IT'S ALIVE!!!! IT'S ALIVE!!! Sing For Your Life at Edinburgh Fringe
WE’VE DONE IT! THE ANIMALS HAVE RAISED
ONE MILLION POUNDS!
Because of you, Foxy will have new teeth, he will have
backing dancers, he will have a boom box and he will have a sub woofer!!!! The animals will ride around on a transportable thrown and
if we’re really really lucky, we’ll have a mobility scooter like this….
But most importantly, we will have live music!
Unfortunately another puppeteer is still financially unattainable.
...So, what’s it like begging for money to fund your very very expensive dreams? Well it’s
tough. It was a candle burning, stomach churning, ball busting month for me, an enormous amount of work on and off the pitch, holding down vague employment whilst spamming inboxes at every spare moment. You have to be witty, charming and engaging ALL THE TIME. Copy and paste
jobs just don’t cut it. And you have to be relentless, ruthless, shameless! Everyone hates you but you have to ignore it and carry on regardless.
Crowdfunders are boring, everyone's doing one. You have to think of ingenious ways
to get people interested, like posting internet dating conversations of you
hustling for money. 98% Of the time I was
unsuccessful.
He got that for free...But here's a picture of what my foot once looked like. More fool him.
I managed to
get one famous person to donate money-Famous Phil Davis sponsored a dead Fox.
My last stroke of genius was to steal peoples
photos and plaster inspiring but often completely miss spelled messages on them. Donations soared.
On Tuesday someone generous and wise donated the lucky £69 that was needed to take the project over the edge. Our final total when I last looked was £5350 from 121 wise and generous humans.

Richard Moral is the man behind the camera, making cracking videos. He has shown the greatest patience, worked long, hard, difficult and technical hours but achieved pure perfection in digital form.
Kieron deserves a mention for spotting the ship full of limitless cargo who would otherwise, just be floating around in the sea.

And YOU GUYS!!! You guys for believing in me/this. It really is quite unbelievable that this is really a reality. It's been a strange old life ..... Thank you for helping wild dreams come true.
