The following clips have been up on YouTube for a little while but I didn’t post them here at the request of the director. However, it’s now been long enough and with the play itself preparing to re-launch for Edinburgh 2010, I wanted to give you a taste of what it was like for those who made it to the Union Theatre as we transported them back to July 2005…

This clip features Susanna Fiore and myself in my favourite scene from the play (mainly because I get to act like the office jackass):

This is a great scene between two fantastic actors: Charlotte ‘Lottie’ Flintham and Benjamin Peters. Lottie’s character (George) is the office new girl, trying to get on in journalism. Ben’s character (James) is the editor of the newspaper and wants the new girl to ‘keep an eye’ on her colleagues for him…

At the end of last week, I co-wrote and recorded a voiceover for my friend John’s new magic show that you can see playing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

John wanted a big American movie-style intro to the show, to juxtapose with the low-key opening of the show (for maximum comic effect!) so we wrote a show and recorded it at Resonance FM’s studios.

I should tell you what the show is. It’s called Pifftacular and stars John as Piff The Magic Dragon – a wonderfully grumpy and very magical dragon who likes card magic and kidnapping princesses.

Check out Piff’s site for more info and go and see the show to hear my dulcet tones as a brash American voiceover guy (and enjoy some great magic and princess kidnapping).
