Ah yes, sorry, the turnaround between shows at The Underbelly was pretty rapid, had to clean away before the next show could start. Thanks for coming, glad you enjoyed it!

>I came along to the first Edinburgh show and thoroughly enjoyed it – though I probably stretched a neck muscle or two craning to see what all the records on the floor were! Thought about coming up to chat afterwards but you seemed to be timebound in clearing up the records before your next performance!

>I can help you with those details, cos it's my show. Here's brief outline:
> 
>John Peel's Shed is a show about records and radio, based on a box of records I won in a competition in 2002 on John Peel's Radio 1 show. The show features a few of the records in that collection, as well as me talking about John Peel, about radio and about music. The show sold out at Edinburgh this year, receiving five star reviews in The Independent and The Scotsman.
> 
>Radio 4 are broadcasting a half hour version of John Peel's Shed. It's being recorded at the Radio Theatre, Broadcasting House on 8th Nov. To be aired (provisionally) Weds 21st Dec at 11 am.
> 
>The show begins its London run at Jacksons Lane Theatre, Highgate, 25th-29th October, 8 pm. Book tickets here  http://www.johnpeelsshed.com/
>If you're a Peel fan and live in London would love you to come along, see the show, look at the records, have a beer and hang out afterwards. In Feb and March I am taking the show on a tour across the UK. 
> 
>Here's some reviews.

>“One of the Top Ten Theatre Highlights of the Edinburgh Festival… Funny, perceptive and charming” – ★★★★ The Telegraph
>“One of the loveliest things you’ll see all year” – ★★★★ The Herald
