Thursday 16th (got to hotel about 3pm) to Sunday 19th (left hotel 11am).
I saw:
- 5 Standup
- 5 Multi Standup
- 4 Sketch
- 3 Play
- 2 Cabaret
- 2 Storytelling
- 2 Other
The rating (1 to 7) is not the quality of act but the quality compared to my expectation (since for many I know what to expect), so 4 is 'as expected', which in most cases is fairly entertaining (expectation higher for famous acts).
