This show is: a) happening on Monday b) going to be EXCELLENT c) an inadvertent test to make sure all attendees - both acts AND audience - are paying attention to the venue change

And adding to this no, I do not want the Fringe to stop. I do not want it to move to England. The solution is not simply to abandon the biggest (and yes, despite everything, best) arts festival in the world. If you love something, you try and fix it.

Smaller than the actual Fringe guide! Far more helpful/sarcastic, too, in that now all the shows about ghosts are on the same page.

THREAD. A while ago my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the worrying weeks dragged on my dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time & inhabiting art's most iconic scenes. What he produced (& how quickly) was phenomenal...

One boon of doing shows at the Phoenix is that we can set our own stupid price options. We put three £5 🎟️s on sale for our next show, categorised as 'I See No Other Alternative' tickets. Only one has sold. So far. ACMS is both a great gig AND long-running experiment in audience financial prudence.

Our next London gig is on Monday July 13th. OH LOOK, A TICKET LINK: wegottickets.com/f/22289 The better we sell for this, the more money we have to splash around on #edfringe print. Like these beautiful booklets of gig recommendations, which we use to flyer for us AND all who sail in us. #BUCKET

In a mere fortnight we are back at @thephoenix_w1 with 3+ hours of comedic excellence, and in amongst the myriad performer-based reasons for your attendance - lordy it's a good line-up - there's also the fact that our July gig annually functions as a kinda Kickstarter type dealio to help with our Edinburgh costs. For just £10, you get a night of comedy and we get money we can use to:
a) pay our acts & tech & producer, AND
b) spend on our #edfringe print, like these glorious flyer booklets from previous years

Now. Most people advertise their Fringe show with a flyer. Simple. Direct. CHEAP. We promote our Fringe show with a 32 page colour booklet that also recommends 300+ other Fringe shows, in time-order, because we want you to enjoy our gigs AND those of our faves too. No-one is charged for inclusion, cos ewww. We wanna help, not hinder. And it's easy to be kind. It's fairly pricey too. So. BUY A TICKET (OR TWELVE???) FOR JULY 13TH AND HELP US IN OUR GLORIOUS ENDEAVOURS.

Thankyou kindly.
