Today was Day 2 of a 4 Day Comedy Course I am taking so that took up the larger part of the day. Straight after this I went up the road to see a show called "An Englishwoman, A Scotswoman and an Irishwoman". This entailed 3 women, as the name suggests, An Englishwoman, A Scotswoman and an Irishwoman all getting up to perform about a 20 minute set of stand-up. And it was hilarious, they were all really good. And FILTHY. Filthy, funny and smart. One of my favourite things is women doing edgy humour well and all three of these ones did that particularly well.
Then last night I saw a guy named Richard Herring. Never heard of him before but apparently he has been to Fringe every year for the last 20 years. He is a popular bloke and his show was a sell-out in a big venue. His show is slick, clever, thoughtful, charming, and very funny. Women in the crowd seriously teared up at him describing his grandma's alzheimers and how his family are dealing with it. It was all very honest and open and while it touched on some raw stuff, he wasn't playing it for sympathy and kept up the laughs and that really made me like him.
