I'm at the fringe! First show of 27 done last night. Almost sold out but for one empty seat on the front row. After I finished I found the guy whose seat it was sat directly outside the door on the curb eating a 4-pack of cornettos. It's great to be back.

In May Leicester Comedy Festival's parent company announced payments to most of its artists would be delayed, but that "this is a case of a small delay rather than 'you won't be paid'". Their building's just been repossessed.
