We're Edinburgh veterans these days, and you'd imagine we're used to the place by now (we've been in the same flat and the same venue for five years, for instance), but it's still thrilling to visit the biggest arts festival in the world, in the world's most beautiful city. For our new imps every year, it's an experience never to forget. It's not too bad for our audiences either, or at least so says Joe Nicholson ("the show was utterly triumphant, and clearly deserved five stars") and Fen Greatley ("top drawer entertainment!") at EdFringeReview. Thank you both. Fen: amazing name.
What else? Our famously-bearded director Dougie handed over to his successor Dylan, by shaving off his chin-ruff and bagging it for his successor to learn from. We blogged for whatsonstage, we played our largest ever venue in the Gilded Balloon, and we slept maybe two hours a night. Never mind: September is for catching up. October is for auditions, and the whole yearly improv cycle beginning again. But that's another story...
