I've been here 5 days and my plan to not drink isn't working. The first night of our show (which went very well btw) we decided to celebrate. Like, really hard. I was a BIG NOB. Good one. Ah Leanne, start the fest as you mean to go on. I just talked shit to everyone who would listen, luckily I'm not a repeat offender so all was forgiven.
Now onto the show. The first night was ACE. The second good, and last night....well last night was HARD (but somehow I still enjoyed it). Two ladies in the audience had very solumn looks on their faces throughout, until three minutes to the end when they decided to walk out. Maybe we should have a warning on our flier. "Not for the BORING." Yeah? How do ya like that? Ah well each to their own. People so far have described the show as insane, bonkers and funny. Twice, two audience members have choked. (not to death) I take this as a good sign.
Fliering's going ok, some people are right old stress-'eads though eh. "NO! I DON'T WANT A FLIER!" One of my tactics when they say this is to exclaim loudly, "Ohhh.:-(" And then do a sad face. Sometimes that makes them take one. I'm always very chatty when I flier and sometimes this backfires as people wanna stand there for ages yapping away. S'nice though talking to punters of the festival.
I've met some really nice people since being up here too. I have to admit I tend to distance myself from most comics cause it gets boring talking shop all day and I find it all too back slappy. However there really are some lovely down to earth types knocking about who I've had many a great conversation with. I've only been blanked twice as well! This must be a WORLD RECORD.
I have to see more shows. I've only seen ONE since I've been here and thats just wank. Within myself (mentally) I feel quite copey. Like, I think I'm coping. I know I've only been here 5 days, but I still feel normal. I still quite like stuff, and I'm staying sane. Lovely Gareth's coming up on sunday (WOOH!) I can't wait. It would be much better if he was here, but he's busy taking all the work down south so doing well which is cool.
Till next time.
