Review: Tell Me Where Home Is (I’m Starting to Forget) Slick, self exposing one-person show

"Secrets and denials, which are shared with us as if we were best friends at a sleepover, speak to a self-inflicted damage caused by running away"

Hi Edward - I'm a reporter with Deadline News - we're a Scottish press agency who sell stories to the national media, with a particular focus on hyperlocal Edinburgh news. Thank you for pointing to this data - I was thinking of running a story on it today. Could we use your graph and credit you?

For a cafe I love Books N Cup but there's one in the Argonaut Bookshop which is lovely too, and one in Waterstones with a great view. You must try Alby's sandwiches too!

Hi Stephen, I'm a local reporter for Leith-based agency Deadline News, and I've seen a lot of these stickers around. Do you know who is disseminating them?

Hi Michael, I'm a local reporter for Deadline News. We'd like to do a story about the strawberry moon in Edinburgh last night - could we use your photo with credit?

This is absolutely awful, I'm so sorry. I'm a local reporter for independent Leith-based agency, Deadline News. Would they be open to chatting to us? My pms are open

If that's all good and you'd like to add any comment then do let me know! I noticed the people featured on the tickets went on to DJ northern soul for years and some are still active - lovely to know they kept that passion alive.

No worries - we would be focusing on the tickets rather than the photo

Hii, I'm a reporter for an independent agency in Edinburgh. Just thought I'd ask - is there any chance you got screenshots of the comments?

Used to be used by Wrappers Delight, delish wraps and coffee got me through most of uni 😆 Now the owner has a cafe round the corner on Buccleuch St - called Le Petit Bleu I think..
