Touring troubles and a week off!

Hello!

I’ve been a bit behind on the old blogs the past few months and this one is really going to be a quickie. I actually really enjoy writing them when I find the time for it but I definitely don’t have the time right now. Obviously I have things to do that I’ve left to the last minute because why change the habit of a lifetime!

Since my last blog, I’ve been on tour in Inverness and Glasgow. I’ve said it plenty of times before but I love going up to Inverness for tours, it’s one of my favourite places to visit but while I love Glasgow, I just never seem to do very well there and am often left feeling a bit unloved. (I know, can you hear the begging for sympathy :p!) But on these last two tours, it ended up being the reverse!

My Inverness trip felt plagued with problems! Phantom deposits, short notice cancellations, travel fuck ups and 3 no shows in a row on a perfectly lovely day that I would have rathered spent my time daundering about. For the guys that did show, I had a great time and I really appreciate the folk that made the effort to see me :). The way my year is looking and because I’ve been increasingly quiet on my Inverness trips, I don’t think I’ll be back until November. My plans are not set in stone though so who knows, especially if a camping trip brings me back north, I might be able to make a wee detour ;).

Glasgow on the other hand was probably my best tour there yet :). I met some really lovely guys and genuinely just had a great few days and now I can’t wait to come back! Originally I was thinking of December but I think I’ll try and come back in summer depending on how my plans go :). I was swithering over taking a break from tours for a few months because as much as I love it, I want to focus on getting out camping this summer. I’ve said that the last few years and only made it on 3 trips but this year I want more time outside. (If anyone has campsite suggestions or areas to explore, hit me up! Bonus points if it’s accessible by public transport because hiring a car gets expensive!)

Speaking of camping, I’m taking this week off and optimistically thinking I might go camping for a couple of nights. It’s still a bit cold overnight which has been putting me off a little bit but I feel like I really need a few days in nature. When I’m back, I’m going to try and plan what tours I’m doing over the next few months. London is still a plan, I’m just procrastinating hard over accommodation options! There are so many choices!

I guess that wasn’t such a quickie afterall…

Procrastination fodder

Ahoy-hoy!

I’ve been trying to get a new blog written for ages and I just haven’t found the time but here I am… So don’t worry, now you’ve got something to read when you’re struggling to sleep tonight or need something to aid procrastination ;).

February felt like it absolutely flew by. And the start of March too! What have I been up to I hear no one ask?! Here’s a wee run down of the main events since my last blog!

My first live poetry show. My first duo with a domme. A hellish train journey from Glasgow to Edinburgh surrounded by drunk folk and having to stand for half the journey. Overnight ghost hunting in the Edinburgh vaults! One bestie visiting for a long weekend. A broken shower. A tour to Aberdeen where I got to see some lovely clients and catch up with friends! My first spa break with my other two besties. My first massage. My first steak. An overnight in Glasgow featuring a visit to an alternative/fetish market, delicious food and more delicious bedroom time ;). Embracing the gym again! A wee issue at home.

When I type it all out like that, it felt like quite the month and quite a few firsts. I hardly know what to write about… What would you like to hear more about in a future blog? I can’t fit it all in here. Or I could but I do try not to make my blogs too long so how about if there is something listed above that you’d like to hear more about, you drop me a wee message and tell me and I’ll make sure to write more about it in a future blog! This goes for anything, if there’s something you’d like to see me write about or share stuff about, please drop me a message because I love hearing ideas! Also, I can’t tell how many (if any) people read my blogs so it’s always nice to hear from folk that do :).

Before I shuffle off to polish my favourite dildo, a quick shout out to any Aberdonians that might be interested! I have some social plans in the granite city at the end of the month and I could make myself available for a session or two. Check my profile for details and drop me a message if you’d like to arrange something :).

And if you haven’t seen it yet, I’m on tour in Inverness this month! Details on my profile. I’m currently thinking about where to tour in April and May and I’ve a wee poll going on my twitter :). That’s it for now though, I hope this sends you off to a peaceful slumber or you realise that task you’ve been putting off isn’t looking so boring after all!

Frightfully yours,

Birthday celebrations & an orgasmic overnight!

Did you cope with January? Does it feel like the storms blew you straight through to February or did it last forever and you were glad to see the back of it?

