Finally, regarding Edinburgh: Potted Potter – 2 young guys have created an intensely paced & fun anthology show whereby they sum up the entire Harry Potter series (Book-a-Minute style) in an hour. There's nothing complex about it, and the jokes are reasonably formulaic, but it's still really, really good fun. Jeff plays the bespectacled boy…
The crew here at Culture Central were just saying how our trip here thus far had been missing any really weirdo avant garde interactive theatre wank. Today, however, redressed that balance. Six Women Standing In Front Of A White Wall – certainly did what it said on the tin. 6 women in pink chiffon dresses…
G'day eager young space cadets! Quick summary of yesterday's Edinburgh shows (MAN I love my life!): Dickens Unplugged – superb 5 man show presenting the works of one of England's most famous authors, as well as his life. In the style of The Complete Abridged History of Shakespeare it's a rapid potted presentation, hilariously skipping…
Big day here at Edinburgh – our first day at the festival, and we've been to 6 shows already. We'd have been to 8, except that the traffic coming up from London sucked majorly and we didn't quite get in with enough time to get to the Tripod gig. Of all the things we had…
Despite Transport for London's best attempts to prove otherwise, I'm off to Edinburgh for the weekend to go to the Festival & Fringe. Woo.
Being the busy little beaver I am these days, I don't tend to get as much time to look around on people's websites as I'd like to (no, genuinely, I don't!). Combine that with the news, current affairs, tech sites, web comics, and photo galleries that I like to keep tabs on, it makes for…
Seemingly undeterred by the now legendary trip to Crufts, Dan said “Hey wouldn't it be funny to go visit the London Sewing Machine Museum – it's just near my new house!”. Here follows a list of the reasons why it wasn't fun. The museum was housed in the unlikely looking Wimbledon Sewing Centre – certainly…
I know, I know, I'm way behind AGAIN! To compensate for this, I'm going to try to blog for every day of September that I'm in London. But first… Back in early July I had kind of a big week, which I thought I'd blog for posterity. And as so much time has passed since…
A learned colleague of mine, Mr Dov Spinks, recently made me aware of a website called Blackle – to save you clicking, it's essentially Google search, but instead of appearing as a white screen with black text, it's a black screen with grey text. The reason for this, as indicated on the 'about' page (and…
1) It's not easy to find the Latin word for “breakfast”. I'm still not sure if it's “ientaculum” or “prandium”. Or whether indeed prandium (purportedly, “a late breakfast or lunch”) refers more accurately in my case given the time I usually haul myself out of bed. 2) (more relevantly) K emailed me a little while…
