When is a cunning stunt not cunning?
One agent/promoter was telling me he had a stunt to publicise one of his acts which he reckoned was going to put all the traffic in Edinburgh into gridlock and he was trying to persuade me this would be worthy of an increasingly prestigious Malcolm Hardee Cunning Stunt Award nomination. But this would be more likely to get the act thrown out of their venue, him prosecuted and the show loathed by locals rather than an award nomination.

The Hermitage Horticulture Garden in Edinburgh, run by Autism Initiatives
Scotland, was recently mindlessly vandalised for the second time.
When he found out, London comedian Stu Turner felt compelled to help.
Just a fortnight before he headed to Edinburgh to host his own game show at the Fringe for a week, Stu decided to put together the very biggest and best charity gala show at Edinburgh this year - with the sole purpose of raising cash for this very worthy cause.
He whipped out his little black book, secured the biggest room on the Laughing Horse Free Festival, and scored some fabulous comedy and cabaret acts to take part - including one top TV name who'll remain a surprise until the night!
The result? A FREE two-hour charity gala for 400 laughter-seekers at the New Empire Bingo Hall at 9pm on Wednesday 19th August. Yes, it's FREE, with buckets on exit where we'll expect you to give generously.
Let's make it a night to remember, raising great laughs and great wads of cash for those affected by autism in Scotland.