For me, January had a peaceful start and since my last blog, I’ve had lots of fun stuff going on! In my last ramblings, I mentioned I had a weekend ahead of me with friends and the plans were all a surprise for some early birthday shenanigans. It ended up being such a wonderful weekend, just me and my three besties :). We started out with Mexican food and a visit to the Absent Ear in Glasgow for cocktails. I had no idea where we were going when my friend told me to ring the bell and gave me the entry code for the day… but I was chuffed to see where we ended up and we spent the night drinking cocktails before going back to my friends for more drinks and blethering late into the night!

Saturday was for playing drinking games inspired by Taskmaster and Tiktok before a trip to the Glasgow Stand for their comedy lineup. This was honestly the perfect thing for me because this year I’ve decided I want to see more comedy throughout the year (and not just pack it all in at the Fringe in August… not that I won’t still be packing in the Fringe shows!)! It left us with a chilled out (and a little hungover) Sunday. Just a really great weekend with even better company :).

The other exciting plans I mentioned in my last bit of chatter, was my first overnight! For a number of reasons, I’ve never said yes to an overnight before but with this client, everything felt right and I knew I’d love to spend more time with them. He arranged everything from the gorgeous hotel with a bath for me to enjoy a soak in, to dinner and breakfast out. I felt so spoiled and taken care of in all the best ways :). Knowing we had all night to spend together definitely made for some fun teasing and a build up to some intense fun… But I’m keeping all the juicy details for the two of us ;). But one thing I’ll say is that I forgot how great it is to both fall asleep then wake up with multiple orgasms. I couldn’t have asked for a better first overnight experience :).

Before anyone gets excited, I’m not adding overnights to the menu just yet. But I’m happy to cater to longer sessions than my profile suggests if we’ve met before. Just drop me a message to discuss and we can take it from there :).

I want to say a massive thank you to everyone that wished me a happy birthday, gave me a card or a gift, sent a tip and just genuinely anyone that takes the time to read these blogs too! I had a lovely birthday and I feel thoroughly spoiled and I appreciate everyone that helped make that happen :).

I better wheesht now but before I do, Aberdeen I am coming back for a tour! You’ll find the dates on my profile and please drop me a message to arrange a session. I love a wee trip up the road and having not been up since August, I’m hoping for a fun filled week in the granite city!

Birthday blethering

Hello! It’s my first blog of 2024 and about time too since we’re in the middle of January!

I hope 2024 has been off to a good start for you :). I spent the first few days of the year with my closest friends in a wee cottage in Angus and it was the perfect relaxed start to the year. We had a great view of the coast, drinks were flowing and the fire kept us cosy! Getting out on the beach for a breezy daunder on the 3rd before I travelled home was a nice wake up!

I’ve had a quiet couple of weeks since then but that’s all going to change this weekend with some early birthday celebrations! My birthday is at the end of the month but often me and my friend do a wee shared thing since she’s another January birthday. This year I haven’t done any of the planning, so it’s all a surprise and I’m excited! I’m not expecting anything wild but just a few days of fun with my favourite folk is more than enough for me :). I am taking a long weekend so I won’t be available for sessions from Friday 19th - Tuesday 23rd.

Then I’m super excited to be doing my first overnight this month! I’ve considered offering overnights before but I’ve always decided against it. I’m really excited though for a night with this client and it’s going to be such a great way to spend the weekend before my birthday :). If you’re reading this and thinking you’d like to spend a night with me, I might have to disappoint you though. It’s something I would only offer in special circumstances :). But I’m sure I’ll have something to say on a future blog about my experience!

As for my actual birthday (31st Jan), I haven’t quite decided what to do! So if you think you’d like to come and see me for a birthday bang, I hope you’ll get in touch ;). Last year I was actually no showed on my birthday :(. So I am hoping I only get genuine enquiries this year or I might decide to take the day off. If you’d like to get me a birthday gift, I would adore that so much! Some things I love are candles, incense, spiced rum, milk chocolate or gift vouchers to my favourite stores like Killstar, Black Moon Botanica, Hotel Chocolat or the Isle of Skye Candle Company. Or just a wee message to wish me a happy birthday will put a smile on my face :).

