The No Show

The Fame Doctor is blighted.  I have tried to catch the new kids on The One Show but every attempt has been thwarted.  Up at the Edinburgh Fringe, I was actually in my hotel room for their debut, but the super sophisticated screen at "Le Monde" Hotel had trouble with BBC1.  As with the real world, Le Monde is a bit tired and in need of a refurb.  Edinburgh offered more joy.  Nick Mohammed a hilarious charmer with the gift of extraordinary memory, John Bishop self deprecating true Brit wit and Bo Burnham too young, too talented and way too fast for me!  All definitely ones to watch.  Oh and Emo Phillips back at the fringe after a nine year absence is as funny and weird as ever. The Pleasance staging of  Soho Storeys had improved immeasurably since the review in the link, but Fame Doctor agrees that the Russian tailors were outstanding, particularly the handsome dark one!  Who he?  Back in gloomy London ready to catch Monday night's Sky+'d offering of The One Show....still no show.  Sky+ had been overloaded by the autotuned X Factor and too many Location, Location, Locations - just the title occupies 1%.  Anyhow, tonight is the night.  I will watch Alex Jones and Jason Manford by hook or by crook but if anyone has an already formed opinion, it would be good to know.  Subject to technological interference, FD will report back tomorrow.
