Smile - T04761312Last year I wrote this bit for my flyer and promised that I'd deliver an hour of pure comedy, no gimmicks, no sad stories. That all went out the window a few weeks before the festival when my wife nearly died, and I had to rewrite the show. It made a complete mockery of everything I'd promised on the flyer. The show ended up being very successful, so it turns out people never hold you to what's written on the back of these flyers anyway. In the last twelve months my wife has resolutely refused to nearly die, so it's going to be missing the emotional impact of last year. There's nothing I can do about that, I've tried. I messed with the brakes on her car, put stuff in her food, no dice. But then again, it's 2019, everyone is depressed and anxious, the planet is dying and Boris Johnson is Prime Minister. So that's probably dark enough to be getting on with. This is my best effort at a defiant battle cryagainst the gloom. It's called 'Smile'. | |

Sunflower - T01616321883Garret Millerick isn't usually a contrary man. But sometimes life is contrary all on its own. Last year, Garrett made a call to arms for Edinburgh shows not to be judged by whether or not they have a theme. That's kind of been his long term shtick. And he had marketed this new show in particular, as one free from lecturers, free from politics, entirely non didactic and with absolutely, positively, no sad stories. But sometimes you don't need to go looking for a sad story to twist and shape into an hour long show. Sometimes the sad story finds you. And it sinks it's teeth into your life and it seeps into every bit of your world, until you find yourself, two months from the start of the 2018 Edinburgh festival, at the beginning of previewing and finessing your "jokes for people who like laughing" show, when you realise that show isn't going to get finished, because you're entirely at the mercy of a story that's consumed you. Because when you plunge from excited father-to-be, to grieving the loss of that future, and then to having no more time to grieve because now you're watching in terror as your wife loses half the blood in her body on a hospital bed... it's hard to think about anything else.Presented byRabbit Rabbit.

The Devils Advocate - T1482609769I've just accidentally bought a house in the heart of Brexit country. My membership of the Urban Liberal Elite has been rescinded, subsumed into the ranks of the silent majority, I'm totally consumed by home improvement, car magazines, property values, bin day and reality television. I'm living an Essex based remake of Kafka's Metamorphosis. I have become what I once feared most, I have become Jeremy Clarkson.Director Tom Clutterbuck. | |
