With John away, Rosie flags down a John Replacement Bus Service AKA comedian/improviser Simon Plotkin, who joins for a chat about his Brighton Fringe shows (Do The Thing's 'Choose Your Own Musical'; and 'Losing The Plotkin' with Alex Plotkin) and other Fringe business to get excited about. There's also Rosie’s hastily compiled rundown of some gigs to catch in The Great Escape. Yes it's May, in Brighton, so it's all poppin' off! Aaaand there's still room for regular features It Takes Two and Covered In Glory, and loads of new tracks & classic gems besides. Phew! Then, on the (actual) bus home, Rosie has an afterthought: she forgot to mention, when talking about Steph Cassin's upcoming Fringe dates, that Steph herself was a fabulous John Replacement Bus Service on this very show a while ago. And also… did she just unconsciously steal Steph’s Covered In Glory track from that very occasion and brazenly play it again today as her own choice? V v possibly. Oops soz Steph!
