The Free Festival doesn’t kick off until tomorrow, yet already the Facebook updates are coming in. The Twitter ones may be too, but since I joined Tweetdeck, I’ve been less inclined to read Twitter like I used to. Perhaps I should fix that. The point is this – people are in Edinburgh, some shows are … Continue reading »

Eric Mutch – Debrief Edinburgh Fringe 2011
The Fringe was a rough ride for Eric, he broke his ankle at a preview show in Exeter, he was nearly arrested at Waverley station upon arrival in Edinburgh for swearing at a train guard who wouldn’t let him retrieve his child’s push chair and he spent the entire month living on a camp site … Continue reading »

Ian Fox – Cockgate and my part in it
I’ll assume you’re already familiar with the story of Cockgate being as there was some great pieces in the media and it was all over twitter (just search #cockgate). If not this piece basically explains it. Firstly just for the record I am the one who coined the term “ghost cock”. The fact that term … Continue reading »

Him and Me TV – ….It Is Now!
I’m at home, in my flat in Salford. Feel better rested after a sleep in my own bed without Shea in the same room, didn’t have even one pint yesterday and didn’t have to flyer. I also feel green with envy reading the ridiculous amount of #edfringe, #espfringe and #edtwinge hashtagged tweets and various star … Continue reading »
Ian Fox – Cockgate
Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2011. The most talked about event of Fringe 2011 is cockgate. Kunt and the Gang‘s £10 worth of stickers has seen him threatened by comedians, alleged talk of legal action and workers from Edinburgh Council telling him they spent all last week pulling off over a hundred c*cks. You can read the … Continue reading »
Him and Me TV – Confidence Crisis
Today’s show wasn’t a classic. Half full venue (or half empty depending on your outlook) which is fine as the space is filled sufficiently, it’s just that the audience reaction wasn’t as loud as we’d have liked. This also happened yesterday, the place was packed, but we didn’t take the roof off when we really … Continue reading »
Ashley Frieze – The Run In
Last blog post before going to Edinburgh, so here’s one last bit of advice. I got this advice from working with the owner of this blog site – Mr Ian Fox. Since I joined The Great Big Comedy Picnic in 2005, there’s always been a “run in CD”. This is a single mix of music … Continue reading »
Ashley Frieze – Two Sleeps Til Christmas
When I started this blog, I was writing from the comfort of not being due at the Fringe for many days to come. Things have now changed. I’ve got 2 more nights at home and then I’m heading up to Scotland. I’m finding my days quite difficult to get through and my attention span and … Continue reading »
Him and Me TV – Comedy, Comedy, Comedy…..Riot?
Apparently there’s a riot or summat somewhere? It’s weird being in the Edinburgh bubble as I’ve hardly watched any TV (which is ridiculous for me to be honest) so I’ve hardly seen much about the riots gripping the nation. But in all honesty, if it ain’t performing, flyering, watching comedy, talking about comedy or thinking … Continue reading »
