Charming, hilarious and utterly refreshing” - Sunday Mirror ‘Long face, not short on laughs’ - The Evening Standard Award-winning comedian and broadcaster Marcus Brigstocke is heading out on a brand new UK tour in autumn 2016 with his eagerly awaited new stand up show ‘Why The Long Face?’ Why? Because of austerity, Donald Trump, cheese strings, George Osborne, being single, Isis, The Daily Mail, tax avoiders and the inexplicable popularity of nail bars. That's why.

Marcus will be performing “The Brig Society ” at the Edinburgh Fringe in August (nightly at the Assembly Rooms, Rainy Hall) with the UK tour due to kick off in mid September. In early September Marcus will be reprising his fantastically received role as King Arthur for the West End Production of award-winning musical Spamalot .

He is now regarded as a major comedy, writing and acting talent, performing stand up nationally to sell out audiences around the UK and globally at international comedy festivals.

  • Deborah Frances- White: Half a Can of Worms Pleasance Dome – 10 Dome, Potterow, Edinburgh, EH8 9AL
    jSo Comedy presents Deborah Frances- White: Half a Can of Worms Pleasance Dome – 10 Dome, Potterow, Edinburgh, EH8 9AL Friday 1st – Monday 25th August 2014 (except 12th), 3.45pm Comedian Deborah Frances-White was adopted when she was only ten days old. Until late 2012, she knew nothing about her birth family. Then she stumbled across some information that led her to embark on a round-the-clock treasure hunt, drawn into her past like a magnet. This is her true story. Turns out, you can’t open half a can of worms! Armed with only her birth mother’s maiden name, Deborah turned internet detective to track her down. At first Deborah said ‘I just wanted to look – I wasn't at all sure I wanted to contact anybody. I wanted to see who they were and what they looked like.’ But, her curiosity soon became a compulsion as she delved into the online worlds of Google, ancestry.com, Facebook, Pinterest and YouTube. There is no doubt that this quest was a gamble - full of false leads, hilarious disappointments, hysterical revelations and, most importantly, the consequences of her discoveries. When Deborah finally made contact with her birth mother, she exposed a part of the past that had been hidden for decades. Half a Can of Worms is a raw and emotional show, by turns hilarious and heartbreaking (The Guardian). Discover Deborah’s mysterious past, inspirational present and inevitable future as her story unfolds. Deborah will also be bringing back her hit late night improv show Voices in Your Head, each weekend at the Gilded Balloon, with a host of special guests.

Developed by Adam Hecktman, Microsoft Director of Technology and Civic Innovation for Chicago Module1: Basic Census Data Access and Table Formatting Module 2: Quick Census Data Analysis in Excel Module 3: Advanced Census Data Access and Hierarchical Charts in Excel Module 4: Advanced Census Data Analysis in Excel Extra Modules: Mapping Census Data in Excel Introduction The U.S. Census Bureau’s mission is to serve as the leading source of quality data about the nation’s people and economy. Whether you are looking for the most current economic indicators or for demographic and socioeconomic characteristics about your community and how they compare statistically to other areas, data from the U.S. Census Bureau are available online through a variety of tools. Every year, the Census Bureau publishes population, socioeconomic, housing and business statistics for all communities in the country. These data can be sorted by several characteristics such as age, sex and race, as well as different levels of geographies from the nation to areas below cities and towns. They can be charted, compared with other data (from inside or outside Census), and can be used to derive insights about the nation’s characteristics. Excel is a tool that many people are familiar with, and many people use every day. Excel can be leveraged to unlock the value of open data of all kinds, and it is particularly well-suited to transforming, analyzing, and visualizing Census data. This course will show how to use Excel to access, manipulate, and visualize Census data.
