I found it a really enjoyable experience, they got it, liked it, found it odd, bizarre, they laughed, cheered, joined in with the lyrics, applauded and I even heard someone say “how’s he doing that”. And best of all, I had fun.

There’s still lots of changes to make, as I haven’t really sold SPB and there’s a little lack of logic to his logic but the first big step has been taken. I’ve made a big decision though, Sloppy Party Bottom will not be my new show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival next year, he won’t be anywhere near ready enough. I need to spend a few years investing time, energy and rehearsals in getting SPB right.

But don’t worry, I’m no one to sit in my laurels, I’ve spent the last few months adapting a novel (one so perfect for my style of writing/direction you’ll wonder why I didn’t do it before) to perform and writing a monologue and duologue, so Moz will be back, just not as SPB… yet.

More soon.
