Tonight is the penultimate show and the last performance by the Red
Company:
Katie Brennan
Benjamin Vivian
If you still haven't seen the show then come tonight as the Fringe is
winding down and people are heading home...but we're still here :-)
Hopefully see you this evening

Apologies need to be made re. yesterday's post:
1. Jon (our other producer) would like to point out that he blew up all the balloons and decorated for Vicki's party, sorry Jon.
2. The second apology is for my complete lack of meteorological etiquette - praising the sun. Poseidon has now sent his unrelenting wrath upon Edinburgh and for this I am truly sorry.
Apologies over and a brand new day ahead (cue The Wiz soundtrack).
So here's to another blustery day in Edinburgh, to watching our posters and flyers fluttering off down the Mile and to Christopher Robin constantly circling my brain proclaiming, "Tut-tut, it looks like rain".
Only one way to wrap up this ridiculous blog and that is to quote the much loved musical 'Piramania!'.....
"AAAAH THE FRINGE!"

Ben (Red Jamie) here! Thanks for all your support since we've
started, had quite a few sell out shows now and got advanced bookings
for every date which is amazing!
The show is going from strength to strength...however...last night
seen an acrobatic stunt added to the show!
During Shiksa Goddess, I took to the stage a little more excitable
than before, when I ran for the bench from an unusual angle....
...the bench went back...
...I went forward...
...did a roly poly across the stage...
...jumped up, carried on singing (missing only a few words in the
process)...
...the band kept playing (with horrified faces), as some of them
nearly lost limbs due to the bench flying...
...and the show carried on...
...for as a good friend often says to me "That's the magic of theatre
darling! The show must go on!"
A few titters and gasps from the audience and a bruised hip later,
everything is now fine, but I think I've developed a fear of benches!
Apart from this the show is running great, but Alex (Blue Jamie) is
literally feeling blue and ill at the moment so get well soon!
Therefore tonight will be the first crossover cast show:
Cathy - Branwen
Jamie - Ben
See you all tonight

Hi everyone,
Natalia here, on blogging duty for the first time!
It's breakfast time again in the L5Y flat and we're getting ready for another day of flyering. Both our casts have done two performances now and the run is going exceptionally well so far. Audiences have been nearly sold out every show and we're getting great responses from them – we're so grateful to everyone who has come along.
The main news is that TODAY at 5pm our lovely Blue Team (Alex and Branwen) will be performing a set of songs from the show in the foyer at C Plaza at George Square. Come along and get a taste of what L5Y sounds like!
We've also been trying to squeeze in as many other shows as we can, in between our flyering and show schedule. Shows members of our team have been very impressed with include 'A Midsummer Night's Madness', 'Next Thing You Know', 'The Improvised Musical' and 'Truly Medley Deeply'. The list of shows to see keeps on growing – lots of good stuff out there!
Also, our MD Paddy is playing keyboard for another show, a comedy improv piece called 'Nothing To Show'. Do check them out (http://www.watchthistheatre.co.uk/), they're a very funny and talented cast and the show is hilarious!
Thanks for all the continuing support, much love to you all.
