Park's Circus is the name of the show I'm in at this year's Edinburgh Fringe. Myself and Tony Wilkes plus Special Guest Stars will be performing at the Roman Eagle Lodge on Johnston Terrace, August 5th - 21st at 9.40pm. Here's the programme blurb ;
"Jim Park and Tony Wilkes plus Special Guest Stars invite you to enter the world of Park’s Circus, a fun and friendly hour of standup comedy, off-the-wall merriment and triangular sandwiches. (note: sandwiches not included)"
You should definitely consider coming to see this show several times, and help us to reduce our losses to a five figure sum.
However after paying £21 000 towards the current building repair going on, the finance involved in putting on a Fringe show seems like small change. I have parted with my cash with the studied nonchalance I'd normally associate with buying a packet of tootie frooties.
I went to see "The Assassination of Nixon" with Sean Penn yesterday. Sean really enjoyed it. (sorry...)
To say this film was downbeat would be something of an understatement. Penn plays a loser who ploughs a steady downward path into the deepest abysses of loserdom over the course of the film. I can't relate to this at all...! :-)
There is no "feelgood factor" at play here.
In fact, I'd describe the film's potential for uplifting the mood, as equivalent to that of watching 90 minutes repeated film of the two airliners smashing into the World Trade Centre.
It's bleak, bleak, bleak.
An impressive performance from Mr Penn though. However I felt a great need to watch "Duck Soup" with the Marx Brothers as an antidote to this gloomy tale.
