Rob Brydon's Identity Crisis

is on BBC Four now.

I'm usually way behind on these things so apologies if you all know he's on but I've just noticed.

Is it about him planning his stand-up tour? If so I've seen it before.

Yep I missed it first time round. Quite interesting watching him develop his act.

Yeah, it's a good programme. I saw him live so it was interesting to see how the final show had progressed.

Yep I remembered after I posted you saw him live. I hope to sometime.

As this has basically turned into a thread between you and me and will get closed soon or disappear tomorrow... talking of stand up I'm really looking forward to Edinburgh now. I've got tickets for Stewart Lee and Sean Hughes - and will try for Andrew Lawrence next (on Dan's recommendation)

Mark Thomas isn't on when I'm there which is a shame and Daniel Kitson's on at midnight! I'm far too much of a lightweight for that. Ricky Gervais sold out within about five minutes I think but at least I've seen him before.

I'm also looking forward to just turning up at random events.

:)

I'm going to Edinburgh in the second week, I've left it late in the day and I've still got to sort out accommodation, I don't even know who I want to see yet, I don't even know who I'm going with yet, but I look forward to the train journey and giving my Young Persons Railcard its final run out.

Have you seen the guide - it's like a phonebook!! I kept putting off sorting anything but didn't want to end up just seeing weird stuff so I made an effort this week.

Maybe you can tell me what's good when you get back as I'm going for the last week.

Enjoy!

There does seem to be a lot more shows this year. I have a lot less money so I'll have to prioritise and just see the people I really want to, but from time to time I'll try something slightly different...

Yep that ticks the 'different' box.

That's the kind of show I'm looking forward to taking a chance on at the last minute.
