Last Day in Edinburgh
So today was our first and only day in Scotland post-fringe. We had a nice lie-in (well, most did- I got up early and had coffee with my new friend Jaylene, and then came back and cleaned up the living room). Once we were all suitably roused, we went for tea at Eteaket, an unbearably adorable tea place with delicious teas. Also, we had tasty sandwiches and tiny pastries. Then we headed towards Arthur’s Seat by way of the Royal Mile. We had never really ventured any further East than our performance venue, and it was amazing to see a new part of the city. It’s so easy to get used...
Read MoreThoughts on Reviews and What We Do
Almost every improv review here in Edinburgh starts out with some version of “improv is hard!” I would love to see a review of a scripted play that goes something like this: “Memorizing a full ninety minutes worth of dialogue and blocking is very difficult.

I’m going to go back in history a little and recount my voyage to Scotland. I woke up early on Monday, went to the bank to take care of last minute bankery, bought some fresh flowers to welcome my room lessee, and then turned my car over to the lovely Amelia to drive me to the airport. While I was waiting, I noticed a group of people at my gate, and they had a familiar feel to them. I didn’t recognize any of them individually, but something about their casual stylishness, their easy camaraderie, and their gregarious chatter I recognized. I hypothesized to myself that they...
