But whether his face is literally beamed onto its stages or not, Edinburgh will always be his playground and I’ll always find playing in it both deeply painful and a way of connecting with someone who has left a big hole in my life.

Alfie Brown’s new show (OPEN HEARTED HUMAN ENQUIRY) both offer clear evidence of his unique talent, his technically precise direction of comic beats, his pursuit of uncompromising integrity, his disdain for all the bullshit. Both pieces were brilliant and both ruined me.

Finally, Edinburgh is, for me, inextricably linked to the work, energy, influence, humour and anarchy of my dear dear friend Adam Brace, who died last year. It’s testament to him that pieces as tonally and artistically disparate as @shittheatre (OR WHAT'S LEFT OF US) and

Jack Lowden is spectacular in David Ireland’s new play THE FIFTH STAGE @NTSonline @edintfest, with all of David’s usual darkly comic precision and daring. REVENGE: @AfterTheLevoyah about an attempted assassination of Jeremy Corbin is also v funny with two brilliant performances.

Also found LONG RUN by @KatieArnstein very moving and powerful. With cancer a major part of my family life over the last year, it was cathartic to take in such an original perspective on that ‘journey’. And there’s a banging coup de theatre halfway through.

My other absolute highlight of the Fringe was the utter genius that is @natdogkatdog in WEER @Traverse. I laughed til I cried - one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. Surely cementing her status as one of the great clowns.

Another wonderful @edfringe. Firstly, an absolute pleasure to be producing the joyous sensation that is @houseoflife4u. Such a riot for @_tiltedco to be involved with a show that is filling sell-out crowds with genuine euphoria every night. Watch this space for future roll-out!

New episode of @uncannypodlive dropping tonight stateside, rehearsals for next tour of @uncannypodlive start tomorrow, and @itfc 1 point for the @premierleague. It's all too much.

Some of these @OlivierAwards noms making me very happy. Beth Steel and Tom Basden, two of our very early @_HighTide_ writers back in the day and both excellent humans. And the wonderful Haydn Gwynne receiving a posthumous nomination. She is so missed.

Come work with me!

FOUR STARS for @AMirrorWestEnd in @thetimes. 'Miller, innocent yet powerful, vulnerable yet vicious as a man trying to add sparkle to the status quo, has never been better'. https://t.co/2g359lc61F

Excited to be a finalist for our stage show MAMA TOLD ME NOT TO COME. It would be rude not to resurrect it, wouldn’t it? @RubinaPabani @Poppy_Jay_ @MrSamHodges @_tiltedco
