Look, that's plainly Waterloo. You're not going to Edinburgh, Durham or Lincoln from there. Terrible spy.

I have booked two shows between those suggested here and on Twitter. I still have plenty of windows so there's definitely a chance I'll add more. But also want to leave options open for word-of-mouth and fun flyers when I get there. Which will be tomorrow. It is time....

OK, the ticket is purchased. I will see you on the 10th.

Last call for @edfringe.bsky.social @edfringecomedy.bsky.social @edfringefocus.bsky.social Fringe shows to see. I'm starting to buy my tickets this weekend. #edfringe

This is all well and good, but I saw you 2 (two) years ago, Potty.

I put out this call last year (on Twitter) and ended up buying tickets for 21 shows (out of about 80-90 people who responded). Several were ones I'd already clocked in the programme, but I also uncovered some hidden gems I'd have never otherwise seen. Pitch away! #edfringe #edinburghfringe

The rules: this is NOT 1st come 1st served. If I like the look it's on the shortlist, and I may or may not then decide to attend. I'll be up from 8th - 25th. I'm just a punter and wield no influence. I just want to see some good stuff that I maybe hadn't noticed in the programme. 2/3

Ok, it's time. 14 days til @edfringe.bsky.social starts, 21 days until I arrive. I have an open schedule so I am after suggestions for shows to see. Mainly comedy, cabaret or theatre (preferbly not too heavy, but open to serious if it's intriguing). I promise to book at least 2 replies. 1/3

Yes, yes, the first 4 words are all unadulterated South Carolina, but what's going on with 30% free? Is that buy 10 pay for 7? Or are three out of every ten Catherine Wheels kept in a cage in the basement?

It's about that time.

Best way to win is to win a Game 7.

But then again...

This is definitely saying something about life in 2025....

Leaving aside whether you think he's doing you dirty (he isn't), why would you go out of your way to ruin your own title party?

Yeah, it's not exactly going well. Let's try Taskmaster instead. #thefootball

Never more apparent that it's filmed in the UK than when they do the surfin/skeetin' safari.

Yeah, ABC (anyone but Celtics) in the East. I'm Warriors (from the before times - only game I've seen in person was in Oakland in '03 vs yet-to-be-crowned Pistons), so I still want them to win. But failing that OKC would be good. No LA teams until LeBron is gone. Feel sorry for Luka though.

The East

Yay! Basketball Brydie is back!

Scott Parker weeping into his cardie.

I got varifocals for the first time about 9 months, tried to stick with them, but it never improved. Went back to my old prescription and it's much better. Doesn't always work.

I feel quite foolish that I didn't realise, until seeing the title in the listings just now, what the name of @marjoleinrobertson.bsky.social's show at this year's Edinburgh Fringe was going to be - despite her telling everyone it was a trilogy and me knowing the names of the first two shows.

Best of luck. We'll both need it!

So I was sitting in the Pleasance Dome, just behind NZ Taskmaster's assistant & ardent Fulham fan Paul Williams watching the 1st game of the season when Joshua Zirkzee scored with 3 minutes left to steal yet another one. I slumped. He slumped. Honestly, I'll swap this for that. #MUNFUL #FACup

Well, they got the worst draw, but yeah, it's gonna happen (speaking as a Fulham fan).

Saw the show at Soho today. Loved it. Hope you can make it back for Fringe. I know it's a WIP and there was some gold in there but I know that your origin story bit didn't get the best response from our collective visages today. But please don't cut the nose joke despite our face.

I'm so, so sorry.

YOUNG MAN, there's no need to feel down

good time

London Broncos were kicked out of Super League for this?

Only the Chiefs could get spectacularly blown out and still find a way to ruin it. 40-12 would have been Scorigami.

Harvey Elliott really helping Fulham's Cup run there. Always liked him. #FFC
