@holland_tom I fear @dcsandbrook would say I had let myself down

[Joe Von @jovonmal]

I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but @holland_tom ‘s rendition of Let’s Go Fly a Kite on @TheRestHistory had me tearing up on the tube

4 years ago I very nearly quit acting and went back to uni. And then we made Mediocre White Male, took it to Fringe and filmed it for @ShedinburghFest

You can listen to the R4 version that got made as a result here: https://t.co/qxYbu6447E

Hang in there, intrepid Fringe goers!
