Hi - Katy here.  We've been waiting tensely for reviews since the very first preview and finally on show day 11 we have one!  And happily, it's a four-star goodun.  Edinburgh Spotlight think we're 'on a par with Paul Merton' which is great.  We have a previous accolade that says we can 'hold our own against the likes of Merton, Frost and Jupitus' too.  I'm hoping that by the end of the Fringe we will have so many Paul Merton comparisons that we can form a publicity campaign based entirely on how we are, basically, Paul Merton.  Now, I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but my feeling is that a lot of people have only really heard of Paul Merton and no one else from the improv fraternity.  I have also been known to fall off my chair seeing those rare reviews when 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' is not mentioned or if there is a mention of Chicago or Del Close.  Still, I shouldn't grumble.  I'm looking forward to the next big thing being reviewed as 'on a par with Schutte, MacMillan, Urquhart, Blackwater and Rowe'.  Good times. 

We had a great guest last night who I had the pleasure of joining at the shit-your-pants-scary Funny Women Final at the Comedy Store in 2007.  Nat Luurtsema is doing very well for herself.  She has even changed the emphasis of her surname so that comperes can cope with announcing her!  Here's a little treat from Nat and the Maydays all about overly close personal bonding...
