Cultural Journalism

I lived in Edinburgh for 6 years, and spent every summer attending the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. When the biggest performing arts festival in the world lands on your doorstep, you have to go out and see what's happening. I started out as a roaming reviewer, then progressed to editor and features writer for multiple publications. Through this work I started up a great relationship with The Skinny and Fest, which continues to this day.

• Fest - August 2019
  Interviews with Magical Bones and Isma Almas.
  
• The Skinny - 2011 to presentComedy reviews, previews, interviews, and the odd foray into Tech and Magic in one of Scotland's best and most widely-read cultural magazines.
• Interviews: David Baddiel, Derren Brown, Sara Pascoe, Sofie Hagen
• Edinburgh Magic Festival
• Apps and books
• Many more
  
• Broadway Baby - Comedy editor, August 2013
  I scheduled shows for a team of 100 reviewers, edited their pieces in the safety of the office, then broke free and reviewed a few shows of my own. To see my writing, click the link and search for 'Ajderian'.
  
• ThreeWeeks - August 2011
  I reviewed over seventy shows, then promptly got ill on my one day off. I reviewed comedy, music, art and theatre.

I love all things comedy. I'm used to conducting interviews over the phone and going to shows by myself. If you'd like to hear more I will happily talk your ear off about all of the above- just drop me an email.
