The Edinburgh Crags
Wednesday night in Edinburgh, the rain stopped and the sun came out to play. Even managed to capture a picture of the sun on the Crags through my hotel bedroom window. So with the dry weather, and the festival, it was time to go out and play. First, a quick stop to fuel up with some food, from a kebab shop on the bridges. Must admit the humus tasted of nothing, not even adding politically incorrect salt helped.
The Pleasance Courtyard
Ah well, off the the Pleasance Courtyard where I managed to get a ticket for Greg Davies. He was funny, telling the story of his life and the influences of other people on his life. As is usual he picked on a few people from the front row to help him. Despite foolishly sitting in the front row, I was bypassed. Not so the blonde, busty lady sitting near by. She had to help him with his story, which she amply did.
I managed to squeeze one more set in afterwards where I saw the AAA Stand-Up late. This was three stand up comics Erich McElroy, Ryan McDonnell and Steve Allen. Not quite so good, and the American Erich McElroy was not at all funny.
I want to announce my Edinburgh Gallery.
I’m probably being v. thick and missing something but please could you put me out of my misery by explaining the title of this one?
No you are not thick, Rosemary commented on it. It was the title of Greg Davies show. The show got its name from one event in his life. He and a mate were travelling back to their villa in Spain after food shopping. They appeared to have purchased a catapult and some cheese balls. Their way home was stopped by a dog standing in the road. It was a fierce dog that basically gave them a ‘V’ sign and a kind of get me if you want to try look. So they sat in the car and fired cheese balls at it with the catapult.
Now are you any the wiser!!!
