Wednesday was chaos with the opening of our show then rushing across to the Purple Cow to do the press launch with Ruby Wax hosting. We were very honoured to have been amongst the chosen few that were asked to perform.This is really our first fringe and it was always going to be a risk that our first introduction to the press would be at the launch. It was with a sense of relief and delight that the response was great.

It’s only Sunday and already our show has morphed into something quite different to what it was on Wednesday.
Having the 2 previews really helps to find out what works and what doesn’t. It’s a real joy upon the realisation of finding out something new really works. When you are so used to touring one nighters all over the globe you tend to stick with the same material that you know will go down well. The great thing about having a month run is you can really hone new stuff but you really do need to listen to how your audience is reacting. This does mean ditching stuff that you might think is great but the audience are not of the same opinion.
On Friday we put in a new routine that we have often talked about doing and it was wonderful to see it going down a storm.It does beg the question why we have never done it before but it is the fringe that makes you
brave enough to try out new things.We both really look forward to this moment in the show and seeing how we can improve it.
There will be more changes going in today and who knows by next Sunday the show may be different again.
