"Touch... safe... nice"

Hello!

How the months have flown by! Welcome to the newest, latest, bestest edition of Comedy Lounge, this month in the shape of a special Festival edition, happily appearing just as the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2004 is starting, if not before. Inside these glorious pages you’ll find a list of previewed shows we guarantee will have you laughing and maybe even so much that you'll wet yourself. You’ll also find a comprehensive venue guide, including box office and toilet locations. We’ll be keeping our traditional Daily Festival Diary, and reviewing shows as and when we see them, so you can keep up to date with what’s happening, when, where and who it’s happening to. We've also got some choice interviews lined up - some of them with comedians who aren't even performing this year. We've cast our comedy net afar.

Since we last spoke, we’ve been busy re-launching the new look, new content, newly plagiarised The Mighty Boosh website, to coincide with the broadcast of the excellent tv series on the excellent BBC3. The imminent transfer to BBC2 will find even more content being added in the next few months, and monitoring the forums has become our new community service. So pull up a stool, grab a cushion and let us tell you what's what, in our slightly immature and amusing way which you have grown to love.

Sharon has taken up the study of psychology, so you have to watch what you say or do around her, or she’ll start analysing you in the style of a Big Brother psychologist, all group dynamics and body language. Sharon has started a new hobby of regular hospital visits, and the constant taking of painkillers and valium relating to her triumphant success in developing an incurable problem with her back. Thanks to the regular intake of prescription drugs, Sharon also has a new fixation with science fiction, and now harbours ambitions of marriage to Peter Davison, Mark Strickson and Nathan Fillion. Finally, everyone on the small green island should rejoice, as she’s back living in Ireland with two parents, two dogs, two cats and a satellite dish. The Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2004 will be the first time Sharon’s left the house in over seven months.

Susan has had possibly the bestest four months ever as she has a shiny new job which she loves which allows her to wear jeans and trainers to work as well as be creative. It really doesn't get much better than that. As if that wasn't enough she hasn't had to hand in her notice and is in fact on duty during the festival - acting as some kind of double agent - and gets to go back to the same job in September. It really is too good to be true. Her new hobby is staying out all night and not making it home or even telling her parents so. In short, she is a dirty stop out and will be moving out of home just as soon as the festival ends and she can find someone who will put up with her crack habit. Susan has also taken to wearing skirts and buying pink shoes.

So you find us refreshed, revivified and, in the best traditions of Ant and/or Dec, ready to rumble. If you see us around the Fringe, please buy us a drink, as our finances are in the worst shape they’ve ever been. Please leave your comments and suggestions wherever you like around the site, or email us at fringe@comedylounge.co.uk.
