Owen Niblock: Comedian, Geek & Weirdo

I'm hijacking my own front page to advertise my show at the Edinburgh Fringe (link to follow once it's listed). The show is called Owen Niblock: Codemaker - it's on as part of the Free Fringe and will be on at the Voodoo Rooms (in the Speakeasy room) at 3:40pm. It's free to get in and you get to leave a donation at the end. What's the show about? Here's the blurb:

Life throught a lens. A Google-shaped lens. Join Owen as he shares his tale of love, life and computer programming. The history of Owen (if you like) with the assistance of the power of Internet search. Owen is the creator of the gig-a-tron project (the world's first AI comedian), a massive geek and a regular peddler of whimsy.

'Ground-breaking' (Scotsman)

'Inspired and offbeat' (Chortle.co.uk)

'I don't think I've ever come across anyone quite so talented at being geeky as Owen Niblock; he's the master of all geekdom' **** (ThreeWeeks)

There will be searches, a spot of code and possibly even a live game on a text adventure.
