Edinburgh Fringe Diaries | Aug 17th | Fear Subsiding

I flyered a lady from First Dates, I thought she was an old school friend, her friend was obviously used to this and said she’s off the TV. The lady looked shy and I was starstruck. I hope she comes.
I bought tickets to the So You Think You’re Funny final, to support my compatriot Ruth. This is my World Cup Final.
I found a phone on the pavement, I picked it up out of the rain and then I was stumped, I’ve no idea how to work an iPhone. I looked up Youtube tutorials on how to unlock a phone. My flatmate Sofie did some Facebook sleuthing, found the owner and had it returned in the evening. The owner thanked me in a Facebook message, I then advertised my show to her, I felt disgusting.
I passed my comedy hero, he looked happy as a man could be in sunglasses. I must remember to buy nail clippers.

Checking in with you lovely HeadStuff readers. I had my one and only day off on Monday. My final show before the wee break was my favourite of the run so far. I no longer feel afraid of my show, which is pretty class. Probably sounds strange being afraid of something I created, but sure look at Frankenstein (Actually Frankenstein was the name of the doctsssshhhhh)
Spent my day off on a walking ghost tour, bookended by my friend Bec’s wedding and reception. At a wedding full of professional comics, the star of the event was the vicar who is officially my favourite new act of the Fringe.
Having a wedding on my day off rather than having an actual day off have left me pretty zapped. I’m going to go nap now before I drop the phone on my face again.
