This week we are going to war! General Jones leads you, his glorious battalion over the top and across no-man's-land, before turning around and unleashing awful death back on his own loyal troops. I keep singing that Wagner song 'The Valkyrie' ('Ride of The Valkyrie'?) and am in an imperial mood. If you can make it through this one, I reckon you're a true fan. Music by Rhysics at the end as a treat if you do!

Best one I've recorded in ages I reckon! Such a good time recording the podcast this week, and such a fun week to talk about. Also, thankyou to the 110 people who listened to last weeks episode, marking the first time EVER that the podcast has cracked 100 listeners in the first week. Five years in and we are GETTING IT BABY!! Genuinely though, so psyched. Love yas!

Feeling shitty again, carrying around a whole bucketload of feelings and trying to find somewhere to put them. I've had a wonderful few days in the South West of WA - I met some really cool people, saw some beautiful country, did a fantastic show in Albany! Why the fuck do I feel so scattered? God damn it.

In the last week I've had a cancelled gig cost me $200, got told off by a lady in the park, and had my Saturday plans slip through my fingers like dry sand. Sometimes it's really important to acknowledge when you've had a bad time, or been in a bad mood, because the moment you acknowledge it is the moment you're able to start going through the feelings and heading towards something better. Yeah, that'll do.

I was going to call this episode 'Shaved', because I shaved my head this week, but instead I'm calling it 'What The Fuck', because that is how I feel after recording this. All over the place! Honestly I'm sure it isn't as bad as it felt while I was recording, it never is, but still, what a strange experience. Bombing on your own solo podcast. Good stuff!

I landed back in Melbourne at 8:30pm, Monday night. Recorded this week's pod after a full day back in town, feeling great, love being home. Travel is great, and I do want to move back to Europe at some stage, but right now I'm so glad to be home.

This week I've been to York, Amsterdam, and am now in Paris. I recorded the pod from a bench in the middle of this beautiful cemetery near my friend's house. There were mosquitoes, and groundsmen kept wandering past me while I recorded. Also an old couple with a pram. Incredibly distracting! And a shame because I have a lot of very serious and important things to say about art, music and the human condition. These horrid little bugs have robbed us of my wonderful insights.

My friend sent me a Guardian article about how the Fringe needs to be shorter, and like bull charging towards a square of red hanky I read it. Different people have different experiences of the Fringe, and everyone has their own idea of what they'd like to get out of it. Clearly I needed to get some of my emotions out, because I absolutely went off on one here, before heaving and ho-ing my way back to some sort of sensible discussion of the last week of the Fringe which was, for the record, one of the most exciting weeks of comedy I've ever done!

The Fringe is still happening! We're into the last week, and I'm breaking apart at the seams. About half an hour ago I did a spot on a show and just spoke about how tired I am. I asked if anyone had cried recently, and this girl told me she's going back to Jordan in two weeks and she's really scared, and her boyfriend was there and he's not going back with her. I told them a story from my life. It was beautiful. By this time next week, it'll all be over.

The time-distorting power of the Fringe has got me forgetting what things have happened when. I've been telling this new story on stage for what seems like months now, but I realised a few minutes into the pod that it only happened on like Tuesday night, so I hadn't told it on here yet. Insane. I'm having the time of my life out here, let me tell you.
