Of course you don’t - you want a brief summary before you lose interest and navigate away. It’s alright, I’m not offended. Well we’re back from Edinburgh and, as some people may have noticed, we failed in our efforts to bring you a blog entry every day. After we realised we had an awesome show, the success went to our heads. We were suddenly far too busy rocking out and doin’ hot babes to care about writing the blog anymore*. We didn’t keep that promise. And so our blog, like some online, text-based Maddy, was unthinkingly neglected whilst we enjoyed our holiday.
Luckily for us though, it is still here and it’s simply desperate to have more entries put in it. I would like, in this one, to mention our review from Three Weeks and reprint it. We were very happy indeed to get a lovely 4 stars from them. In fact, we were so happy that we just wanted to shout it from the mountaintops! We then realised, though, that this would be an inefficient and impractical way of informing people and that a blog posting containing the review would be more appropriate. Here it is:
Ladma Vs. The World
Ladma
Get rid of that archaic 'it's free so don't expect much' attitude; this is gold, and it's lying about in a stuffy little room above a pub on the Grassmarket. This show features films (not your standard grainy shot-from-a-mobile YouTube variety, but skilfully produced television-worthy ones) and sketches with a bit of banter. I'm not one for hysterics, but the film about pet hates had me in fits, and my only criticism is that people were laughing so hard they blotted out some of the jokes. A Southerner's take on 'the North' produced some priceless mockumentary genius, while the live element of the show, featuring a scarily believable life coach sketch amongst others, is well executed. Highly recommended free comedy.

*Actually we were eating soup, playing Grand Theft Auto 2 and watching Terminator 2 but it’s basically the same.

The best night at the festival was spent watching Terminator 2 and playing GTA2. Yeah we could have done that at home but would it have been the same? Well yes but... Shut up it was still awesome even though Chris won all the fucking time.
Boys, really enjoyed you in Edinburgh.
Best of luck for the future. I won't play the "no change" card again.
Thanks Matt. We'll consider it as an IOU
