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...
Rosie Wilby – The Further Science Of Sex By Jason Blackwater That’s right I’m catching up! This may be brief in one sense but informative in an entirely different one. the sort of informative that doesn’t necessarily contain any, you know, information. We’re into the fringe proper which is why the ol’ blogging has...

So it’s the afternoon after the lunchtime after the morning after the night before and we’re one show down. A good show with a lot of promising moments. The songs were great and here’s a fabulous example of one where big sister, Rebecca, thinks everything she has should be bigger than what little sister, Katy...
Today’s moral of the story is this: don’t assume you have a technician. Not even a ghost of one. This morning we’re sorting out a voiceover for the start of the show. We weren’t planning on doing it quite like this but it turns out we won’t have any sort of techie so we need...
