Lance by Kieran HodgsonEdinburgh Fringe play "Lance" gets rave reviews
If you're in Edinburgh between now and 30 August we recommend you look in on a show.
"Lance" is a part biographical account of character comedian Kieran Hodgson's adolescent obsession with the disgraced Tour de France cheat and his own education moving from West Yorkshire down South.
The hour long show sees Hodgson perform a raft of characters both within pro racing, and from his own coming of age, and has been given a ton of rave reviews.
Was having a nice lunch then this happened. http://t.co/7b4dNx1KBo

He performs at the Voodoo Rooms, Edinburgh, until 30 August. Box office: 0131-226 0000. Tickets are free but Hodgson recommends turning up early, as it's proving popular.
Feel like such a jerk to say this but it's now a good idea to turn up fairly early to guarantee a place in mi show. Maybe 8:30? Cheers EdFri

For those of us who'll miss out on the Edinburgh show Hodgson also hinted on Twitter he'd try to put it on in London this Autumn. Watch this space.
@nedboulting Alas, if only. I'll try and put it on in London in the Autumn. Try and nudge your man David Millar along!

They should read scampercraft and not exaggerate the danger of scuttling along. I discourage squirrel predation by acting like one.

Perhaps they should apply the same standard to dangerous, unsafe, poorly designed roads and COMPLETELY rip them out rather than "fix" or "redesign"...
