Foot's feat
Paul Foot attempts comedy record
Stand-up Paul Foot is attemptig to set a new record for performing the most gigs in a single day.The comic is aiming to play up to 25 shows at the Edinburgh Fringe today (Wednesday). There must be a different audience each time, and each performance must be no shorter than five minutes.
Guinness World Records have confirmed no such record is currently held. However they will not be sending a representative to verify Foot’s attempt, so it is likely to remain an unofficial achievement.
The record bid will start at 12.15pm tomorrow at the Laughing Horse venue at The Argyle pub and should end around 2.30am at the Meadow Bar.
It will also include his own 50-minute show Off The Top Of/With His Head, Mervyn Stutter’s Pick Of The Fringe, Old Rope, The Cheese and Pineapple Show, Comedy Club 4 Kids and Best of The Fest.
