Ten years on

I had a good day yesterday. The weather was warm and sunny (well, grey, but I'm now working on Edinburgh expectations so it felt warm and sunny) and I had a really enjoyable show. I think it was the best of the run so far, in front of one of the smallest audiences. There were only about 20 people in, but they were really nice and I enjoyed performing for them. I think there might have been a reviewer in as well, but I didn't spot anyone writing notes, so if they were there it was in disguise...

The strangest thing about the show yesterday was that during it I discovered that a family in the audience had previously seen me ten years ago in Edinburgh when I performed in my first student show. It was nice to think that they recognised me and decided to see what I was up to now, and quite bizarre to realise that it was a whole decade since my first show here. Someone also came up to me in the Dome and said that they really enjoyed The Big Briefcase, a show I did six years ago. The nostalgia just keeps on coming!

I had another very enjoyable gig at the 99 Club last night, and then tried to get a bit of an early night, which in Edinburgh terms means before 2am. I just about managed it. I've got quite a busy weekend, with two shows plus several extra gigs including a very late one at Spank! on Sunday night. Then Monday is my day off - I have no idea what I'm going to do!
