End Of.

Well I've been back a couple of weeks now - had the obligatory post-festival health breakdown. I think a lot of people are effectively running on empty as the festival draws to a close and once it's over there are a lot of duvet days for the taking. I wanted to do a quick wrap-up post though which will be the last one on this blog (maybe until next year/next festival but no promises) so if you want to stay up to date from here on head over to my main blog Cruella-blog.

But to recap the festival:

Best bit - young a woman in my audience (and not one who'd come to see me specially, one who had seen the show before mine and decided to hang around) who appeared to be texting during my closing section but when questioned turned out to be signing up to the Object mailing list in reaction to stuff I'd been talking about. Yeah!

Worst bit - nasty people from The Fix magazine coming on my blog to attack me for daring to point at the Emperor's New Clothes and say "How exactly is racism and sexism alternative?"

That's 85 shows in 22 days. No wonder I needed a lie-down. Thanks very much to everyone who came and contributed and bought me a beer or put up with me talking bollocks after I'd drunk too many beers. I had a really good festival.