I’ll wheesht for now but I’ll be back later in the month, perhaps with an update on how my birthday surprises and overnight go but definitely with an update on my first tour for 2024! Aberdonians, I’m coming for you!

Frightfully yours,

Happy Hogmanay!

Happy Hogmanay!

I’ve been a bit quiet on the old blogs this month. I love the feeling of cosying up and settling in for winter in December, even if it can make me a little lethargic at times :P.

But now it’s the 31st and I am ready to spend a few days with friends, over indulging and having a laugh. I’m excited to bring in the new year with the people I am closest to and see what everyone is planning for 2024 :). I will be back to sessions on the 4th of January but will try and catch up on any messages before that. I’m excited to see who will be first to come see me!

It’s a little cliche but I still think it’s nice to reflect a little on the past year around now as well as setting some intentions for next year. I want to thank all the people that have come to see me this year! Whether you’re a regular, someone I’ve only met once or somewhere in between, I honestly really appreciate you choosing me for a session! I love what I do and I feel really grateful to be able to keep doing it.

I’m gonna leave it there for this blog but however you might be spending the final hours of 2023, I hope it’s a great day and 2024 will be an amazing time for you :).

Frightfully yours,

St Andrews Day Admin

Hello and happy St Andrew’s Day if you happen to read this on the day I’m posting it! This blog is mostly because I have a little admin to catch up on so whether you’re a regular or someone new looking for a meet in December, it’s a good idea to read this one. I’ll try and keep it concise :).

Phone Number
I’ve decided that I’m going to trial advertising a phone number on AW on days that I’m available. This is a brand new phone number I’ve got on a temporary basis. If you have my current work number or would prefer to contact me through AW messages, please use this. I will always prioritise people I’ve met before and people that contact me through the messaging system. The number I’ll be advertising is a temporary number to test out to see how it goes. I’ll give it a month or 2 then decide if I want to keep it advertised. But I will prioritise my current number so regs - please don’t switch phone numbers, just keep using the number you already have for me :).

Glasgow Tour
I am going to be in Glasgow next week! There are more details on my page or drop me a message if you’d like more info but I’m looking forward to coming back for my last tour of 2023 :).

December Availability
December is typically a crazy month for folk. Work night outs, catching up with relatives you only see a few times a year, that weird limbo period between Christmas and Hogmanay where no one knows what the fuck is going on. I will be taking a little time off this month, not for any Christmas shenanigans but because I’m getting a hefty bit of tattooing done! My tattoo artist has advised I plan to take off a few days to a week afterward to allow for healing. So at the moment I’ve left a chunk of time between the 20th - 26th of December off my availability. On those dates, I’ll be waiting to see how I feel and updating nearer the time :).

I’m very excited about this next tattoo project and if anyone is feeling extra generous and fancies contributing, I would love that so much :). Every time I get tattooed, I feel a little more comfortable in my skin, a little happier, they really are a big part of me :). Otherwise, hopefully you’ll be able to admire my new addition in the flesh!

Bah Humbug.
Christmas ain’t my thing. I wrote more about this in a blog last year, check out “C-bombs away!” from last December if you’re interested to hear what I think about this holiday but for the sake of this blog, it’s just not for me. (No hate on folk that love it though ;)!) So if you’re looking for a little respite from carols, the twinkling of decorations or just the boring old question of have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? Then my place is the place to be! I promise not to mention the dreaded C word and the only trees spotted here are the ficuses growing all year round.

I think that’s me caught up with the admin for now. Hopefully it wasn’t too much of a snooze ;).

Frightfully yours,

No ingredients for waffles. Just waffle.

Hello, ahoy and welcome to the latest edition of my shite patter! I hope you’re as comfy and cosy as I am writing this. The vibe is a big hoodie, candles lit on every available surface and the low growl of my belly since I’m currently procrastinating over what to cook. Maybe I’ll have decided by the end of this blog, is that enough to entice you to read the whole thing? The suspense has got you hooked.

