4 August 2003 Entry: "Hello"

Hi, I've just got back from Edinburgh - warm weather, bars open till all hours, just like the continent.
I saw Jo Brand hailing a taxi and Jenni Eclair buying her lunch.
I paid to see Ross Noble - ten stars, v funny. and Def Poetry Jam - performance poetry from New York, very strong and lively. That'll be popular I guess.
I didn't see Liz Lochhead's Thebans, too much to see and too many people to decide between, that's the problem with a crowd.
I did see Bob Doolally, being funny about football and I recommend count Arthur Strong's the greatest story ever told - surreal and very funny.
