Shot over to London on Friday evening (5 mins off missing my flight! Shit Guy!) where I attended the Edinburgh Fringe Festival Roadshow, and hung out with my good friend Ryan.
Me & Ryan
The Roadshow was great. I felt really fantastic after it - so glad I went. I got to hear answers to all the questions that had been going in my head, I got to meet lots of people, and I gained a whole lot of new confidence about my show. As I was talking to people about it (along with professional business cards and an iPad display!) I could see them dreaming about what it might be like.
They would get a smile on their face and become really interested in what I was saying. Also, the fact that I've done the show twice before, plus it's won 2 awards and I've got a bunch of media and reviews to back it up, seemed to make people much more interested in the show. It seems like a lot of the people that were there today had vague ideas about what they wanted to do, but mine is clear and ready to go.
Now I feel ready to apply to various venues, many of which I met people who run them face to face. And I feel clear about how I'm going to pitch to my classmates the idea of helping me out. Really excited about it now! I feel like I've taken on Loredana's "if we go, we go to win" mentality and it's given me a great drive. Now to get the ball moving!

It was also really nice to see my good friend Ryan who I adore. Nice to hang out with someone who knows me and loves me for just being me. Since being in Paris that's something I've missed. We had breakfast at this great Italian restaurant (cheap too) in Pembroke two days in a row. Watched this fantastically awkward british TV show called Nighty Night which I know fans of The Fast Show and The Mighty Boosh will like. Strolled the streets of London being silly with Ryan. Drank warm beer, had a Hummingbird Red Velvet cupcake...
Went and saw a comedy show of a super strange guy called Paul Foot...
Had a great frozen yoghurt from this place called SNOG (the variety of foods you can get in London far surpasses Paris' measly selection...) and generally just had a nice weekend. Neaaarly missed my flight home too which is stupid Guy! Need to get through security first, then chill out. I tend to underestimate how long that takes...
