What are your feelings as you enter into this year’s Edinburgh Fringe season?
Full of the heady mix that is self-doubt and determination as per. Looking forward to eating an omelette at the city restaurant.
What is the premise of your Edinburgh show this year?
The show is about time. It is called The Time Show. I’ve been exploring how I feel about time and how long I should spend on these questions when really I should be working on my show.
What is the biggest obstacle you face(d) while putting this show together?
Knowing that I should be working on my show but ending up answering questions about it instead of working on it. (I’m thankful for the opportunity to talk about my show though).
Has your attitude towards the Fringe changed at all in recent years?
Nowadays I don’t attempt to talk to friends I see in the street who have headphones in. I have a leave them alone when in the zone attitude now.
Do you have any other Edinburgh show recommendations?
Lucy Hopkins, Spencer Jones, John Kearns. Take a punt on anyone who hands you a flyer in a human way.
Where would you like to be in a year’s time?
Packing for Glastonbury instead of wishing I was packing for Glastonbury. Right I better get back on with my show. I’ve got a preview tomorrow.
