Sean Brightman's Comedy Rogueshow
 
Whoa. I haven't been on here for a while. How terrible of me. There's loads to talk about lot's to write, lots to say. I don't know why I've neglected you so. Think I just sometimes get scared to do the things I love. But I'm back on here and we'll start with a couple more of my favourite Edinburgh moments.

3... The final Late'n'Live

Patrick Monahan vs. John Bishop crowdsurfing? Check. Boy with tape on his face? Check. Brendan Burns introducing a whole host of comedians each doing a 90 second set for Abandoman to reinterpret – say wha-...!?!

4... Sip 'n' Snip

I've grown my hair. It's now pretty long. It's big hair. It's the longest hair I've ever had. In Edinburgh, on a recommendation from the lovely Bec Hill, I wandered into the haircutting chair of the beautiful Magda, a lady so gorgeous, down to earth and full of inspirational stories, I could barely believe it. Coupled with the hairwashing-headmassaging-hands of an angel and the genius idea of a shot of vodka (or two) instead of the usual cup of tea or coffee and you've got a dream come true. I walked in fed up with my lengthening hair, not knowing what I wanted. I walked out in an extremely good mood, with long locks, safe in the knowledge my next haircut would be 6 months after (and I'm tempted to pop back for a weekend for repeat custom!), but definitely, August 2011, you'll find me in there one afternoon, having a Snip and Snip. My only advice, if you're reading this and in Edinburgh, please book an appointment and pay them a visit. Check out their facebook group.

SYTYF? scary baby
A scary baby.
The nice lady at 'So You Think You're Funny?' called me up a couple of hours ago to ask whether I'm in Edinburgh and if I was, could I, please, change my allotted semi-final heat on the 16th to tonight? 
So, give-up a week of preparation? A week of many guest spots to hone my craft? A week of 'We Love Comedy' shows and a chance to practice in front of good sized audiences? And possibly most important of all, give up one of my only days off without a comedy spot booked? 
Of course I said yes... Well, it was more like (after half an hour thinking about it): 'Ummm, ok, errrrr, hmmmmm, alright, let's whip that band-aid off...' For all the extra preparation, gigs, our own show and the day off, there is also the weeks worth of niggling fear to contend with and to be honest, I've had a good time here so far and although a bit physically drained, am pretty much as mentally prepared for comedy as I can be, coming off of two good shows yesterday. So I'm going to relax, do some improv games as preparation and try to enjoy every second of the experience later tonight. See you there?