I’ve been up to all sorts of fun since my last blog! Personally and professionally which has made me pretty happy after having a bit of a pants time (another story for another time). Honestly I think the most exciting thing was my very first trip where I travelled to see a client! I don’t just mean an outcall to some other part of Edinburgh, but an actual other city. It’s not something that anyone has made a (genuine) enquiry for before and I was so excited to be asked, especially having had such an incredible first session with them earlier this year! The session was planned well in advance and by the time the day came along, I was so ready to get into that hotel room and have some fireworks of our own ;). I’ll leave the details between us but needless to say, our second session was just as intense as our first and I am keeping my fingers crossed for a third! Grabbing dinner before catching the train home was just the icing on my favourite kinda cake :).

Talking of… should I have cake for dinner? No… I’ll keep procrastinating.

The next exciting stop this month was my trip north to Inverness! I love visiting Inverness. I find it such a peaceful city to spend time in. Although my tour was quiet, my sessions were fun and I’m already looking forward to next time! (Probably spring 2024) I was home barely a weekend before I was through spending a night with one of my best friends. A few cocktail cans, cuddling her dog and sharing some gossip makes for a good Monday night. All this before a wee jaunt to Dundee the following evening for a tour down to the vaults. Yes, Dundee has vaults! I’m yet to talk to anyone about them that’s heard they exist before! If you like nerding up on history a bit, I would say it’s worth a trip. If you’re a fan of the Edinburgh vaults (guilty!), then it’s not the same vibe but really interesting and cool to learn some local history :).

I accept I’m waving my nerd flag here and some of you are just clinging on the cliffhanger of what am I going to make for tea! Soup? I’ve had too much soup recently. Noodles? I love noodles.

The last bit of waffle before I sign off from this blog (and greet over not having the right ingredients for waffles), I have posted details for my last tour of 2023 and I’m coming back to Glasgow baby! Check out my profile for the details :).

I think that’s everything I had to say. Time for the all important sign off…

Halloween hauntings and Samhain spooks!

Welcome to my creepy corner of the internet where all year round, I like to lurk in the shadows and get a little ooky spooky, probably with my boobs out ;).

In my last blog, I was talking about getting some Halloween content made with grand plans of posting it over spooky season. Has it happened? Has it fuck. I don’t know what happened to October but something did. Maybe a ghoul made me lose all sense of time or a witch cast some sort of spell on me to make me forget all my plans. Whatever it is, I’ve decided I’ll still be making Halloween content… just not for Halloween. I want to live the ooky spooky life all year round baby!

So other than losing all sense of time, where have I been since my last blog? I know there are at least 2 people just vaguely interested in hearing about it. That might be putting it too strongly, politely curious? Willing to waste some time reading this waffle?

October has been a busy month for me! A weekend away with friends and another friend visiting for a weekend. Throw in a couple of night outs, dates and daily life and it makes for a busy harlot! I loved my weekend away with my friends. Hot tub, failing miserably at pool and watching some truly daft horror films, including one partly filmed in Aberdeen where we had fun trying to spot places we recognised. It was the best kind of weekend :).

On the weekend just passed, me and my bestie were looking for some Halloween horrors! I love scary stuff and the kind of nonsense with jump scares and anything a wee bit spooky! One stop on the weekend took us to a horror walk through in Dundee. I jumped just at the desk for booking in! Back in Edinburgh, we went on a couple of ghost walks that took us down into the vaults. Well worth reading about if you’re interested in that sort of thing. I didn’t see any ghosts but I was suitably enthralled ;). Throw in a couple of graveyard visits and a lot of time spent just blethering, I loved it!

Talking of blethering, I’m shutting up for now :p. If you read this in time, have a gorgeous Halloween! It’s a beautiful time of year to drink in nature and relax, get cosy and of course find a naked body to cuddle ;). And if you are looking for such a naked body, I can promise mine gives the best bosies!

Frightfully yours,

I’m a friendly kinda spook

Halfway through September, are you feeling spooky yet? I’m always a little spooky, it’s for life not just for October :p!

I wanna do some Halloween content this year and I’ve started thinking about it because these things do take time and planning. Last year I wanted to go all out but then just ran out of time, money, inspiration? All the stuff you need!

So while I’m thinking about it and what I’m gonna do for next month, I’d love to ask for your ideas! Is there a horror character you’d love to see me dress up as? Fancy watching me carve a pumpkin while I chat a little filth? Maybe there’s a classic halloween costume you think I’d look fuckable in? I would love to hear what you think! I have some ideas that I’m working on already but I’m still looking for more. If you have an idea that you think would suit me, drop me a message!

