Are you prepared for what this year’s Edinburgh Fringe has in store for you?
Every Fringe is different. You can’t predict it, so I’m going to just live it day to day and see what happens.
What is the premise of your Edinburgh show this year?
It’s about a man called Dog Poo Darren, who was the subject of a newspaper article in 2000 and it’s about how this article has influenced my life.
What was the biggest obstacle you face(d) while putting this show together?
The fact that a massive curveball was thrown at me a few weeks before the Fringe starts and I’ve had to rewrite the second half of my show.
Who would most enjoy your show?
Anyone with a sense of humour, who likes a good story.
Do you have any other Edinburgh show recommendations?
Yes! Go see Sally Anne Hayward, Hayley Ellis, The Birthday Girls, Juliet Meyer, Suzi Ruffell, Angela Barnes, Evelyn Mok, and a million other fabulous women.
What is your favourite thing about Edinburgh as a city?
Salt n sauce. The vista. The sea. Everything about it.
What are your plans for after the festival?
Detox, get a colonic, buy vegetables, get a cuddle from my mum, and as ever, swear I’ll never do it again. Plan next years show.
