An aside: Jemima Khan and Russell Brand were together from Sept 2013-Sept 2014. Both were initially keen supporters of Julian Assange, to the extent that Khan offered to contribute to his bail fund in Dec 2010. But by Feb 2013, she had become…

"The biggest thing I’ve learned is that the most important thing you can do is make your show as good as it can be." Brendan Scannell's #EdFringeTalk https://t.co/E4eR6DvO4g @guybranum@Gildedballoon#EdFringe
"As deeply personal comedic self-excavations go, it’s up there with the best."

I will always think of @Glen_Hansard busking on Grafton Street each Christmas Eve for the Simon community and the homeless - the Big Busk, which he started (and which inevitably also involved Bono and Sinéad O'Connor), was a huge part of returning to Dublin for the holidays, for me and many like me, living away.
It made sense to someone who was himself a former Dublin busker - he quit school in Ballymun at 13 to play on his city's streets. He even played an Irish busker on a Simpsons episode ("In the Name of the Grandfather"). The Commitments, The Frames, the Swell Season came after, and so did an Oscar and an Emmy. And still every Christmas he was out busking for the homeless, and getting every other Irish musician to, too.
And Once was both the perfect romantic comedy - the right amount bittersweet, no happy endings but we can value the moments of closeness we get, as long as they last - and the perfect Dublin film. I danced to Falling Slowly at my wedding.
