( my mind all over the place !! too much barking at sea gulls !!) i have been watching 5star briliant shows as well ! i have been to see amazin viv groskop at the stand ,her show is all about apologisin to ladies and how her daughter makes bus journeys very interestin !! it is certainly 5star show ! also i have seen briliant beth vyse at the hive , she doin heart warming confesional show about cancer but with exelent sureal twist !! it is a 5star must see ! and so is david mills at voodoo rooms ,he not just a funny man ,he is tryin to change peoples lives with his briliant philosophies and truths ! 5stars to him . milo mccabe is also amazin !! he got two shows ,one of them is about murderin phil collins ,the other one is introducing his friend the briliant 5star fop man troy hawke !! be careful you go to right place though ! milo is one of people afected by cowgateheadgate tragedy ,he not where it says in programe !he is at counting house and jekyll and hyde . final 5star show is sooz kempner ,though she only apears as a video screen for whole show ,but does introductions to four other women .i dont realy know who they were but they all briliant 5star people !! i think this goin to be the best edimbrugh ever !!! love from fringe dog

today ,i would like to talk about james acaster and massive dad ,who is doing there shows tonight in a room in caledonian road called “the comedy room” . i wonder what happens in there ??? ha ha ! this is my little joke . obviously it is comedy. so you can see james acaster ,his new show is made entirely out of quotes from the dalai lama !! dont know how that will work ,but he could make reading from a phone book funny ,so i am sure it will !! also massive dad  are doing theyre 2.0 show ,which is like an app update but instead it is a show ! it very ingenous ,they are extremely funny and talented !

if you are busy tonight ,why not instead go tomorrow to see 5star briliants jody kamali and anna morris at venue 28 in beckenham !! it a bit of a long way to go ,but the venue is so cool it do not even have a name ,just a number ...o boy it is like the edimbrugh fringe already !! so jody is doin a spectacular with feats of amazingnessness ,that can only be amazin surely !! and even more exiting ,anna morris has agreed to marry absolutly everyone in the audience of her show !! that is an oportunity that cannot be missed ,your chance to get married to a 5star briliant comedian !! go and see both of them tomorrow !!

some more pick on the days from exelent 5star amazings !!

hallo to you fringe dog blog readers !!

i am here with another top tip pick-on-the-day for briliant 5star comedy preview shows to see in london !! now every body is puttin on the finishin touches to their 5star shows ,so it almost definitely a guarantee that they will be even more briliant than they were a few weeks ago !!

today if you go to the wenlock and essex in islington ,you can see amazin 5star sketch group kitten killers doin their new show ! ( i cannot condone the murder of cats ,because as we know from cross-species youtube videos ,dogs and cats can be friends ! though the dogs tend to be a bit more into it than the cats )they have a song about walkin about with jizz on your leg ,it a bit rude but they are still briliant funny women !! you go and see them ! also on the same bill ,you can see james hamilton on as well ,i do not know him personaly but i am sure he will be exelent !!

alternatively ,if you are in camden ,you can go to the camden head and see 3 of the most briliant 5star weirdos together for free !! it is joz norris ,mark stephenson and stuart laws !! what an amazin line up of briliant comedy men !! joz norris has been makin a list of the top 155 shows to see at the edimbrugh fringe - this is very briliant idea ,but i hope he extends the list because he has not included all of the other briliant 5star shows !!

i myself have been previewin very hard ,every day !! my show is promenade theatre piece called “sniffin a drain” ,the follow up to last years “lickin a bin” , so i can preview it every time i go for a walk !! i would like to do more previewin ,but my owners only take me out once a day (they do the tech for my show!!) so that is all i can do !! o boy ,i hope it ready in time !!
