What Most Impulse.

Hello and welcome to this week's episode of what most people think and I'm going to jump

straight into this week's guest, a firm favourite among the what most people think faithful. Simon Evans returning to the show. And I think for the third

week running, we've got a comedian who is at the Edinburgh Fringe. So Simon, can you report

for us, boots on the ground? What are the big subjects this year? Is it still ADHD and non-binaryness?

Or have we moved on? Well, funny thing is, I am at the fringe technically, but my venue is right down the end of the bottom of the Royal Mile. I live in a house near the playhouse. There's a little pathway across Counten Hill that I can get to it and back again without interacting with the rest of the fringe at all. So I barely see anything of it. I see all the posters up. They are still very much, you know, the burn-esque or stripping for ugly people, as I call it. Stripping with A-levels, I've heard it referred to. It is still predominant. And I mean, there's probably a lot of great comedy going on here, but I'm slightly out of the loop a little bit, I think.

There is a new joke of the Fringe Award has been offered this morning.

And actually, I get it, at least. It's a joke that works. So that's some improvement. Yeah, yeah, it's interesting. You say that. I actually looked at the top 10 this year. And I thought, I don't think the public had gone into

quite as open revolt as usual.

I remember last year, it hit the headline news,

how bad the joke was.

I think it hit the headline

news how bad the joke was. I think it was the second story on ITN and Tom Bradbury. I look particularly concerned. It was the one about the cheaters. My wife, I had an affair with the bloke at the zoo, but he turned out to be a cheater or something. I think it was deliberately bad. I think it was one of those meta jokes, a sort of, you know, Boaty McBokeface kind of joke, but it was still

a lot that it had been voted for by people who hadn't actually been at the show. By the way, just Moatby and Moathease, where did you stand on that? I found it quite aggravating at the time. I thought it sort of said to me that I probably wouldn't socialise with the person that found that funny.

Is that too harsh?

I don't know.

It's a move both. I thought it sort of said to me that I probably wouldn't socialise with the person that

found that funny. Is that too harsh? I don't know.

It's a book place for the Antarctic submarine or whatever it was or the shit.

It was kind of like the same people that seem to think co-vidiots was a really good pun.

I just thought it's clunky and didn't really work.
