Edinburgh in August!
So this year I am hitting the Festival HARD. I played my first ever Dog On A Swing show at the end of last August, so that Festival was mostly spent watching free shows.
Some sets have been scheduled, others are open mics I am planning to attend regularly, and some have details I need to confirm before announcing. All will be announced here, as well...
Aw yiss.

Hi everyone.
Last April, thanks to many people (and a small number of creatively supportive friends and one super supportive girlfriend), I went to Saratoga Springs to direct a short comedy I wrote called “Speechless”.
