I'm off to Edinburgh tonight - who's good to try and see?

Otherwise, I'm afraid I've no idea who's on

*fives*
Cavy - sorry, not been to anything yet, too busy with work. Off to Sarah Millican next week, that's the only thing I've booked. I'll probably have a wander round on friday afternoon but that's a bit late for recommendations since you'll already be here.

ah, I've booked nothing so I expect I'll just see whatever
has tickets left and/or free. I expect I'll end up seeing some pretty bad theatre, but I can handle that

If it's a simple question of "who's good at stand-up?"
I have no recommendations other than the blindingly obvious, but if Mark Thomas is there I'd pop along

I was offered tickets for him tonight
but couldn't really spare the time. Most of the good standups will be sold out now though, it's a matter of word of mouth or taking a punt on something.

Paul McCaffrey.
I've known him since we were about 13 and part of his act is about a cruel lie I made up about him in 1991 which still causes him trouble today.

Not going
Elaborate

(I'm actually going to take this recommendation seriously as I'm a huge ran of the writings of your friend Andy Zaltzman)

I do indeed.
He's a lovely chap. Used to work with an ex of mine. I've enjoyed some cracking dinners at his house in Brixton. Not seen him for some time, mind.

I told everyone that he I found him crying at a rave when Everybody's Free by Rozalla was playing.
Crying, with his hands in the air. This was and still is completely untrue in any way.

That's disappointingly rape- and child abuse-free
