Phew. Well, the last three months of fringe season have been absolutely nuts. I'm not quite finished, because I'm reviewing in Edinburgh Fringe for at least 8 days, and I've somehow got to work out how to handle 160+ review requests. But that's a story for the theatre blog. Once things start calming down, I'll begin updating this site.

But the exciting news I have to share with you is that It's Not Cluedo has its first acclamation. It was nominated for Best Comedy in a shortlist of three at Scarborough Fringe. Admittedly this is a new fringe and there wasn't a huge list of comedy acts to compete again, but tell me two years ago that I'd be getting a comedy nomination - when I'd just finished playing a social reject who's also a cannibal - and I've have said you were pulling my leg.

Anyway, congratulations to Hollie Noble who won with Janifesto, and huge thanks to my fellow runner-up Lewis Dunn (aka Stanley Brooks) who fixed me up with one third of Any Suggestions Doctor as my guests. Honestly, they made the show that night. Many thanks also to YMCA Theatre who were a fab host. This is not a straightforward show to set up, and it really needs the co-operation of the venue and/or fringe to get a decent line-up of guests, but Richard Milburn was very supportive all the way, and even found me some replacements for last-minute drop-outs. And, of course, thank you to everyone who turned up. It's faces like these that make it all worthwhile.

I've only barely started thinking about plans for next year, but I think I can safely say we intend to return to Brighton Fringe Rotunda next year. After this weekend's news, I think I can add Scarborough to the surefire bet list too. Apologies to anyone hoping/dreading I'd organise an unnofficial/illegal It's Not Cluedo gatherings at Buxton or Durham; I was seriously tempted, but the main thing that stopped me is that I cannot do one billion squillion zillion things at the same time. Anyway, keep an eye on this page where future dates should end up.

I'll catch up with the rest of the news later, when I should have at least one more thing confirmed. In the meantime, Edinburgh Fringe reviews await. Erk.
