I'm sitting at a desk in the large bay window of the master bedroom of the flat where I'm staying during the Edinburgh Fringe. I feel like a proper artist. I'd like to be performing more now. But instead today I'll be volunteering at the Forest Fringe and see some friends from Bristol's shows this evening.

It has been an emotional day, with no less than three appearances on the Forest Fringe stage. First trying out material for my brand new show: The Middle Bit (working title). This went well, but I didn´t strike the right tone and it felt a little hashed and false. There were some good turns from Mamuru Iriguchi, who i have mentioned before in my worst nightmare awards, a choreographer/dancer whose name i shall ammend to this post and The team.

It has been a tio of triumphs so far and a another potential hat-trick of wonder to come. All the mini 1 to 1 shows have gone brilliantly, from the sneaky to the down right athletic in The Face Game, on to the unrelentingly abstact clown/oracle/spaceman wonders of The First Thing, and finally the joy and wonder of giving people free reign in Your Turn.

Tomorrpw will be a massive day for me, i'll be performing 3 time first a scratch of the middle bit, then a showing of 10 ways to Die on Stage, then following the feedback from the scratch an improved version of the middle bit.

After a nine hour train journey thanks to slightly damp tracks just outside Edinburgh I arrived at the flat that i'll be sharing with some of the other performers from the Forest Fringe. Fellow Bristolians and Residence members action hero are here too, they've just finished their little run and i'm just about to start mine tonight. Already I have seen the excellent Paper Cinema and a funny/blokey stand up gig by Daniel Kitson and friends.

Since 2006 I have been based in Bristol, making websites using the Drupal.org content management system, it is a powerful and flexible tool for making all kinds of websites, from simple professional blogs to e-commerce and beyond.

I have been working as a performer and actor since 2005, it's what I always wanted to do, I love performing my own work and acting in other people's shows.

Most of my work has been on stage and now I am looking to get more experience of working in TV, Radio and Film.

I'm always open to new projects and collaborations, so get in touch if you want to work with me, I am based in Bristol, UK, and I'm happy to travel.

If you want to give up the job you hate to concentrate on the work love, you don't mind financial hardship, but you want to get by without going on the dole, then this guide is for you.

I've just got a new computer and it's only 4-5 years old so it rocks! I'm running ubuntu on it and i've been tweaking the compiz setting to do cool stuff with the desktop, getting that mac like functionality. The results:

The Lastmaker: Photo by Goat Island

What happens when you spend three consecutive nights in the company of a group like Goat Island, for the first two watching their last show and on the last attending their goodbye from which you must say goodbye for a time to make a call to say goodbye for a long time only to return to find that someone is saying goodbye from the stage to some who is dead and this fits so painfully perfectly that your heart aches, is shot through, then sings and you cry?