And content aside, I’m down for all things spooky! If you’ve got some spooky chat for me, I’m here for it. And if this blog has you scared of coming to see me, I promise I’m a friendly kinda spook ;). More casper than Bloody Mary. A little hocus pocus rather than the Blair Witch. I’ll always be the wannabe Morticia before I’m Annie Wilkes!

Before I wrap this up, I just wanted to add a quick comment about touring! I’ve had a few messages about Inverness and Glasgow recently. I had wanted to try and make it to either or both in September but unfortunately accommodation was either really booked up or just too expensive for me in both places. I’m hoping to make it to Inverness in November and maybe Glasgow in November or early December.

I’m still hopeful I’ll be able to go to London next month. It’s been a really expensive time for me recently so I’ve a few barriers between me and booking travel or accommodation but as always, AW will be the first place I post any touring info so keep an eye here :). I should be in Aberdeen from the 21st - 23rd of September though and I still have availability for anyone looking to see me then :).

Frightfully yours,

It's all over :(

The pop up bars and seating areas are being dismantled. The food trucks have scuttled off to the next big event. The stages have been cleared. The Edinburgh Fringe 2023 finished this week. That’s it for another year.

But it’s not so sad, I had the most incredible month packing in 37 shows! And cheese eating aside, I’m glad to have seen all of them! So bear with me for one final fringe blog before I shut up about it for another 10 months or so ;).

In my last blog, I mentioned some favourites so far but now that I’ve got a much bigger list, I’ve been trying to whittle it down to a top 5! I’d say I saw a bit more of a mix of shows this year. Definitely heavily comedy based but with a little cabaret, theatre and drag thrown in too which was great to get a little variety. So here is my top 5… in no particular order as they were all fucking great:

Daniel Downie: Jacobite
Sofie Hagen: Banglord
Susan Morrison is walking funny
Nish Kumar: WIP
Ask a Stripper

I saw Daniel Downie at the Fringe last year for the first time and his show was my favourite and honestly, I have to say his show this year was my favourite too! My friends and I were all in the front row and got picked on a wee bit, which I kinda love :p. Sofie Hagen is one of my favourite comedians and this is the 3rd time I’ve seen them live! I would so recommend them if you like left wing comedians that talk about fat phobia, feminism and trans rights all under their benevolent dictatorship!

I spoke about Susan Morrison’s show in my last blog, it still stands out as one of my very favourites from this year and I’ll definitely be trying to catch one of her shows again! Nish Kumar is probably one of the best known comedians I’ve seen this year, I’ve seen him live a couple of times before as well and he’s probably my favourite political comedian. I was so chuffed I got to catch him on the short run he did this year and will definitely try and catch him on future tours!

In choosing my top 5, I was split between two other comedians so instead of making myself choose between the two, I put in a different show altogether, ask a stripper! I wasn’t sure what to expect from this show, especially when we turned up at the venue which was a yurt. But I really loved it! Hearing two women from a different sector of sex work talk about their experiences and openly answering questions (completely naked) was so great! I love sex work and I love hearing about all the parts that I’ve never ventured into! (Because no, I will never be a stripper, I have zero coordination :p!)

And if anyone is wondering who the two comedians that I couldn’t decide between were, it was Joe McTernan and Christopher Macarthur-Boyd. But really, I could list more of the shows I saw this year! Even the shows that weren’t as good as I was hoping they’d be, none were a disappointment and I just had a fucking great time in August :).

Time for a much quieter, more chilled out September though. It’s time to welcome in Autumn and get ready for spooky season!

Frightfully yours,

Is this your cheese?

Well we’re just over a week into the Fringe and mine has had quite the kick off with 16 shows under my belt! So here I am with a wee roundup including my favourites so far and one that I’m still asking myself if it really happened…

I’ve really enjoyed 14 of my 16 shows! (Which is pretty good going when you like taking a wee risk here and there with your choices!) My favourite so far has been a history walking tour with Susan Morrison! One of my favourite things about Edinburgh is the history, it really speaks to my inner nerd :p. In her show, Susan Morrison talks about some of the more illicit history of Edinburgh including some relating to sex work which obviously I just love hearing about. I would definitely recommend it even if you’re just vaguely interested in history because she is super funny.

