Comedy EdFest Fringe 2010

Well I am back from the Festival ....... slowly detoxing, after a few beers catching up with friends such as Mr Dixon.

We ('Big Kenny' and I), saw a number of shows which I have listed and linked below:

They were a mixed bunch of shows ....... with one standout, Henning Wehn "My Struggle"..... performing stand-up in a second language is 'a right old struggle' according to Henning Wehn ...

His show was a sell out (along with the One Man Lord Of The Rings) and was very funny. I had seen him last year as part of a double act, but he was far funnier on his own and there are a number of videos of his previous shows on YouTube

Here I have extracted one of the "German Comedy Ambassador's" tourism guides to Germany ..... he dishes it out to them as well as us.



Oh and the worst show ....... without a doubt "Betrayal of Penguins - Don't run with scissors" which was absolute 'Merde' .... if you will pardon my French. The review in the fringe magazine suggested that they had been a roaring success last year with essentially the same show .... only if it was the casts friends and family in the audience for a fortnight.

They also found it a "right old struggle" ...... to raise a laugh in an audiance.
