Second Rising

I’ve just had an afternoon nap for two hours. Its Easter Sunday and I’ve dozed off for a whole two hours. I feel proud of how bank holiday that behaviour is. Its what bank holidays were invented for, snoozing. Its what Jesus would have wanted to do after all that dying and coming back, which […]

Racey Times

I’m sitting in the most uncomfortable hotel room I’ve ever been in. Considering how much it costs and its 4 star rating, there is no reason why our room should stink of smoke, have a bed with a mattress that seems to be made entirely of wood instead of a soft cool gel mattress or something […]

Day Off

Its Good Friday and as you are all having a day off I feel its only fair that I do too. Actually there is a real reason that this blog will be miniature but I can’t tell you about it till tomorrow. What it does do though is mean I have only about an hour […]

Notes on Galway

Ireland has ruined me. Here are some small notes on the past day while I go off and lie down in a dark room with no booze anywhere near me: – Galway airport is officially fun-sized. I followed the sign to departure gates and there were only two of them and one was closed. The […]

Old Ladies, Innocent and Talking to Strangers

You know what I love at a gig? I tell you there is nothing better than an old woman who sits dead centre of the audience with a face of stone and does a perfectly timed yawn on every punchline. Each intake of oxygen, while possibly the result of a tiring day, or general fatigue, […]

Bad Loser

Its been a bit of a lovely morning. To start I had breakfast with Layla for the third time in 3 days. She’s on her Easter hols and it means we actually see each other a bit. Its almost a novelty. We’ve spoken and not just over the phone or internet. Its really nice. I […]

Hereditary Humour

Its the semi-finals for the English Comedian of the Year tonight. I’m meant to get people along to support and hopefully vote for me, but the amount of friends I have that are still interested in seeing me gigging are slim to none and those few are not very interested in seeing me do 7 […]

Pollenhating

Its around that time of the year once again, when I get hayfever. As soon as the sun starts shining and the plants all start appearing and having a crazy fun flower time my face joins in the fun by slowly falling apart. My nose refuses to do anything useful and just blocks up like […]

Now You Got The Juice

Its a pretty lovely day today, and I, for the first time in ages, am without a gig on a Saturday. There is part of me that find this terrifying. I’m not used to gigless Saturdays and I’m not quite sure what to do without one. I had one in, but it got cancelled so […]

No-Pod

I’ve lost my i-pod. I don’t know if its properly lost or just somewhere I haven’t looked for it yet which is also possible. I haven’t yet asked Layla to look for it which means its highly likely its somewhere obvious. Layla is like an object finding magnet. I can spend literally hours looking for […]
