After months of hard work Montpellier has been rewarded by the good people of Three Weeks with a 5 star review - the highest accolade any Edinburgh performer can receive! He would like to thank all the people which made this possible - his barber, his dietician, his colonic irrigationist, but definitely not his assistant Le Cabaret.
Montpellier shall also be holding another personalised tour of the Royal Mile, tomorrow (Fri 14th Aug) - the last tour finished with an interview on Australia TV and this this one promises something even more amazing! Meet at the West (i.e. top) entrance of St Giles Church on the Royal Mile at 5pm sharp!
In other news - Montpellier has been eating a lot of falafel and highly recommends Tom Basden's show at the Courtyard
The festival has begun!
Three shows in and its hotting up! Last night Montopellier narrated the time he met Anne Boleyn in Germany as a journalist.
In other news - my tours of the Royal Mile have been a roaring sucess (one so far). Passers by flocked to hear Montpellier's words as he described how St Giles Cathedral was made of marshmallow and how a small Scottish boy was over 100 hundred years old! Eventually an Australian TV crew took an interest in him and Montpellier's words will now be beamed half way around the world!

Arrived in Edin!
Well my first trick - travelling from London to Edinburgh - has been a mixed success. I managed to spend two-thirds of the journey in first class before being turfed out, while Le Cabaret was allowed to remain there unmolested!
Today I spent half an hour in Argos looking for extension cords.
And in other news........in a bid to help the ailing Scottish tourist industry, I have agreed to perform a unique, improvised tour of Edinburgh this Sat 8th August 6pm sharp! Meet outside the West Entrance of St. Giles Cathedral (by the upper stage) on the Royal Mile, Edinburgh! It promises to be something special
Henry VI Part 1,2,3,4 – Canadian School Theatre Company ‘Loose Moose’ perform Shakespeare’s history trilogy plus one they wrote themselves
Watership Down – Performed for the first time with real rabbits
Nairobi Dreams – Moving musical combining X-Factor and Africa
Over the Wall – Visionary theatre company ‘Backflip’ re-locate Aesop’s Fables to Palestine.

LE MONTPELLIER
En route to my local Greggs I passed a young newsboy handing out these.
I was flattered and appalled in equal measure.

Swine Flu!
With a hurry not seen since his time in the Crimean War - Monsieur Montpellier is preparing himself for the Edinburgh Festival! Sticky tape, coathangers, bed sheets, charity shops - its shaping up to be one of the most expensive shows on the Fringe!
In other news - Montpellier has just invented a cure for swine flu but is in complex negotiations with GlaxoSmithKline over some small details. Apparently GlaxoSmithKlineMontpellier!!! is a rubbish name for a major pharmaceutical giant.
Le Cabaret is learning to play golf.

Monsieur Montpellier Hits the Presses
I am staggered to find that we have finally got a mention on iTricks.com - the finest magic website to come out of Colney Heath.
I also managed to get a picture of myself into the London Lite, although this was not complicated as I own 'Working Media', the paper's parent body.
