Truro, Scunthorpe, Barnsley

Day 11 - Truro The Braintree show is hard work, easily my least pleasant of the tour so far and feels like going through the motions to get a response. After an overnight stop in Reading (the hotel room has a microwave - result!) we motor on to Truro. Truro seems to be pretty laid […]

Chesham, Norwich, Braintree

Day 7 - Chesham The Ark show in Borehamwood went well, and then on to Chesham to the Elgiva theatre, it's a pleasant place with a new coat of paint. Their panto posters adorn the backstage walls and I'm keen enough to spot that in 1998 the under-rated ex-Doctor Who producer John Nathan-Turner directed Aladdin - which […]

Edinburgh Day 3 and 4

I was nervous as it was the first day of my show in Edinburgh and I wanted everything to be right. I have made some placards and covered them with book-cover-film to keep the rain off. They look proper good. At the show there were hiccups of a technical nature. The little telly I had […]

Edinburgh Day 2

I bought a new biro for 45p, then another better rollerball pen for a pound. I was meeting the publicity man and wanted to look professional. At the meeting we both had a cup of tea and the waitress brought it in a pot, so I decided to take charge and be mother. On the evening there […]

Day 1 - Arrived in Edinburgh

I have arrived in Edinburgh. On the way up the M6 I stopped off at Westmoorland farm shop to get a galloway mince pie and beef growler. The room I am staying in is a child's bedroom. There is a large woolly parrot in the corner and a bookshelf with the high school musical annual […]

FringeGuru Review

The FringeGuru has reviewed my show, this is what they said: Danny Pensive's Map of Britain - Danny Pensive is a loveable and comic character, and a delightful guide on this idiosyncratic journey across Great Britain. Brimming with childlike curiosity and off-beat insights an hour in his company is one well-spent. Stopping off in Buxton […]
