Ouch weblog: individual blog entry

30 Nov 05, 12:00 AM - Abnormally funny TV

Posted by Crippled Monkey

During the summer, Ouch published the diary of Simon Minty, who was part of the Abnormally Funny People show playing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. On TV from this weekend, you can see what 'went down' up there.

The fast-paced documentary follows Minty as he puts together the acts, goes through rehearsals and the 29 nights at one of the world's greatest festivals.

Comedians include: Liz Carr, a sharp-witted stand-up virgin; Steve Day, probably Britain's only deaf comedian, who's been on the comedy circuit for 7 years; Chris McCausland, a blind Scouse comic who's given up his job in telesales to join the show; Tanyalee Davis, a sassy, fast-paced Las Vegas based comic, and finally the token able-bodied guy Steve Best, a veteran stand-up of five Edinburgh Fringes and co-producer of the show along with Simon.

Be sure to tune in to Sky 2 on Saturday 3 December at 11.00pm, Sky 3 on Thursday 15 December at 10,00pm and The Community Channel on Friday 23 December at 10.00pm.

• Look out for Liz Carr, who is beginning a stint as an Ouch columnist from 12 December.
