#5: Greedy and The Pros from Dover at the Udderbelly

#5: Greedy and The Pros from Dover at the Udderbelly [22:18m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (252)The Udderbelly is a big, blue, up-side-down cow that tours the country attending various festivals including our very own Brighton Fringe Festival. I had the pleasure of sitting in the Udderbelly bar (actually a tent) and chatting with two comedy sketch teams who were playing there, Greedy (Louie Bayliss, Felicity Wren, Rachel Egan, Alan Freestone and James Wren) and The Pros from Dover (Neil Cole, Phil Whelans and Richard Glover).
Learn all about bowel gas problems, accidents that only rich people can have and what it’s like to be kissed on the head by Jodie Kidd, what Rick Mayall is really like and how to succeed in cow tipping.

#3: Queens Park - May Day in Albion
Posted by Andy White on 09 May 2007 | Tagged as: queens park, theatre, music, dance
On the first Sunday every May, Queens Park in Brighton becomes host to a bunch of May Day celebrations from green-clad nymphettes doing fertility dances around a maypole, to live theatre, to folk bands. Despite cool, grey skies, there was plenty happening - I’m glad I went!

Bloodstone Arts

#2: Fringe City
Posted by Andy White on 07 May 2007 | Tagged as: brighton fringe festival
With mike in hand, I venture into Jubilee Square to capture the essence of Fringe City. I meet a man wearing a judge’s wig, a man with giant cardboard ears and a man making funny sounds with a guitar, a laptop and lots of wires. I also meet lots of lovely people who promise to review the performances they see during the festival - horah!
