English (UK)   The festival hasn't even started, and here's my 1st review  -  Categories: News  -  @ 03:23:25 am

Well, there you have it.

4 stars in Fest for the show on my opening night. Obviously that's nice, but they came to a properly shabby show so I should be wildly grateful! Their criticism seems odd, as I don't have jokes about drunk calls to exes or avoiding fights - I do have an invention to avoid *making* drunk calls to exes, but that's about it. But the Daily Mail bashing is spot on, so I hold my hands up to that.

Today (well, Yesterday) was a very up and down day, and this has sweetened it a bit. I'll post more tomorrow, but you all probably guessed that already.

Here we go then:

Nice start. Could have been a five with some effort methinks, but that's a platform to build on. At least I didn't have Helen Pidd review me, possibly the worst informed reviewer in the history of the Fringe*.

* She accused me in 2004 of not knowing what Nazi stood for, even though I gave an explanation during the show that is word for word identical to the COD definition. What did she possibly think it stood for?

I saw you got 2/5 in the Metro this morning, but I wouldn't worry about that, because they're owned by the same people that own the Daily Mail. I loved the show, even if you did take the piss out of me for being unemployed.
