A special mention to the man who came to the "cabaret of dangerous ideas" and who tried to explain to a famous academic what feminism was through the medium of constant interruption. Not a great idea in an audience of middle aged Scottish women. I wish him a speedy recovery.

Shout out to the new York Times reporter who rocked up to my show today and asked if "I was afraid of destroying my career" with my closing routine. Go to the Pleasance and get scolded by a trust fund foetus about your "privilege" while the purity police check your tickets.

If you're doing an impression of an Irish accent and telling a story in which the Irish person is "thick" maybe check out the nationality of the comic that's following you cause she'll spend the first five minutes of her set ripping you a new one

My favorite Edinburgh shows are the ones in which the comic "cries" at the end .Always at the exact same spot and always for a set amount of time and for 24 nights I'm a row. These comics are nearly always sociopaths. This rule has never failed me.
