I don't know who Wil Hodgson is. I nearly clicked Adam Hills on the strength of that, but then you would be getting ILL-INFORMED advice. More days. Do that one.
I spent an hour and a half frantically swapping around people last night and only just got a three-hour slot sorted out. Sort of complicated by the 24-hour show killing both the 18th and late on the 17th. In summary: ARGH.
I know! I can't BELIEVE they didn't let me do another placement this year. I could have seen everything helped combat violence against women.
I wish they were all in proper slots against each other. I've realised that my choice is more accurately Wil Hodgson + Bridget Christie, or Adam Hills + Pappy's. Or, as the poll seems to suggest, find more days to go.
Poor you with your 24 hour ticket. Who did you jettison?
At the moment the only must-see that is languishing on the benches is Robin Ince, and to an extent I just have to go a show of his before and show after and I will be, quite literally, laughing.
Query/top tip: Stewart Lee ends his show in The Stand five minutes before Adam Hills starts his in the Assembly, am I right in thinking that's doable? I don't remember all the geography.
I think that's pushing it slightly, in terms of getting out of The Stand if it's a few minutes over, I wouldn't risk it. But then I am always scared of arriving late and having to miss things when they won't let latecomers in. (Google maps claims 8 minutes, which is a bit generous, but still.) How do you feel about making a late entrance?
I do find it less easy to muster up sympathy for someone who can see most people in the city in which he lives ANYWAY. Though I must [...]
AH HA! I just went to check a Lancaster theatre website to see if I could justifiably claim that all we get are Roy Chubby Brown and Jim Davidson (yes, in the same month, sandwiching Pam Ayres...) and Adam Hills is very kindly coming to Lancaster in November! Wil Hodgson it is. And maybe more days anyway.
I am okay with entering late to Adam Hills, as I imagine he'll be in the enormohall with the three tiers of seats and will hardly notice me. I missed Hils Barker (I think) last year because I stayed right to the end of Andrew O'Neill's free show (because he was telling that story about being in a fight) and she was in the tiny tiny broom closet at the top of the Teviot where the door opens onto the stage.
Thank you for the sympathy, and the effort behind it!
I have voted more days so you will be HAPPIER, not because I am horrible. I'm not even being sarcastic there. I was worried that all of our 'joking' about wanting you to go away for MONTHS again would make you sad and then I voted out of KINDLY wanting you to see more of Edinburgh and then I worried that you would think maybe I was voting out of MALICE and so I commented, but now it just looks worse. WHATEVER, CLARE, I JUST TRY TO BE NICE, ALL THE TIME I TRY.
If you choose to ignore ALL THE ADVICE OF YOUR FLIST, then you should see the pink haired man. Obviously. I am slightly against people seeing Adam Hills.
I TOOK IT KINDLY! I am finding your 'joking' as amusing as ever, because I realise that you are using humour to mask your deep-seated fears about me going away.
But Wil Hodgson is also wonderful! I think I might have plumped for Wil Hodgson in the end anyway, because Adam Hills is on TV a lot, and Wil Hodgson never is. But I'm really pleased that I get to do both.
