About Me

Good things, when short, are twice as good. Going on that basis I will be brief. I am a natural born piss taker. That's it. I am a new stand up comedian and I am so relieved to have a job I can swear in. It saves me having to make up my Turrets therapy that I am supposedly getting.I love Bill Murrey but one thing I would say to him is this: 'Bill, Ground Hog Day was a film of genius EXCEPT one thing. WHY? After God knows how many attempts to live a 'perfect' day that was supposedly brilliant in every moment, WHY? Did you still want to be with Andie McDowell? Eh? Bill?'I have a lot of questions about everything that I still don't understand. What is this glass ceiling everyone is banging on about? Do I need a hard hat and sledgehammer and a sheet of plastic to catch the shards?The thing that puzzles me the most is this. (dramatic pause) What is the universe expanding into?

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who want to come and see this: The Odd Squadhttp://www.thunderpeople.com/oddsquad/index.htmComedy people. Preferably complete anoraks.For me the Holy Grail is 'The Life of Bryon' and 'The Holy Grail' and 'The Office' and 'Spinal Tap'. I recently saw Borat and laughed nearly all the way through that. Actually that sums me up. I am a grown up female but I in a past life I think I was a 'Beavis and Butthead' type boy. Because I love that humour and it is unfortunate for me.Also I am a very bad amateur philosopher and can make up reasons for anything to suit my current view of life. For example I thought the liking 'Borat' film was a strictly male/female divide but then I discovered some 'right on' men who dont like Borat either. Also these same men were vegetarians. Coincidence? Hmmmm.

Spooky

I am a bit of a fan of Derren Brown and one of the things I like best about him is he blows the whistle on 'magic'. The suggestability stuff is fascinating. Sometimes, not often but every now an...
