Fringe update quickie
Aug. 17th, 2005 12:05 amPour remembrance of things perdus
Phil Kay: completely manic, whether on speed, ritalin or emotional upset, not sure. Told us about G8 and his failed marriage, both more uplifting than you might imagine. Thanked us for being in the first row, which was nice, even if he did assume we had congenital defects and were a family with the two guys next to us as we all wore glasses. Go.
Nigerian Spam Scam Scam : "charming" seems best phrase - well done real life tale, but a bit slight for an hour perhaps - otherwise, quite professionally interesting to me, and nicely characterised, with some great gay & cat jokes.
Andy Parsons : ok, so so stand up, v middle or road, mostly semi political.
Ben Moor: still tall, quiet and lovely. The new Geoff Ryman.The most soothing thing I've seen on the Fringe so far.
The Tao of Martial Drums (or some such) : at the Assembly off shoot on the Mound which is actually the ex Scottish Parliament I think - how strange. I went into this with a really bad headache which is a slight mistake before an hour of ferocious drumming. But actually, I was entranced by the sheer effort (and quite a lot of skill), plus both the girls and the boys are eye candy to die for. Who needs porn when you can have this?
Russell Banks: runs some digital TV Big Brother show, V entranced, i thought he was cute.
To come: MirrorMask, Bill Bailey's punk rock tribute group, Serenity and Joss, and Audrey Hepburn on a trapeze. What else should I see?? Dance and art recs especially welcome.
REDIT still to see : Jump!, Rob Newman, Anarchy in the Ukele..
