Hallo there, chaps and madams. It looks like you’ve stumbled across another of those thrillingly infrequent updates to my website. This coincides, as it did last year, with my increased obsession with the upcoming Edinburgh Fringe, where I’ll be doing a one-hour show every day throughout August. This means two things: one, I’m trying to find ways to procrastinate from writing the show. Hence this update. Two, I’ll need to warm this show up with various work-in-progresses around the country, where the show will magically transform from an ugly duckling of good intentions to a (hopefully) rather beautiful swan of compelling arguments and amusing jokes. Kind audiences for these would be much appreciated at the gigs below. Hence this update.
I’ll also continue to be performing stand-up sets of more bearable length (5, 10, 20 mins etc) round the country throughout this time (details on Twitter etc.), but the previews are the ones that are most important to me, hence their preferential treatment below. There may be more added as time goes on. Some of these gigs are double-headers with other (famouser!) comics, which is fun: some are solo, which will ALSO BE FUN. Sometimes the same venue has other comics doing Edinburgh previews, sometimes even on the same night, but the only thing you get for your money is Graham. This should be made clear on all of their websites. Good luck. It would be lovely to see people there.
(The show is called “No Filter”. That’s probably the least interesting title of the three shows I’ve taken to the Fringe so far in my career, but I genuinely believe it’s going to be the most interesting show. It’s about vanity, maturity, pissing in a cup, etc. All the classics.)
