Knightmare Live - Edinburgh - August 2013

Cliff Barry has responded to this on Twitter. Maybe they could get him involved while he's there?!

The website is now up and running at:

The Knightmare Facebook page's recent status update about Knightmare Live appears to be missing a word or two, leaving something to the imagination.
The word 'presents' at the start of the status update could lead people to believe that Knightmare Live is affiliated to Knightmare.com, or to Knightmare itself, i.e. the makers of the TV series. As far as I know, neither is true (much as we support them!).
-
With regards to future status updates on the Knightmare Facebook page, I'm guessing that "recommends" would be more appropriate than "presents" should the need for such terminology arise once again.
As for wording and grammar, each status update is thoroughly double checked before being posted live (it will be seen by thousands, after all), but I guess there'll always be one or two that will still slip through the net....

Here's a screencap of the Knightmare Live entry in the Fringe programme:

Would love to see this, but don't think I'd be able to go to the Edinburgh Festival.
-
I think I have an offer of a free ticket somewhere
But I'll be going anyway, since I'll be up in Edinburgh at the time.
-
Indeed.
And with me apparently having been only 8 when I won, maybe people will be more forgiving about the shortcut.
Even though it seems to have also aged me by a year

I have, of course, sent a correction to the Scotsman.

Hi guys,
Thought I'd give you an update as to how things are progressing here in Edinburgh.
Knightmare fever has hit the comedy community. Geeky stand-ups are begging me for the chance to play the show (which is perfect as it's their enthusiasm that translates so well to the audience).
We've had a few palid reviews (to be expected) but we've also had some marvelous ones;
4 stars from
Scotsman
Independent
Den of Geek
Broadway Baby
Informed Edinburgh
And more on the way.
We've had to add an extra show and are selling out consistently... Also I met Ted from scrubs, he really wants to see it!
On Sep 27th we're taking the show to the Bloomsbury Theatre (Eek, it's massive!) and tickets can be found here;

Thanks to everyone who came to the preview and for the amazing write up you did. The show's become a lot more slick and we've replaced the IOU's with real props. Hope to see you all again soon

Hi Paul
It's great to hear Knightmare Live is going so well and that your getting good reviews! Also good to hear you've been selling out shows and have had to add an extra one at the Bloomsbury Theatre! Good luck for this show.
Keep up the good work and I really hope you can take it on tour one day, that would be cool!
-
I regret to say that the write up is not yet published. It will be tomorrow probably.

Thanks for dropping by again, Paul, in this unprecedented week of new Knightmare, old Knightmare and live Knightmare. Hope you're not too exhausted!
The Preview 2 review has been longer in the pipeline than originally intended, for various reasons. But part of its aim was to get Knightmare Live the recognition it deserved ahead of the Edinburgh run, and fortunately that happened anyway, thanks to the BBC.
I've been to the Bloomsbury Theatre. (Theatre, by the way, is from the Ancient Greek word for watchers.) Unlike a rescue goblin with a club, it is far from pokey. When it is filled with Knightmare fans and Lord Fear's ego, the atmosphere will be fantastic.
