Award-winning comedian Diane Spencer's sixth hour-long stand-up show is based on her real life experiences of 2014, when she was trying to find/make a dream house, despite being unable to afford it, and being absolutely crap at DIY. She also got a surprise phone call from a media celebrity asking to write a biographical play to produce at the Fringe, and this show covers the good, bad and weird things that happened along the way. Diane's story unfolds with her typical charm, sparkling wit and dark humour. 'Enthralling storytelling ability' ***** (EdFestMag.com).

Sarah Millican, Mickey Noonan and Sofie Hagen, Standard Issue, 24th August 2015A Londoner's guide to the Edinburgh Fringe
Heading out of London in search of culture may seem like a crazy idea for those who've never been to the Edinburgh Fringe. But this counter-cultural smackdown is not to be missed, even if it does mean heading "oop north 'cross t' border£" (yes, you will have to cross the M25). But newbies need not be intimidated; we went up recently and survived to tell the tale. So here are 10 things to remember to ensure your Fringe isn't too, um, hairy:

Standard Issue, 29th July 2015More details
In 2014 award-winning comedian Diane Spencer wanted to earn enough money to get on the housing ladder and she met a media celebrity who wanted a writer to create a fringe show. Their paths met, their opinions collided.
This is the story of possibly one of the strangest years in Diane's life, dealing with hazardous estate agents, language barriers and airplane turbulence in trying to achieve that dream of a place to call home.
In 2013, Diane wrote Hurricane Diane (performed at the Gilded Balloon) which received 4 x 5 star reviews at the Edinburgh fringe festival, revealing how Diane had met the love of her life, despite being a natural disaster. Power Tool follows on from that, revealing details from Diane's life story, told in her inimitable, hilarious and honest style.
Diane Spencer won the Chortle Best Newcomer 2011 and was The New Current's Woman of the Year in 2013. She has written 5 stand-up hour long shows, achieving critical acclaim and recognition for her edgy storytelling and charm.