One of my other favourite shows was Joe McTernan: Life advice that won’t change your life. I’d seen a few of his videos online but they were more sketches rather than stand up and I wasn’t sure how much I’d enjoy his show but I fucking loved it! It manages to be funny and endearing?! Definitely a nice one to fit in to pick you up :). For something a little more risque, The Confessional was a lot of fun! And if you’re reading this blog, there’s every chance you have a confession or two waiting to come to light ;).

So… what were the 2 that let me down? Well, one of them wasn’t actually bad. It’s just that it was very similar to the show we saw last year! So I’m not going to complain too much about it, it’s just that for a show that calls itself unpredictable, you may expect a little more variety but it’s still a fun show to saunter along to at 1am ;).

And show 16 of 16… I think I’m still processing! My friend and I had left the comedy striptease (definite recommend!) and thought we’d have a look to see if there were any late night shows we could get to and what do you know, there was one! Heading along to our beloved banshee and making our way to the cinema room, we spent over an hour watching what my friend called the fringiest fringe show she’d ever seen! I’m not going to say much more because I don’t want to spoil it for anyone that might like to stumble across it like we did. I thought it was awful and I would have left in the first 10 minutes. But my friend loved it and we stayed to the very end. So if you find yourself looking for a little late night curiosity, head along to banshees and let me know whether you were on my side or my friends. I was glad to be several rum and cokes deep at that point of the evening :p.

My goal this year is 30 shows so I’m halfway there. If you read this and fancy a wee blether about fringe shows or think you have a good recommendation for me, I’d love to hear about it! I’ve got some friends visiting for a Fringe weekend this week and I’m planning a few solo trips too so there is definitely time to fit in some more. I fucking love this festival :).

That’s enough of me gushing over comedy for now, time that I retreat to my newly decorated crypt ;).

Frightfully yours,

PS The blog subject is a reference to one of the shows I mentioned. If you know, you know ;)

There's a spreadsheet involved.

Are you ready? Can you feel it? Is Fringe fever set to take hold? No? Just me? :p

I’ve spent a chunk of time since my last blog coming up with schedules. There’s a spreadsheet involved. I had pages of notes. Who has their heart set on what show. Who has to be on the last bus home. Who needs to eat every 2 hours on the clock to avoid a hangry tantrum. Who will complain if they have to walk more than 10 minutes between venues (and drinks!). But I’ve done it. Everyone is catered to and I think I’ve packed in a lot of shows for two trips for friends visiting!

Every friendship group has a planner, right? It’s definitely me in my main circle. Sometimes I have a wee moan about it but not when it comes to the Fringe. If you haven’t gotten the gist by now, I’m a fringe fanatic and it’s gonna be the main topic of discussion for a while. #sorrynotsorry. (Is that still a thing?)

Coordinating a weekend of comedy, cocktails and catching up is absolutely up my street. And you can bet that during the days in question, I’ll be putting on my best tour guide impression manoeuvring my friends around the tourists and irritated locals!

“But Holly, that must mean you’re all fringed out? 2 weekends of Fringe shows? And an extra evening here and there?” I hear you ask… Of course not! :p My energy and enthusiasm for the fringe cannot be diminished! So here is the part where I remind you that I am available as a date to check out some shows. My tastes are predominantly comedy, anything spooky and I enjoy the odd cabaret or magic or burlesque shows too! Here are a few shows that haven’t made it into my schedule yet:

The Stand-Up Horror Show
Pierre Novellie: Why are you laughing?
Board Game Smackdown
Arron Jones (either show)
Alex Farrow: Wisdom of the crowd

If you like the look of any of these (or any of the shows on my last blog), or if you have any ideas for other shows just drop me a message. I’m totally up for being a date to a show or just blethering about what shows I loved and what was keich! Also, if you just want to support my love of the fringe and help me out with buying a ticket or a wee drink while I’m at a show, drop me a message to find out how. It’s so appreciated!

Before I disappear, since I’ve had a few messages about this recently. I don’t have any updates on my touring schedule after August but I’m still hoping for an Inverness and London trip. Things are a bit tight just now so once I can afford to book stuff, I’ll confirm dates. I am definitely coming to Aberdeen next week though! I’m ready for a rowie!

