People prefer Photos to words…so here are the photos of Day 20
You say…
I am a softy,
Cause i love life..
i am a softy cause you say so,
i am a softy cause i spot,
i feel, i cry, i scream,
i enjoy, i am passioned.
I’m one of the good ones,
i am alright,
you make it sound bad,
that is NOT right.
Keep your head up,
keep the game up,
don’t pause, don’t stop,
just breeze.
I’m just someone who loves life,
There are no rule, no limits,
no love can be to high,
bright, wild.. in the real world.
we are used to love quietly,
we are used to people around us who only love themselves.
Hollywood should be just a tiny bit more like Bollywood.
when the feeling gets to big,
don’t pull the trigger, just start to sing.
stop kicking around, use your feet to make a rhythmic sound.
You don’t need to dress up like a christmas tree, but you should let others be wild and free
peace

Day 19: Edinburgh Fringe Festival…Just Photos
Review : Karl Spain A Time For Jokes *****
Karl Spain ***** 5 Stars
Gilded Balloon 16.15
It’s rare that a well-known comedian refers to me as Rochie, but after this festival I can happily that myself and Karl will remain friends. He lives about three kilometers from my parents house in Limerick/Clare but we had oddly never met before this.
I knew he does the Dolan’s circuit etc and I really enjoy him on the panel shows etc but comedy isn’t really my thing so I rarely go to gigs. Tommy Tiernan was my last gig in UL about 10 years ago I’d say.
Karl was on stage when we arrived, welcoming the audience with a happy smile. Seemingly he’d also been outside flyering pre-show (He does it for the craic, not because he needs it) so one can tell that he loves his job and is honoured to be able to grace the stage and tell a few jokes as his job.
He is a seasoned professional and it comes across thoroughly in his performance.
He can tell jokes about any subject. He is intellectually stimulated by the news and sport and has a sharp, almost improv like mind so he fires back retorts without even thinking about them.
He called my bird a prostitute for the entire show…and that’s always funny!
Speaking to him in Gilded Balloon’s Loft after the show, he recalled how he used to tell jokes to his Mum when she was sick with Parkinson’s. He used create characters, like her doctor or a salesman, to try and make her laugh and make her day a bit better when she was ill. It’s a touching show.
I think that’s what I liked about it the most, it’s a terribly honest show.
You can tell immediately if a story-teller is being honest with you, if they are exaggerating or not, or if they remember the details of the occurrence with emotional accuracy. Karl has the gift of the perception of relaxing on stage and making everyone feel welcome into his thought processes.
It is a great show, at 16.15 in Gilded which is a good time for an experienced Edinburgh planner (10pm-12midnight means choices always have to be made).
I would recommend this show fully. He has become one of my favourite comedians now.

Review: Jimeoin Yeehaa *****
Jimeoin – Yeehaa! *****
EICC 19.30
What can I say about this guy that the world doesn’t already know…
He’s such a good guy, I’ve met him three times now and on the second time he put my name down on his guest list for the show. One quick text to his brilliant PR team and I had two free tickets – job done!
The Northern Irish comedian is based in Australia so must relish coming back to the UK to gig.
His show is brilliant, making the audience laugh wholefully on average I’d guess around every six seconds of the hour show. I don’t know many comics that have that ability.
His famous eye-brows or washing machine gags weren’t even used but jokes like ‘I got a new pair of shoes today…outside a mosque…had to rifle through a load of pairs to find the right ones…they were mostly sandals’ cracked me up big time.
His career will continue for as long as he wants it too. He should be an inspiration for many of the younger comedians coming up the ranks.
There’s no cruel or controversial material in his show either which I really like. Kids can happily relate to his show as well as grandparents.
I’d recommend this show a lot. If you have time, it’s on at 19.30 daily in the Edinburgh International Conference Centre. An easy five stars from me…
