So HI! I'm doing a blog on Chortle! Is this wanky? I dunno. As I type I feel wanky. But let me explain myself first.

My name's Leanne, (yup) and I'm going to the Edinburgh Festival to do a show for the first time and I thought it might be cool to log my experience.

I'm relatively new to stand-up, that is I've been doing it for a year. So I'm not MAJORLY new, but new enough not to have made it yet, so thus keep lopping off the true length I've been performing. And I know I'm not on my own here. So the ACTUAL time I've been doing this is 1 and a half years. I've done about 150-180 gigs and now feel tiz the time to do Edinburgh.

I went to Edinburgh for the festival for a short visit last year and the year before that. I hated it. Everyone was really fucking strange. Am I allowed to swear on this blog? Oh well. Yeah, everyone was really fucking strange. Like all consumed and looked like they were nearly dead and stuff. I didn't enjoy it. But then I thought maybe thats cause I'm not actually performing ('cept a couple of open spots) so if I were to perform, maybe people that speak to me in England, will also speak to me in August at the festival. It was a long shot, but I thought it might just work.

For now I shall give you an update of my day. I am hung-over. Did a gig last night at the Electric Mousie in Carnaby street which was enjoyable. There were some dutch girls in the audience of whom I wowed the crowd with words such as please AND thank you. IN DUTCH. Yeah I know. Major. Then I went and got drunk with some pals and lost my Oyster Card. Good one.

I can't get Sabrina's classic "Boys Boys Boys" out of my head. My friend sent me the CD cause of the picture on the front which has Sabrina herself sporting a see-through pink bikini where-in her nipples are clearly visible. Its quite erotic actually. Except her face. Her face looks pained.

Leanne, great to see your blog on here! Hope all goes well in Edinburgh, sweetie. You'll wow them with your great comedy and your positive attitude!

Readers, this girl rocks and I recommend seeing her shows!

Typical of you to get drunk sweetie, but hope you get a new Oyster card soon! LOL!

Best wishes!
