Two more days to go and our review from three weeks JUST came out. We got 4 stars! YEAH. Not entirely sure how accurate the description of the show is, but FUCK YEAH! 4 stars! See below:
A NIGHT IN SANDY HOLE!
4 STARS **** (Three Weeks)
If you enjoy the appalling, giggle at the ghastly and absolutely adore Alan Partridge then you'll love this. Spend the night in Sandy Hole - guest house to the stars, where a special atmosphere makes for a hilarious show. The garish make-up daubed on the repulsive hosts, and their grotesque, sexually explicit humour, is exactly what makes this bloody brilliant. They push the very word extreme beyond its exceptionally broad limits, straddle decency on the way and drag it to the depths. It hits you like a wet fish round the face - ignorant, simple, perfectly timed and refreshing, if slightly uncomfortable. Sick humour never tasted so good.
Holyrood Too @ Faith, 12 - 26 Aug, 9:45pm (10:45pm), £5.00 (£4.00), fpp 79.
tw rating 4/5
I went out till late again last night and the day's running away already. A great show last night though with the fab Lucy Porter and Ewen Macintosh doing the short celebrity guest spots. Tonight we have PETE FIRMAN AND JOSIE LONG. Woop!
I'm very surprised at myself for having lasted this long here at the fucked up edinburgh festival. I made a decision not to let the ego maniacs get to me, and to simply let their crazy views wash over me like a lovely wave. (A wave that didn't contain salt so if I did happen to open my mouth whilst it went over me, I could swallow its content and not choke)
I have to say that Caroline Clifford's cartoons are GREAT. Please read them if you haven't already. She ace she is and so is Evie Anderson. I like them both lots - we done some good drinking since being here and they're both really nice drunks. YAY!
Anyway, the second to last show's tonight and then I'm off to the Phat Cave with my pal Kate. Another late night drink me thinks. Oh well, I really did enjoy the FOUR shows I saw whilst up here. Pathetic eh? THANKS ALCOHOL. THANKS ALOT.
