Deeply splendid fun was had at the Leicester Comedy Festival, with a sold-out performance of Holmes and Watson – thanks to all who came and filled the Belmont Hotel with human bodies and laughter! The return to London was a post-apocalyptic hellride through a snowbound wilderness – Ivan’s remarkably accurate driving was all that kept us alive (thankfully he’s recently given up drink-driving, on a bet).
