2010 Edinburgh Fringe
Doc Brown: Unfamous
Being human, we all have a desire to be special, to leave our mark. But how far would you go to be remembered? What's so special about human beings anyway? Witness a lifetime of extremes as Doc recalls the remarkable events that for him should have spelt infamy, but only spelt unfamy. What led Doc to leave behind crowds of 40,000, sharing stages with Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen...? Why did he walk away from the star treatment, the adulation...? The Fringe provides a chance to see him explain his idiocy to about 50 people in an attic.

This is my third experience of the Fringe (technically it's the fourth but the first time I went I was still in the music business, and I had no idea comedy existed). My brain is such that I can rarely learn more than a lesson a year so, for anyone following in my footsteps, here are three lessons I won't forget.
