Is this your first time to Edinburgh?
No. This is my seventh year at the fringe. I've been coming since I was a student and used to do sketch comedy with the Leeds Tealights (I wanted to be in the Cambridge Footlights, but was too think.)
Since then I've been working on my skills as a stand up, appearing in the Comedy Reserve and Comedy Zone showcases. This year I'm performing my second solo hour. I'm also doing my third show as part of double act Twins, with Annie McGrath.
Tell us about your show.
I wrote it, I produced it, I'm performing it and the company is me. The company came together earlier this year when I was poor couldn't afford anyone else to produce it for me. I didn't do everything though, the wonderful Nick Helm has helped to direct me, shape it into a proper show and given me numerous pep talks over the last few months. I've been previewing it for some time, all over the country but have no idea what will happen to it after the fringe.
What should your audience see at the festivals after they've seen your show?
I've only seen one show far and it was my friend Mat Ewins. He is a comedy genius and his show is amazing. However, he hasn't bought any flyers or done any promotion this year, so make sure you don't miss it.
I've also previewed with Fin Taylor, his show is amazing this year and everyone should see it. I also can't wait to see Sean McLoughlin's now show. His show last year was my favourite thing I saw.
