I’ve just told Truss the same things I told Johnson when he took the job: Work hard, follow the rules, treat people with respect and never lie to the pubic. I just hope she was paying more attention than he did…

Someone's had the same public speaking training (or more likely licked the same magic mushrooms) as her eloquent predecessor .... fb.watch/foq3nqTnaR/

Just had to share how wonderful the lovely @Gildedballoon staff were during my week there despite me pestering them daily for tickets here there and everywhere - they even presented me with a GB t-shirt 😎 Wonder would that get me a staff job next year 🤔 Cheers folks 🇮🇪☘

So many acts l did not get to - l think l need to recalibrate my next fringe.Yes l will hit the big ticket acts but also seek out those with no big PR machine or team of flyerers ... they have the same hopes, dreams and aspirations as everyone else and deserve a shot too 😎
As EdFringe winds down l've been reflecting on my week there - familiars @maisieadam @greenescreen @alisonspittle,new to me acts like @juliejaycomedy @aliterative @eleanortiernan and 'WTF have l just seen on stage?😳' @tarabo @elf_lyons - all brilliant,kudos to all 40 l saw!

l'm going all philosophical in me ould age!Reflecting on my week at EdFringe what strikes me most is the folk of all ages who come here with a handful of flyers and a dream to entertain, who bare their heart and soul and invite you to be a part of that - respect their dream ...

Neither you nor they truly know where that dream is going. In 2018 l was squeezing in one last show on departure day so l picked one off the blackboard - just a name,no poster,no flyer,no info,flying blind.A gangly young Yorkshire lass bounded onstage and just took over ....

I always start my fringe with my first morning brekkie in Olly Bongos sitting in the window watching the world come to be entertained. Today it's my fringe finish and,apart from the front row in any hotbox venue,is still my favourite seat in the house ..... slán Edinburgh ☘🇮🇪
