That's the kind of the thing that I wanted to talk about, though, was this seems like there's a sort of built-in minimum threshold of indignity that you have to deal with for doing the fringe.

So I just wanted to talk about that.

In some cases, it's higher than others.

Give me, give me your fringe indignity reservoir stories.

Well, that's fun, you know, I suppose it's fun.

Yeah, you're right that it's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's like a business model thing happened five years ago.

Yeah.

Where there was a way, if you were like a cool act that could get into one of these

almost like lifeboats that monkey barrel operate where it's these rooms with a fair thing with a fair business

model it's like huh you won't have to pay the pleasance anymore and lose four thousand pounds

of the pleasance but what you will have to do is stand after your show with a bucket like

specifically saying give me money so it means you can get money that that's like the monkey poor

thing where it's like you're you've got you've got the euphoria

of when a show ends and then immediately there's either just before the show ends or while

the show ends you go please give me money and then stand with a bucket which is I quite enjoy

I quite enjoy that process and it's really nice like just chatting to the audience off the show

yeah because it's not it's not, but it's not, it's not

Wembley. Like, it's not. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I always get like, you know, on the way out,

like at least like one like old couple who are just giving me like thousand yards stares on

the way out and don't put any money in the bucket. Oh, man. You can just tell they hated it. Yeah, that is the one because I think, and it's only

happened once this, I think the worst thing about a bucket speech is you kind of have to do it
