WHO WANT TO PERFORM AT
If you want to perform at ONE MAN AND HIS FROG
It's a one man show, and I'm it. Moron.
If you want to perform at THE FREE PREVIEW SHOW
This show will want a mixture of all types of show; please
read the description on the previous page. We will be booking this in
15 minute slots, trying to balance it so that there's contrast between
neighbouring shows.
We welcome all types of show and act on this one, and encourage you to make contact,
but please note this in advance.
There are almost no technical facilities; lighting cues are impossible
and if you want sound cues you will have to do them yourself,
from the PA amp which will be behind a curtain next to the stage.
There will be cassette input; there may be CD, but anything depending on
very precise tech-ing will almost certainly fail.
The stage itself is small, but there is a large non-raised
open area at the front. We are currently negotiating for a piano.
We've now got one, by the subtle negotiating tactic of buying one.
It's a Yamaha P80, and it does harpsichord and strings as well.
Any other instruments you'll have to bring. In other words, we're
not geared up for any complex staging. There are no changing rooms, but the
toilets are next door to the performance venue. Sorry, no wheelchair access.
You're welcome to leaflet the audience during and after your slot. But Lizzie won't
do it for you; she has enough to do organising and compering.
If you're interested, Lizzie Wynn is booking the show. She'll be working about 3 or 4 days in advance.
The best thing is to ring her from late July onwards. Email Peter
to get her contact details.
If you want to perform at PETER BUCKLEY HILL AND SOME COMEDIANS
If you want an open or tryout spot, please
stop reading here. There are no open spots at this show.
If I haven't seen you, I won't put you on. I aim for the highest possible
quality in the show, and the Edinburgh public are very demanding,
even if they haven't paid to come in. So, if I haven't seen you, please don't
ask. And, if anybody whom I don't know telephones me DURING THE SHOW ITSELF (as, incredibly,
more than one person did in 1999) they'll learn the true meaning of the phrase 'a
refusal often offends'.
I would like acts who have a solid, proven 15 minutes of material. You don't
all have to be Perrier nominees, but you should be experienced, and I should have seen you (if you're working the cricuit regularly
in paid spots, assume I've seen you; I probably have, even if we haven't actually met.)
Only stand-up comics, please; no excerpts from sketch shows. Sketch shows are welcome
in The Free Preview Show; see above. Sound cues from cassette only, and nothing complicated,
since I'll have to work the cassette player myself.
Check the acts that have appeared at PBHASC in the past by clicking here.
I'll be booking about 4 days in advance of each show. Please email me if you're interested. I'll know many of you.
If you have my telephone number, please call it. I won't be putting names in slots until very late July/early August.
If you're a member of the public reading this page,
you have now had a thrilling voyeuristic insight into the world of Fringe
show organising. This is naughty. Report here for spanking.

But surely, Peter must have recorded
something? Don't you hate websites that put questions in your mouth
like that? Click here for details of the
