Yes, I'm proper rubbish, not having blogged in 5 days. But I've never known such a roller-coaster Edinburgh in just the first week; I've now felt the lowest lows I ever have, and just 20 minutes ago, the highest high too.

Good news first. Basically, I've just received that most coveted of gongs - a 5 star review from Chortle. I won't pretend it doesn't mean the world to me - I'm exhilerated; and am punching the air a bit. I'd love to phone everyone I know who'd care enough to listen and share in the feeling of triumph, but I've lost my voice somewhat, and am resting it for tonight's show, which has two more reviewers in. I've got this eery feeling that things are about to get even more hectic.

The bad news relates to the death of a great comic from this year's Cape Town Vodacom Funny Festival, at the ridiculously early age of 24. I want to write something seperate about Wayvinne and not tie it up in this blog entry as they are the polar opposites of my emotions right now and I want to gather my thoughts about his loss at another time.
