Hardeep Singh Kohli discusses being middle aged, Scottish and being a nation of story tellers with HeraldScotland.
Tell us about your Fringe show
It's about love, sex and romance in middle age...I'm middle aged.
Best thing about the Fringe?
Friends you don't see are all in one place. Great to have Scotland centre stage and admired by world performers and visitors.
Worst thing about the Fringe?
Can't think of a thing!
How many years have you been coming to the Fringe?
This is my 6th year.
Favourite Fringe venue?
I love the room I'm playing, Ace Dome.
Best Fringe memory?
My first ever show in the Debating Hall at Gilded. Sold Out. Was an amazing feeling.
Best heckle?
I don't really get heckled…..
Craziest on stage experience?
Answering an audience members phone to hear that his uncle had passed away! I nearly buckled and fainted! He was very cool about it….
What's on your rider?
Nothing at all….
How do you wind down after a show?
Drink coffee with my girlfriend and make dinner plans….
What do you love about Scotland?
It's home…
What do you like about Edinburgh?
Unarguably the most beautiful city in the world. And only 45 minutes to Glasgow…
What's the most Scottish thing you've done?
Exist.
What kind of jokes do a Scottish crowd seem to respond to?
Stories rather than jokes....we are a nation of storytellers.
Favourite joke?
That would be telling.....

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
