 How did it go, and who was the headliner? Smashed it. It was Terry Alderton who has been on live at the Apollo and was also in Eastenders. He was immense. His set was recorded for Radio 4. Link to comment

His set was recorded for Radio 4.He’s pretty good, also a nutcase during his show but seems a nice chap off stage. He picked on me one Festival and was standing on my chair. Then got me up on stage and hid me in his off stage room for a few minutes and I had to come back on stage making on that something had happened in the cupboard.......got free beer, win win Link to comment
