Edinblog: Trilogy, The Bugle and BBC
Guess which one of these cool squares I just visited this morning?There’s something brutal about waking up at 6am while in Edinburgh while you’re in Edinburgh Festival timezone. Not that I’ve been socialising particularly much, but even so, it’s been 2am bedtimes, so waking up early feels like someone’s done ...
Edinblog days 10, 11 and 12
What, maybe you're getting behind on your entirely self imposed publication schedule.The last three days have been a very busy time, doing spots, trying to remember the three separate solo shows that comprise The Trilogy for tomorrow, and of course, trying to do credit to ETHOS.It's turned a little rainy and th...

Day 8 and 9: Edinblog
Yesterday (Tuesday) was a glorious show and a lot of fun. A bunch of fans of Stuart Goldsmith’s inside comedy podcast came along to the show and then we went into a bus that is also a vintage cinema and did an interview about comedy that made me feel a bit overexposed.I’m no good at talking much after shows, so thi...
Day 6 and 7: Edinblog
Today (monday) was very relaxing. I had scheduled no extra promo spots, so I had only the kids show at 3pm and ETHOS at 7.55. I had brunch, I had a nap(!), I ate a lot of things. I chatted to my dad on the phone who has just finished a long walk in the lake district. It paid off in spades, and tonight was the most love...
Day 4&5: Edinblog
Been a busy last few days. Friday’s ETHOS was very loose and messy but a lot of fun and a delightful audience. Tonight was much slicker on my end but with a more “hm, theatre, mmmm” audience. Not sure if that’s a Saturday night thing or if I was just subdued after a double-kids show.<br><br>Today (yesterday aka...
Edinblog Day 3: Courtroom Drama
Day three of Edinburgh (second show, final preview, holy crap my numbering system is getting out of control) was lovely.I woke up and did a little bit of exercise - some body weight and core stuff. You have no idea how virtuous getting any kind of healthful activity feels in Edinburgh. Other than walking up thousands o...
Edinblog Day 2: Opening Night
So I don’t know where today went, except that it was a lot of putting bits and pieces together for the show tonight and thinking about the show tonight and buying a table for the show tonight and finding a tea place to do my pre-show tea drinking.There was some sort of industry party that I didn’t go to in favour o...
Edinblog Day 1
Here we are again! Today was Tech run for ETHOS, finding out my room for the show this year is downstairs in this gorgeous monster of a building, and meeting the flyering team. Tech run is where you go into a room to meet the people who will do lights and sound for your show; who will be very bored watching it every ni...
Democracy and Free Speech - Train Thoughts
Democracy is a lovely idea - the egalitarian principle that everyone should have a vote, worth the same amount as the next person, regardless of their station, wealth or influence, is simple, was revolutionary and has shaped our ideas of how the world should work.Of course, that’s not quite how democracy actually wor...

Tonightly With Tom Ballard
This is my very jetlagged but lots of fun set on Tonightly.
Television lag-time
I just did a set on Tonightly with Tom Ballard, which was a lot of fun. The show is recorded ‘as live’, which means I now get to wait on jetlagged tenterhooks for an hour or so until it airs and then I get one or three of three things on social media. 1) nobody says anything on social media.This is okay, though sin...

Be Careful
This argument is back. How can it be so boring? How can the gut-punch horror of a young woman dead in the grass of a familiar park have slid so quickly into familiar news-cycle hot-take territory?We get told to be careful a lot. We tell each other. We tell our friends. I hear it from my brother, my father, myself. It&#...

Reupload if you have sound issues
Reuploading the last Tea With Alice podcast because it was only coming out of one speaker. If yours sounds weird, just delete and reupload. All mea culpa. I'd blame the jetlag, but tbh it's probably just that I'm bad at sound editing.