Time for me to scuttle off and find some old clothes to do a spot of DIY this weekend. My creepy crypt is getting a wee makeover!

Frightfully yours,

Fringe Fever: 2023 Outbreak

August is only a couple of weeks away and what does that mean? The Fringe is almost here! Unlike some of my fellow Edinburgh locals, I fucking love the Fringe! If you read any of my blogs from last year, you’ll know I like to get stuck in and see as much comedy as I can handle.

I’ve taken some time to go through the programme and I’ve a long list of shows I’d love to see. Some are comedians or performers I know I love and others are just shows I like the sound of. I think the Fringe is a really great experience to explore and see new performers you might not usually. Plus the energy in the city is just addictive :).

I’ll be taking a few days off here and there in August to catch some shows with my friends but if anyone is looking for a date to a show, I am totally up for it! I know going to shows solo is sometimes intimidating or just not as fun so I’m totally game to be a plus 1 and scope out comedy with you. Here is a wee list of shows I really fancy seeing but I’m also really open to suggestions:

Billy Kirkwood: Show me your tattoo
Confessional
David O’Doherty: Tiny Piano Man
Ew Girl, You Nasty
Huge Davies: Whodunnit
Sex Job
David Alnwick: Necromancer
Seance

This is really just a small selection of shows I’ve picked out that I’m interested in seeing. As I said, I’m totally open to other ideas too :). Give me a shout if you’d like to talk about all things Fringe, whether that’s to go to a show with me or if you have recommendations or just a general blether :).

Now, a wee shout about touring before I disappear for a weekend of cocktails and shenanigans ;). I’ll be in Aberdeen at the start of August if I get enough advance bookings and genuine enquiries. I cancelled my Glasgow tour at the start of July because I didn’t. Honestly, I really love touring but sometimes I can’t afford to risk the loss in money on expenses if sessions are quiet.

I am hoping to come to Inverness in September and I was hoping to try and get to Glasgow too but my accommodation options are looking quite expensive and the dates are limited so I’ll try and figure that out soon. I’m still trying to make London happen in October! Drop me a message if you want to help me towards my touring costs or make any plans for sessions.

That’s it from me for a few days. I have a rare few days of socialising plus hopefully a bit of tree hugging ;). Maybe that’ll be a topic for a future blog!

Farewell June.

Ugh. June. I’m glad she’s gone. While it was a month with some definite highlights, it also had plenty of shite moments! I should have known it was going to be a shitshow when my phone packed in and I had the expense of replacing it…

So what’s been going on? Excluding the phone fiasco, it actually had a pretty strong start. Reacquainting with someone special, seeing a few of my favourites and making plans with more plus a camping trip to look forward to. What more could I ask for? Cue me waking up ill. Some exciting plans got cancelled and I spent a few days in bed.

But I bounced back! I had my Inverness tour and my camping trip to get me back on my feet! Even a 4 hour bus journey in the sweltering heat with aircon that only seemed to blow hot air around was not going to diminish my enthusiasm for visiting one of my favourite spots and I had a lovely few days in Inverness albeit if it was a bit quiet with a few cancellations along the way. I’m so grateful to the folk that did come to see me and really made my trip :).

On the Friday I left, I was sitting by the river enjoying some shade when Frankie Boyle walked past me… As a bit of a comedy groupie, it had me more than a little excited! It felt so random. (Although since he was doing a gig there that night and given the size of Inverness… I guess it's not so random :p.) I spent most of the weekend naked on a beach further north and I even made it for a dip in the sea when it was warm enough. It felt amazing. I love getting naked in nature!

What didn’t feel amazing was waking up on the Sunday rough as fuck. I honestly didn’t know if I had a mad hangover or a sudden rush of allergies or what but I can tell you the return bus journey to Edinburgh was even worse. By the time I made it home, I crashed into bed and stayed there for about a week!

I’m happy to say though that June did end on a high with some fun sessions and an afternoon of cocktails and nattering with one of my besties!

July is off to a great start and I’m excited, the countdown for the Fringe is on and if you read any of my blogs from last summer you’ll know I’m all over it! Prepare yourselves for some Fringe fever coming soon!

But for now, I hope your June was better than mine and until next time…

Frightfully yours,
