THE PRE-DISPOSED ED FRINGE REFLECTIONS!!
So the Greatest Arts Festival and Comedy Mecca on the planet didn't disappoint and while one of the toughest I have ever experienced, largely because of this poxy disease for all her beauty Edinburgh's Medieval street planners understandably didn't have accessibility top of the agenda, coupled with a very 'bad burger experience' on the Tuesday.... certain balls got dropped!
But the show and my performance got better through each performance, I flipped the tale 3 times but by the end of the week in a packed venue on Saturday, all the comedy landed. Indeed that is how this kind of live performance works and I am excited and inspired to continue to develop the show and bring it beyond that greatest misnomer in Venue world that was the 60 seater Banqueting Hall of the Banshee Labyrinth. Hasta la Vista Edinburgh Fringe for as long as I can manage You...Ireland, Rio, Barcelona, Spain are my soul! |

THE THANK YOUs...
I learned so much, was inspired and humbled by some of the very greatest comedians on the planet who trusted me and came to my cave to help make the show happen... Andy J Ritchie Danny Lobell Kieran Butler Carey Marx Simon Munnery Alexis Dubus Trevor Lock and Eddie Izzard , legends all... you humbled me wth your presence and special mentions to Johnny Keenan, Andy J Ritchie, Kieran Butler, Sophie Prints, Steven and Carolina who looked after me at different and through some very trying times and without whom I would ever have got this over the line. Love all you people!! And to the PBH and all the Free Fringers that sail in her I will seek to be back next year, but maybe not halfway down Niddry street LOL |
Aaah... the memories |
The Closing Night when an Arena comic came to my cave, check the Giant 15" screen LOL!! #MasQueUnComic
The Pre-disposed
(Live Storytelling Show)
will be a Live Storytelling Show that I intend to take to the Edinburgh Fringe '17 as part of the PBH's Free Fringe.
The show will be 3 x 10min segments followed by a small audiovisual presentation which together will frame the story of my search for a diagnosis through comedy festivals in Barcelona and Madrid, Brazil's 2 Mega Events (World Cup & Olympics), Rio's only English language Night out, Rio Night Live and other comedy projects that involved the very biggest names in the comedy industry from Dylan Moran to Eddie Izzard.
In Edinburgh I will be inviting some of the comedians that punctuate the story to join me for a cara a cara 'podcast style' shooting of the shit under the theme of the Show title which came about as a correction by a Psychologist that it is politically incorrect to refer to PPMS, despite it's 'No Treatment, No Cure' reality as a 'Terminal Disease' which I had done and was informed that I should use the more PC term, a Pre-Disposed illness!
With life being a Terminal Disease anyway it seemed fair...
