My gig tonight doesn’t start till 10.30pm which means I’ve got a long day before I have to go to work. I was hoping I would be doing the early show at the Komedia as well tonight, as that tends to give you enough energy so that by the late show you are on form […]
After I finish this blog I have to deal with the washing up. Its been there for days and there are things in it I’m not sure of. Its possible some of them could have become animate. Although it smells more like something has died in the sink. I hate washing up. Its one of […]
There is a dog a few gardens away from ours that spends all day howling. Not just a bit of howling but really howling, like a werewolf would as it was about to eat your face. It both irritates and worries me. I’m quite a sucker for feeling sad about an animal in distress and […]
This swine flu is causing all sorts of hullabaloo at the moment. I am as yet unfazed but such matters. Bird Flu and SARS didn’t seem to cause as much damage as they said they would and pigs are far less mobile than birds or, er SARS, whatever they are. I bet they’re pretty mobile […]
Cant type for long today as I have to go away and be a zombie. Luckily this doesn’t involve being killed and then reanimated, or being bitten by another zombie or any sort of voodoo charms. If it did then although the poster would look great, lives would be jeopardized and my Edinburgh show, more […]
Where the bloody hell has the sunshine gone? The sun is a bit like a wanton father or husband. Its not there for ages and you give up on it, thinking it’ll never come back. Just when you’ve forgotten it exists, it strolls right back in pretending it can just rule the roost again, no […]
Sometimes I am envious of music gigs. There are certain things you can do to kick of a show when you are a band that you just can’t do as a solo stand-up. You can try, but its never the same. My friend Mat started his final university stand-up show by walking through a smoke […]
No gigs today and for a very good reason too. Well its not a very good reason, its because no one would give me a gig. But I’ve turned that frown upside down (as I typed that I felt sick at myself. Sorry) because I’m going to see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at Shepherds Bush […]
Just a quick blog today. Have to race off and host the Camden Crawl this afternoon before then heading to Bedford for a gig there. It shall be a busy day and one that contains a rather mental afternoon. I’m really not sure what to expect. I can only assume its called the Camden Crawl […]
I appear to have a slight mental block for remembering just how far away certain places are. I have driven to Glastonbury before and it took ages. I mean, really ages. Think of a long time. Its longer than that. So oddly when I was rung up to do a gig there again run by […]
