A bit late, but I did promise it. Some are about my show, some are about other people's - I'll leave you to work out which is which...

- Don't presume box office staff know that your show is on. They may be morons.
- Noise travels through tents
- Don't take a chance on a new venue.
- People don't laugh when they've just got up as much as they do in the evening
- Just because a show sells itself on 'sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll', and is at a big venue at 9pm on a Friday night, it doesn't mean it'll sell
- The Fringe has got too big
- £10.50 is too much for an hour of an average comedian
- Not everything should be in batter
- The hill is not your friend. When you're looking down, it's very helpful, but when things look up, it'll make you hurt.
- Involving the audience is a good thing
- Surprising the audience is a good thing
- Silly can make a very good show but you need a point to make it spill over into brilliance
- Even if you've broken up with a girl years before, and never quite got to 'that' stage with her, you may still get to see her naked, if she randomly appears starkers on stage with 40 others as a big show surprise finale

All good points. I'd add that 5000 flyers is too few but 10,000 is too many.

So who was the naked girlfriend?
