British Comedy Guide, 8th October 2020Should I take a show to the Edinburgh Fringe?
If you follow any comedians on Twitter, read arts pages in newspapers / online content providers or are in Edinburgh in August then you'll know that the Edinburgh Fringe is happening. Right now. I'm on the train heading up there, literally now. Has it finished yet? No, it goes on for blimmin' ages. It lasts pretty much the whole of August. Which is why people bang on and on about if for ages in August. I've done it, I know. Talk to my friends. Actually, don't; they wish to hear no more about it. But as a writer/performer/producer/directer, whether you've got your foot in the door and stepped directly onto the ladder while passing go and collecting £200 or are stood waiting at the door in the pissing rain with no coat or umbrella then it's worth thinking about Edinburgh.

Or average ideas. Let's call them meh-deas and that could become another brilliant media term for tossers like me and you to use. What may come as a surprise is that there are some very commonly pitched meh-deas.

The reasons why those 249 scripts get rejected are many and varied. It's all subjective, but those scripts will almost all be of very good quality.
