What is alternative comedy?
What is alternative comedy? Does such a thing exist anymore and, if so, does it require a new label? As a child, or parasitic growth, of the age of alternative comedy, I wonder what defines it.

Robin Ince, 7th September 2014I love stand up comedy (even when I hate it)
Last night, my penultimate evening at the Edinburgh festival, I had a wild night of mind frippery and exercise.

It is the scrutiny that drives the Edinburgh performer insane, even though they crave it.
I would quite happily get through the whole Edinburgh festival without a single critic disemboweling me.

I have learnt to stop worrying, or maybe just keep my worrying to its usual daily level, and just try to create something that makes me and the people watching happy.

This was not a lazy production. This was a celebration of six hugely creative comedy minds.

I always enjoy these pre-Edinburgh Fringe months. You can frequently find established comedians in small rooms above pubs, surrounded by bits of paper, as they desperately try to assemble an hour of comedy before heading to Scotland for August. The evening is question was no different, as Robin Ince previewed his new show, Blooming Buzzing Confusion, as well as his amusing rage-fest Pointless Anger, Righteous Ire, with the stupendous Michael Legge.
Tracey Lowe, The Good Review, 8th July 2014Edinburgh Fringe preview: Robin Ince
This could be an interesting show. Dammit, it will be an interesting show. The first time I saw Robin Ince he wasn't onstage, he was voting at the same polling station as me in the 1997 General Election. The next time I saw him he was supporting a relatively youthful Ricky Gervais and being slightly smutty in a schoolboyish way.

The comedy boffin is pals with Brian Cox, has a TED talk under his belt and loves Rik Mayall.
