British Comedy Guide, 21st July 20155 things no Fringe performer should be without
The Edinburgh Fringe can be a funny old time for performers. It represents the culmination of a year's hard work writing and rehearsing a show. Artists will have invested a huge amount both financially and emotionally and the gruelling slog of bringing the show to the public, while exhilerating and hugely rewarding, can be a big challenge too.

I'm currently in Edinburgh, hiding 'neath the bridge. There's some wifi from a nearby hostel, which I've hacked into by correctly guessing the password "MagicDust74." My boots are filling up with rainwater because I've temporarily taken them off to flex my toes, so I'll have to be quick, but I should just have time for me to post my first exclusive blog for Laugh Out London.
