Of course, the nice things people say and the buzz of doing a good show is reward in itself! But it’s also nice to know that just over half way through the run the costs of printing and the voluntary contribution for the free fringe are all covered – I am even on my way to covering the Equity Membership again this year with 4 more shows to go.

As ever it is an invigoration and joy to be part of the amazing explosion that is the Festival and Fringe in Edinburgh’s August. I’ve met some lovely people and even told some of them stories. It’s also a secret thrill to have fellow storytellers come up and ask to re-tell a few as well. To which the answer is obviously ‘yes, please!’ Never trap a tale that wants to run free!
