About Me

http://www.comedycv.co.uk/jamesmason/index.htm I'm not cool; suburban cynic; Grumpy young man. I'm your basic white, liberal, post art degree, graduate. Raised on a diet of two ronnies, kenny everet, reggie perrin, henry's cat and slightly more obscurly Shelly which was an ITV show about a writter going through a midlife crisis with an annoying grumpy neighbour to annoy him at comic moments, which as a 8/9 year old was my favourite show. I think I was the only 10 year old I new who was a fan of Vic Reeves Big Night out (Matt Lucas didn't even get it and he was about 18 so I am best). Then Newman and Badiel (I was still a bit young for them). So Lee And Herring caught me just at the right time, them and Harry Hill were the ones who made me want to be MR funny man. (Yes I am blaming them for me doing rubbish at school, in a good way.) So off to art school I went; I kind of love art but I don't get on with other artists because I'm too narcissistic and self absorbed and so are they. Um what else can I say? I'm an appathetic radical, I'm an angry pacifist (funny that that word contains the word fist), I could quite easily say without a hint of irony that i hate the internet and everyone on it including myself but I'm aware that isn't very constructive and only acts as detriment to my charicter as someone frustrated with the amount of control he exercises in his own life. but it would be a very boring world if we all acted completly rationaly wouldn't it. James Mason an artist. I apologise for my spelling!

some of my basic set that I still, more often than not do.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Mrs Peel from the avengers (note; not diana Rigg she's an old woman, although still cool but I want the young one from the 60's), Julie Christie also from the 60's, The woman from the BT adverts you know the one- married to the son from My Family, My neighbour not the old woman next door I'm not sick- the woman who lives oposite and has a borring balding husband who is at work all day and she must just do nothing like me, if this were france we'd definatly be having an affair, the french girl who I used to work with at Tesco Who I occasionaly see around and I just said hello to- she is going out with an ugly old french pervert they may even be married- weird, Erin O'Conner, The tall blonde one out of girls aloud don't know what it's name is, the girl who works in the newsagents in town who said she liked my jacket she's probably only about 17- still, Cheryl David- larry's on screen wife from curb your enthusiasm: I'd like to meet everyone. Except T totalers and extreamly religous people, although I'd quite like to meet them just to piss them of really. I probably should be kept away from violent people, and people with no sense of irony bouncers/ Americans/ any one from big brother, people like that. I would like to have seen performe; the sex pistols (both incarnations). also Bill Hicks. Alexi Sayle (when he was good) Mark Lamar vic reeves as well. I don't know but I think you should probably never meet your heros. It's not so much who as catching them at the right time like elvis. But most of all I'd like to meet slags and crap bands, obviously.
