Got a flyer through the door....

....that was essentialy junk mail, but for once it was fairly welcome. Was from the Assembly rooms and was to advertise what they had coming on at this years Edinburgh Festival Fringe. I guess i must have saw someone there last year but i can't for life of me remember who, no matter i can already think of a couple of people i'd like to see. If anyone has read this blog at all it will come as no suprise that i'm looking forward to seeing Robert Newman and Mark Thomas. I've seen Rob Newman live before but not Mark Thomas, indeed when i've finished doing this i think i'll go see if i can't book tickets online yet.

Think it was Ed Byrne that i saw at the assembly rooms last year, was funny but i think his joke that he preferred to change his audience rather than change his act might have been a bit to close to the truth having saw him live twice now. Indeed i think i went the 2nd time as it was a change of pace for my long suffering girlfriend who i had already dragged to see more serious political comedians like Rob Newman and Mark Steel in the previous year.

With a bit of luck i'll get to see a couple of other acts, prefarably not remotely political, although the temptation to go see Jeremy Hardy if he is on would be fairly strong, never really saw him do his proper show, just his appearances on grumpy old men and presumably Have I Got News For You. That said there is a lot more to the Edinburgh Fringe than just good comedy shows, Edinburgh is a far more vibrant place while the festival is on, not least because the pubs are open later. If the weather is nice it's good to spend the whole day there, street performances abound while you wander around, nice restaurents, busy pubs and some good clubs also.

So with my holiday sorted, Leeds trip to look forward to and fingers crossed good weather in august i am really looking forward to this summer! Oh aye and the football season will be starting at the end of July to, that is good honest :-)
