If you are returning to Edinburgh after a break it helps if you have a story to tell. Jim Tavare has had a break in every sense and a story to tell. His answer to question 3 below will explain, but expect a lot more detail in his show From Deadpan To Bedpan. Older comedy fans will know Tavare from his time on the UK circuit with his double bass, smart suit and comically gloomy demeanour. Younger fans may know him as Tom (the owner of the Leaky Cauldron) in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
