Brighton Festival Fringe Launch Party

Jim and Lucy

Thursday night saw the launch of this year's Brighton Festival Fringe. Jim, Lucy, Hannah and I blagged ourselves some invites and made our way to the party down at Brighton Marina's West Quay. What followed was a hilarious evening of drunken debauchery...

Helen and Jim

Hannah, me and Sam

After quaffing some free champagne we ran into Sam and Helen and got invited out on a boat trip around the Marina. Maybe it was the booze, maybe it was the freezing cold weather and sea spray, but we found this to be the funniest thing ever and laughed all the way...

"Look at the dolphins, they're magnificent! The ducks are glorious!"

Back on dry land we discovered the very reasonable bar prices and retreated upstairs to mingle with some of the other Dome and Festival faces. And then the fun really began...




She Said Boutique's fashion show

Jim and I had been contemplating leaving early but then the live music kicked in downstairs and we found some more champagne to drink. Oh, and She Said Boutique put on a fashion show - well, lingerie parade - for our entertainment. We suddenly found ourselves perking up a little after that. Strange, huh?


Hello sailors!

Several drinks later we were back upstairs on the makeshift dancefloor with Lucy, Hannah, Polly, Holly and her Fringe team wearing sailor hats which we'd been given by a couple of the Fringe girls, dancing our asses off to the DJ's cool tunes...

I think we finally piled into a cab around 1am, drunk and exhausted - with Jim still wearing his sailor's hat!

Big thanks to Holly for organising such a great party xx
