Aug 4th-28th - 'Paul Kerensa's 26' came to Smirnoff Underbelly, my and many others' favourite Edinburgh venue.
It's a stand-up show in real-time, and contains Jack Bauer-esque action, some split-screen antics, live algebra and a spot of counter-terrorism. If you're passing Scotland in August, come see me.

'Kerensa', my surname, is Cornish for 'love'. So look through any Cornish songbook and you'll find 'All You Need Is Kerensa', 'Sowing The Seeds of Kerensa', 'I'd Do Anything For Kerensa But I Won't Do That'... Each night during the Edinburgh show, the audience were challenged to suggest their favourite Kerensa song. Many were suggested, but only lucky winner each show could be awarded a prize, which was chosen from Paul's Big Box of Free Prizes, which contained a selection of prizes I got or found for free (as the show's on a budget). Here's them lucky winners then, posted on th'internet for all to see and be jealous of whom...:
The following song titles were suggested between August 4th and 28th, at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
