Rooty toot, seekers of justice!
Yesterday saw the premier and premiere appearance of the 'Dan Kamikaze' performers on the High Street stage. After bussing in from our secret 'Kamikaze-Kave' to the West of Edinburgh, we burst onto the podium with scant seconds to spare before our allotted spot began.
From thrilling the crowds with a selection of our hot tunes, we serpentined through the crowds and down to our venue, eteaket, in Frederick Street (on the corner with George Street) , where we had delicious tea and a selection of scones. Oh, and someone had an iced coffee. And I had a macchiatto that just about blew my durned head off. You don't need alcohol, kids - get one of those foamed-up espressos and that'll keep you going all day!
It's always been part of my philosophy to look out for the underdog and give a helping-hand to those who deserve it and, as from today, I'll be aiming to do just that by presenting '40-word Profiles' of some of the performers helping me out in my show. (I'll be using their secret identity monikers for obvious security reasons.) First up is General Calamity - or, as she's known to all but a select few of her acquaintances, Natassia Gunn:
'...The Name: Natassia Gunn... The Age: 21... The Passion: Performing... The Experience: Degree in Musical Theatre and Drama... The Ambition: To perform on the West End and Broadway...
No mention of kidnapping and threatening behaviour there, I notice, but very interesting nonetheless.
You'll see I've added another image to today's thing. It's me 'sans costume', when I was still plain Orville Williams (see title - another hit number from the show!), being got at by my co-workers in the teashop. It's an image that brings back bad memories. But then again, I think of how it was their bullying behaviour that helped motivate me to transform my daily grind and become the pink-and-green paragon of justice I am today!
Yes kids, you too can change your life for the better...and you can get more tips on how by seeing my show. Tonight's sold out but there may be tickets left for tomorrow. Contact edfringe.com and they'll link you through to the Box Office.
I guess that's it for today. I'm off home now for a piece of toast made from a Tesco 'Value' thick-sliced white loaf. They're delicious and are only 30p (a saving of 17p) until Tuesday, August 16th. With a world wheat shortage imminent, I'm aiming to buy 2,000 in the next week and deep-freeze them in the cellar of my secret fortress at the South Pole. It pays to plan ahead!
More soon,
Dan
