That's it. Edinburgh Fringe is over for 2025. To commemorate this, I recreated the ending of Breaking Bad. You can watch it on my Instagram account here:

Today, I had more Edinburgh Fringe punters in via @mrjamesob.bsky.social. They helpfully identified themselves with their quiz team name 'The James O'Brien Appreciation Society'.
I also had a five-star review published today:

21 shows now done, three to go.
If you take one thing home today...
... you may be a shoplifter.
UK police have now started seizing Palpatine action figures.
They come with a walking stick too.
I had my first confirmed Fringe punter today who came from my appearance on Mystery Hour via @mrjamesob.bsky.social. Although he failed to correctly answer who invented darts. Which is, of course, the Earl of Dartmouth.
How To Win A Pub Quiz runs until 25 Aug.

It is I, Alex of the strange foot question fame. I'm taking a trivia-based show to Edinburgh Fringe next month called How To Win A Pub Quiz. It's part stand-up, part actual pub quiz. I think Mystery Hour fans will like it

Nice try, Jumanji. But I know your game.
(Getting trapped inside for decades.)
Keir Starmer is the political equivalent of a bed sheet that absorbs the smells of whatever it comes into contact with.
From Reform, it's stale ale and cheap cigarettes. From the Labour right, it's various types of mouldy excrement from 2010.

I'm not missing out. I may also lose thousands from the Oasis gig due to the extreme accommodation costs stopping people from going to the Fringe and seeing my show.

In my reporter days, every time I went to a parish council meeting, they had a hidden agenda.
I hid it to try and get them to stop talking.
While Andor is up there with some of the very best of Star Wars, I am gutted they never went to Dantooine. And we still haven't seen it in live action.
Mainly because of all the countless hours I've spent pissing about on there on KOTOR.
Wow. What a last line. "I'm Andor. Andor Skywalker." In many ways the whole show was just building up to that moment.
