so it ends, so it begins.
Today the cast of SHHH met up and had a little reunion dinner, and we handed out cheques.
We are pretty pleased that we could make cheques out at all, as most shows leave the famous Edinburgh Fringe Festival having lost money. In fact thousands of pounds. So yeah!
Not as delighted with the cast member who decided to ask why the hundred pounds they received was such a small amount.
Not content with the fact that we paid out £1500, that we did 6 months of fundraising to make the £10,000 required to ensure we didn’t go to the Fringe on a loss, and that we achieved the near unthinkable by planning the whole process with a team of essentially 2 people, obviously. And this from a cast member who turned up late for the Fringe, and who turned up to precisely ONE of our 9 fundraising events. If anything, they’re lucky to get a fucking penny!!!
Sorry.
Anyway, that (almost) finishes the last two years of my life, and probably my only recent entries in this online diary. So again, my apologies for being single minded and dull.
Moving on, i have more show things coming up. I’m appearing in a ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ event. Yes. Dancing. And i can’t dance.
I’m playing Sweeney Todd. And i’m such a nice guy.
I sing with my Rat Pack trio as much as possible, we have gigs right through to 2013, you know.
And i’m working backstage in Aberdeen, operating a Giant, in Pantomime. Jack and the Beanstalk, no less.
So maybe there will be some updates about that. I’ll try harder.
