Day three, we’ve made it to day three, that’s exciting! It was a slower day today, only two shows but they were both big names.
We kick off with Kevin Eldon titting about. He really does tit about, right there on stage, pulling half a dozen characters out of the bag throughout. Paul Hamilton (Kevin’s poet alter-ego) opens the stage with unique rhyming style before introducing Kevin proper. Kevin sings, dances and acts, all the time with utter brilliance, his song about skipping CDs a particular highlight.
A walk up to Arthur’s Seat served as the meat in our comedy sandwich, all 251 metres of it. Exhausting but pretty.
The second big name was Greg Davies with his show all about those beautiful ‘you had to be there’ moments in life. Titled ‘Firing Cheeseballs at a Dog’ Greg tells us about his life: from year zero, through his days as a drama teacher, to his recent holiday tormenting a Spanish dog. There are some roaring laughs in the show, particularly during the retelling of some of his encounters as a teacher. It’s a great theme, very uplifting, and ties together Greg’s life story nicely.
An Oban 14 year was the choice of the spirits shelf tonight: a creamy palette with notes of toffee and burnt caramel, like a creme brûlée in a glass.
