Week one in Edinburgh - 4 Stars!!

Well, we have finally made it to Auld Reeky (Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, Europe for gods sake) and are doing daily shows in the Famous Spiegeltent. The locals have found our shows amazing, especially when we pull out a genuine UK accent. I think they are laughing because it's so true...

We even did a show about Witch Burning here in Edinburgh (a rather tasteless pastime in the 16th and 17th centuries). We made it moving, funny and not a single witch was even scorched. Thats what Broadway can do, my friends, make history fun and accessible without the unpleasant 'facts' getting in the way.

Saw the most incredible dancers last night, The New Art Club, they were so serious and committed and yet the audience could not stop giggling. Thats one of the risks off doing serious art in a comedy festival, the audience dont know when they are in the presence of genius. These guys are geniuii. Genii. Both are a genius, okay??

And yes, we got a 4 start review!! I wasn't mentioned by name which is a little disappointing, but it's about sharing the glory and we're all so pleased (is 'Chad Bradley' too hard to spell?). Considering the competition in this town right now its frankly astounding we got a review so early at all. So even if I didnt get a little mention by name, singled out or in any way made to feel special, I'm totally cool with that. It's not about me. It's about the business called show.

STandby for the next installment my friends.

I just found out there's a Peace and Spirituality Festival on in Edinburgh in August! How is it possible they will find either in that crazy town in that crazy month?

Chad Loses It - on television!!!

This, my friends, is the most humiliating thing I've ever done! To have to even audition was demeaning, but to lose was beyond horrible.

Scottish accents

Just saw this on youtube; brilliant piece on how to speak authentic Scots. I'm hoping to learn how to speak with a flawless Scottish accent so as to pass for a local while I'm in Edinburgh. Watching Braveheart, Highlander and the Last King of Scotland (that last one's confusing me).

Edinburgh, here we come!!

Yes, it's true - Spontaneous Broadway's going to Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival. We will be doing our stuff at the Speigeltent from Aug 10 to 30, so if you're there, come and see the show!

can't wait, Scotland is so Scottish. tartan. haggis. Glasgow kisses. maybe not in that order.

As Citizen Kane said; "Rosebud"...

Yes, we went down the peninsula and put on a story of epic treks through deep dark woods. Logs, trolls and evil step mothers aplenty,...

Wang!!

We did the Wang and it went off! A Knights tale of love, death and a helpful dragon. have a look...
