Great spin off show. I’ve been listening to you both so much recently that you featured in my dream.
You were both sat on a bench in an art gallery admiring some artwork, i recognised you from the back so i sneaked up and whispered ‘oooh how the other half live’
#truestory
Brilliantly honest, with great semi-structured camaraderie throughout. Really enjoyable.
This podcast is terrific, really captures The Fringe atmosphere and experience, warts and all; told by 2 of the hardest workers in the biz. Sadly couldn’t make it to Edinburgh this year but this makes it feel like I’m there.
I love the daily podcast…. We went to the fringe on the 1st weekend and saw both Danny (we were one of 8 people on the Saturday) and Mark… and even got a mention on podcast 🥰 like it as I can keep up on how the shows are doing but also very funny if not been to either shows, listen to it!
This daily fringe talk show has been very enjoyable, some great guests as well as the puns and klangs. It’s veering into the two men loosing their minds territory but considering where they are and performing everyday, that’s all part of the fun of it. I don’t listen to many podcasts, but this is one on the notifications list. Look forward to seeing you both again in July next year as well.
