The last few acts of the Brighton Fringe have played themselves out, and all eyes are starting to look to Edinburgh.  But before we head north, we've some important business to complete... because, for the first time, we're bringing our Editor's Choice awards to Brighton.  It's a pleasure and an honour to be able to recognize those shows that left the strongest impression on our reviewing team.

If you've walked along Brighton seafront over the last week, you can't have missed the giant egg sitting next to the West Pier.  Inside you'll find three members of The Myst, the Sussex-based band who've made the egg their temporary home.

In Brighton in May, you can add a Fringe twist to almost everything you do.  In this audio blog, I drop into the Residence Pop-Up Restaurant, for a spot of lunch with a touch of artistic flair.

It's a two-parter audio blog from me today, recorded as I make my way to my one and (likely) only official Festival event: "Before I Sleep" in the now-defunct Co-Op building.  In a first for me, I give my immediate reactions right after stepping out of the show.

In this new audio blog from the Brighton Fringe, I'll be seeking out the unusual, the creative and the easily-missed around and about the city this May.  It's a chance to get out from the theatres and comedy clubs, and try to catch that spark of unconstrained creativity which defines the Fringe for me.

I'm posting this blog as a follow-up to a conversation on Twitter, when Chris Cooke from ThreeWeeks kicked off a campaign to send one simple message to the world: NEVER SEND PRESS RELEASES AS PDFs.  It's advice you've probably heard before - but after I'd repeated Chris's rallying cry, a few people tweeted back to ask me why.  Fair question.  Let me explain.
