Tony Cowards
On August 2nd comedian Tony Cowards was involved in a shocking incident on the way home from a gig when a young man who wanted to end his life jumped out in the road in front of Cowards' car.
Luckily Cowards is a careful driver and the young lad is going to make a full recovery.
The split of electro duo Daft Punk prompted a nostalgic anecdote on social media about a past Edinburgh Fringe show from comedian Tony Cowards.
This year's Fringe was easily the toughest of the six I've performed at.
If I'm totally honest I went up slightly underprepared, my show was a bit of a mishmash with new bits cobbled together with some older bits from other shows.
The rise of the pun comedian has been one of the interesting developments in stand-up in recent years. Tim Vine no longer has the field to himself, there is even a UK Pun Championship to find the country’s best wordplay wizard.
But they all - even Vine - suffer from the same issue. How do you turn an art form that is best suited to lollipop sticks and Twitter into a one hour show? Even Tim Vine warns his audience five minutes in that there is another 55 minutes of the same thing coming up.
