oh and ALAN CARR so's i can throw a poop at him

numbering only 24. The rest of the performances i either have a distaste for, or have never heard of.

Which acts, that remain, should i check out?
Are you going? Who do you look forward to seeing?

I usually take the opportunity to catch as many unknown (to me) performances as i can, but any recommendations to steer me in the right direction (towards anything new and amazing!) would be appreciated

Oh and feel free to talk about your plans for the weekend, if you are attending.

really, no one's going?

― Slumpman (Slump Man), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 10:34 (nineteen years ago)

is that Lee Herring as opposed to Lee AND Herring?

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 10:48 (nineteen years ago)

er, actually it's Stewart Lee. I don't think Lee Herring exists...oop

Duels are worth a sneaky look!

lee herring is probably a band.

The Soulwax Nite Versions/Vitalic/2ManyDJs thing sounds exciting.

Vitalic was great. I still don't know what that thing he plays near the start is though - it's like Juliet India but the voice is less treated and it's not quite the same progression before the big Kick comes in. Do help.

S Lee pretty funny despite old material, Fall pretty great despite just bashing out hypnotic drone noise for 40 minutes with no concession to festival timeslot.
