Today I okayed
the proofs for my Edinburgh Fringe brochure and online listings, thus
finalising the title and vague content of my show.

| Sneak preview of my 2017 EdFringe listing. |
it will be called ‘Now Who’s a Comedian?’, in direct reference to a running joke my wife
and I have that she’ll one day take a show to the festival with that name, to
achieve more success and accolades than I ever could (despite working in a
completely different field to me) thus putting me in my place. I always liked
the idea that she’d aggressively shout the title after every punchline,
stamping her foot as she does it, to hammer the point home.
There’s a definite sense now I’m starting to formalize and finalise my trip to Edinburgh that things are beginning to move forward. There’s still a lot of writing / compiling to do, but there’s a sense that things are developing along the way; I know where I want to go with my ideas and the tone I want to create. Now all I have to do is gradually piece bits of material together and try them out at open mic gigs here and there (and at Mostly Comedy) - more than anything to get those ideas out in the open, and not to expect a too hearty response in an environment that’s difficult to break; it’s more about hearing the content out loud myself and truly deciding what I think.
