So at the weekend I was at two comedy shows. The first one a local monthly night. Run by the class act that is Des McLean it’s a really good night and had Phil Differ as the headliner, most famous for being a writer on chewin the fat an only an excuse? Scottish classics. it’s a great night but can become a bit samey at times. Also had Tattoo Dave, Al Thompson and Craig Alexander on the bill.

Felt I needed variety so on Saturday I did the 5pm Big Show at Monkey Barrel in Edinburgh, my favourite of the Monkey barrel Saturday shows. Mick McNeill who is very good Nina Owens Friday a slightly goofy American, Ryan Cullen a great comedian with a dark side. The headliner was Sikisa. not seen her live before she is a class act and has that magnetic energy the best comedians had. George Fox was the compare he’s a great host ad excellent at bringing the audience together.

What are your favourite comedy shows. These are two of mine.

Wow 40 years my first year was 2003. Fortunately I am only 30 mins from Edin on train. Can normally do 12-15 full and part days. Love mixing comedy with the other shows too. Have moved more to cabaret over the years.

Anyone started planning the Fringe?

Have done a first sweep of the comedians, this is my first list…. There will be additions and people I don’t get to see. Waiting till next release of tickets before I start to purchase?

Personally Reuben Kaye…. Or Miriam Margolies or Nish Kumar but don’t think they would want to be as overtly political as that…. If he is able Billy Connelly but realistically Alfie Boe would be interesting

Great idea. Is this something that could be developed with the help of the community they could send links in for you to verify. I am thinking Olga Koch has 2 full lengths on you tube. Frisky and Mannish have at least 4?up. The links could be sent in for someone to verify and add too

Chris Cantell and Stuart Laws….I can highly recommend Catherine Bohart and Lauren Pattison both were Amazing when I caught them in Edinburgh
