Hello, Stue here. This isn't an ad. This is me telling you that you have got to get hold of a copy of Adam Blooms book, Finding Your Comic Genius. It's just so great, and I want everyone to buy it for everyone else for Christmas. We discuss it in detail on episode 437 and at the time of recording this it has 66 five-star reviews out of 66 reviews on Amazon.

So go and find Adam Blooms book, repeat. This is not an ad and I'm not

being remunerated. Or remunerated. I can never get that right. May I have your attention please you can now book your train tickets on Uber and get

10% back in credits to spend on your next Uber ride so you don't have to walk home in the rain again.

Trains now on Uber. T's and C's apply. Check the Uber app. It's very mini I'm afraid so I'm sorry if you rack this up for a long drive. I always do that with bugle episodes and then end up

Realizing that they're only a little brief one, but there we go. Sorry apologies if that's the case

How like Goldsmith to start a mini-pod with an apology?

I'm having a great time in the Edinburgh Festival as you can probably hear from the state of my

voice. I'm throwing myself into it with glee. I've been having some great shows. Thank you to the

pod fans who've been along to that. I really appreciate it. It's really nice to meet you. And as you'll know,

if you've met me, then my second question is always and

are you a comedian and I'm thrilled if you are a comedian but I'm properly thrilled if you're

not and you're basically a proper human that I've managed to interest somehow.

Thank you everyone that's come along to the show.

It is of course extra life at the Pleasant's Courtyard,

and it's at seven o'clock every night.

So if you're in Edinburgh, I would love to see you there do hang around afterwards I'll come out and say hello.

So very much appreciate that. I've had a couple of reviews but as you know I'm not reading them.

I have very successfully managed to not read any

reviews this year apart from one which was in Fringe Pig I urge you all to look at

Fringe Pig I don't know who's doing it it's probably someone we know

but it's all anonymously done reviewing the reviewers and there is a brilliantly awful review a one-star review of Marcel Luccant's show.
