Day Three: Mechanical Fuck Beast

We were sitting in the Pleasance courtyard today, being flyered approximately once every thirty seconds, as the flyerers still care about what they're doing, and haven't yet seen all their shows and so can still lie convincingly about the quality of what they're pushing, and we were generally enjoying being there in the sunshine without too bad a hangover. However, Sharon was experiencing some discomfort, as she had a sore eye, and didn't know the cause.

Over sauntered Fringe First winner and - more importantly - Comedy Lounge Award winner Sir Adrian Poynton, who is doing a fabulous show this year in the Pleasance called Success. He came to say hi, and enquired after our health. Sharon informed him at that point she was having problems with her eye. Adrian offered to help. Sharon offered her eye to him. And lo, a miracle occured. With one touch of the Poynton miraculous healing hands, the pain disappeared, Sharon was cured and she could see once more. So, if there are any lepers or cripples, blind men or those with eczema in the Edinburgh area, we'd recommend you attend the Pleasance Below at 4.35pm and ask him to heal you too.

We attended three shows today, two of them for free thanks to more kindly flyerers. Laurence and Gus are fabulously brilliant, and should be seen by all - reviews coming soon. Spencer Brown was also highly enjoyable, and we left with joyous hearts.

Lee Mack took time out of his show to catagorise us both in to his two definitions of lady's faces - apparently Sharon is a Plate Face while Susan is more of a Horse Face. We don't know what this might mean, but we'll be demanding an explanation soon and will get back to you.
