My Shelf Of The Fridge

Stand By For Action!

That was the call last night as 'The Invective Dan Kamikaze' opened at eteaket, Frederick Street, Edinburgh City Centre to a sell-out audience! (Three people had to stand.) The whole show went off very well, which was a mixed blessing as I was hoping to feed my chickens on any old fruit that might have been thrown at us!

Lawdy mama, there was even a group of people there dressed as superheroes - or were they real superheroes? I went to ask 'em but they'd TAKEN OFF from a standing position and flown up into the durned sky...

Today, me and the General and Figure (see photo) are aiming to prance around Edinburgh in our costumes. I just hope those super-villains don't 'go off on one' as I'd hate to use my secret weapon on them. No, let me re-phrase that: I'd like to use my secret weapon on them, but we still got six shows to do.

Which brings me to today's postings from 'cast members'. First up, it's Eve, who plays sultry temptress, Lena McCartney, before returning later as physicists' fave , Lulu Hodgkinson. Someone will snap this gal up for a major role soon:

I’m Eve, I’m 19 and I’ve lived in Carlisle for a year, training to be a teacher. My performing experience began at the age of 4, dancing with the Northeast Amateurs, and has extended to appearing as a principal in several productions and studying at the British School of Pop Singing.

Next up is Katy - 'The Big Figure' - a comic genius. Get her under contract now, before her fee goes up. (She's to the right of the General in today's pic):

I’m Katy, I’m 22 and have recently graduated from York St John University with a 2.1 in Performance: Theatre. I‘ve spent the past year teaching secondary Drama in Carlisle but recently left to pursue my passion in lighting design and operation.

Tomorrow, I'll be adding the secret details of our fab Professor Hodgkinson and those of our fantastic director.

Well, gotta go. Today, I'm wondering how Tesco can sell two litres of 'Fresh'n'Lo' at only 50p, especially as it's just about the tastiest milk around (and is currently on 'My Shelf Of The Fridge', which is also the title of Figure's big number.) I reckon it's because they're charging an exorbitant £1.99 for a 'Variety' pack - too much for not enough 'Coco Pops' is my conclusion. I guess it all balances up in the end, but I'm durned if I know how....

Keep on whittling, woodcutters!
