A financial bribe to win a Malcolm Hardee Award
Yesterday, with the increasingly prestigious Malcolm Hardee Comedy Award nominations announced, I bumped into performer Joz Norris in the street, who tried to persuade me it was not too late for him to win for a Cunning Stunt Award.

Edinburgh intros #29: 'Pig-rat hybrid;' Norris is adamant that comics should be naff idiots rather than like rock stars you idolise.
Laugh Out London, 15th August 2015Joz Norris: Edinburgh Fringe 2015 interview
Joz Norris is the Andrex puppy of comedy. Lovable with a sense of fun, but with hidden darkness that comes out in the form of ruining toilet roll. He'll always be one of our favourite acts at the Edinburgh Fringe. So do go see him. The Chuckle Brothers recommend him too.

"Why is this going to be your first Edinburgh Fringe show?" I asked comedian Laura Lexx yesterday.

British Comedy Guide, 21st July 20155 things no Fringe performer should be without
The Edinburgh Fringe can be a funny old time for performers. It represents the culmination of a year's hard work writing and rehearsing a show. Artists will have invested a huge amount both financially and emotionally and the gruelling slog of bringing the show to the public, while exhilerating and hugely rewarding, can be a big challenge too.

Ali Brice's mental health continues to slip slowly into decline. The other day he stood in the hall wearing nothing but a towel and showing us all his testicles while making direct eye contact with all of us and not saying a thing. I just stood there drinking an Americano and laughed and laughed and laughed.

It's halfway through the Fringe and I've won. I got a call from Fringe CEO John Fringe the other day (it was an 0843 number) and he proudly told me, in his inimitable Scottish brogue, that my show had impressed him so much that I had won the Fringe.

I'm starting to worry about Ali Brice. Last night at 2am I found him in his room using an umbrella to stir a shirt around a bucket of soapy water while muttering "It's blue, it's just too blue" under his voice. His bedroom shelves are covered in jars of mayonnaise, and yesterday I watched him eat a bacon sandwich with a knife and fork and suck egg out of his own moustache.

I'm currently in Edinburgh, hiding 'neath the bridge. There's some wifi from a nearby hostel, which I've hacked into by correctly guessing the password "MagicDust74." My boots are filling up with rainwater because I've temporarily taken them off to flex my toes, so I'll have to be quick, but I should just have time for me to post my first exclusive blog for Laugh Out London.
