I've seen Nina Conti and her show is nothing to be excited about. Sorry to disappoint. There are better shows, with puppets, in the festival like Sammy J and the Forrest of Dreams.
Josh, that is disappointing, but thanks for the heads-up. I saw her ventriloquism deconstruction on the gala, something akin to this - http://youtube.com/watch?v=E25ebRjx8w0 - and fell off my chair I was laughing so hard. Have you got any non-puppet-related recommendations from a hard-core festival goer?
Of course I do. Word on the street is that Meat the Musical is really quite brilliant. Last night I saw David Quirk and thought he was a little bit of genius.
There are shows I still really want to see and I just wonder when I'll get the time like Justin Hamilton's The Killing Joke and Kristen Schaal.

I am also excited about the new Jhumpa Lahiri - just got it tiday and the cover (who says never judge a book by it's cover?) is a rich burgundy. I can't wait to get to it. Right now I'm reading all the authors I'll be seeing (can't wait!) at the SWF. Annie.
