Latest KKK Blog – Stars Over Edinburgh
The Edinburgh Fringe Festival has made me obsessed with stars. Not the famous kind. Although there are famous stars as part of the festival, Margaret Cho, Henry Rollins, Michael “That Dude From The Police Academy Movies Who Makes Crazy Sounds With His Mouth” Winslow, Al Murray The Pub Landlord. (He’s super famous here.) I also don’t mean the stars in the night time sky. Especially since it doesn’t get dark until after 9pm … which is awesome.
I’m talking the kind of stars reviewers give to shows. One thing I’ve learned in my first week at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is that it’s all about stars! Preferably lots and lots of them, like a hotel in Dubai.
So many posters here — I’ve never seen so many posters in all my life — are littered with stars proving each show is the most awesomest of any show. I came up to the Fringe with no poster stars at all. All I had was a quote from some regional American publication. And my quote withers next to these…
Interview with The Scotsman
Seriously Kamau?
I did an interview with The Scotsman’s Chitra Ramaswamy. It is one of the most fun interviews I’ve had in a long time. And it features one of my favorite quotes I’ve ever said.
I think I like this interview so much because she took everything I said and then re-calibrated it make it more British-y, which makes me sound more intelligent to me… because I’m a self-hating American.
