Hugh Hughes, the man himself! Hurrah!

And we're off! Hugh Hughes had a fantastic opening night. I was in Pleasance Two just before the show began. When Hugh opened the door to greet his audience, I heard the man at the front of the queue shout, "Hugh Hughes, the man himself! Hurrah!" And things just got better from there...

Flyering yesterday was fun. It's always great to be out and about, talking to people about the show. Lots of people had seen Hugh's shows before and were delighted that he was back. And we also had lots of new converts. Several people grabbed me on the way out to say how much they'd enjoyed the show and how glad they were to have been pestered by our flyering team!

Yesterday also marked a step further into the online era for Hoipolloi. Last night, Hugh asked an audience member named Charlie to help him with part of the performance. And after the show, Charlie contacted us via Twitter to say how much he'd enjoyed it! This has always been our ambition: a two-way conversation with our audiences. And although Hugh's had plenty of email from fans before, I think this was his first tweet!
