Pretty sure if you go to The Phoenix by mistake on Monday you will end up at a stranger's party. DON'T DO THAT. Come to The Albany, where we'll be, grinning over seeing Robin Ince's Book Club 9 million times in there, and all our own previous gigs in that very space too.

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.
