Killing time

      So yeah, got back into the gigging mode on Sunday. Been quite some time since I last did stand-up, over a month in fact. Actually been working. Genuinely, not just sitting in work...

Dreadmill

So, here's what happened to me last Friday.     The plan was thus. Await delivery of our treadmill (which the wife has been going on about for ages, and finally ordered), which was...

Here's a serious one about the comedy side of things.      I've heard many comedians talk about how they really need to sit down and write some new material. And how hard it i...

Sorry about all that Ive done.

     You may remeber a while back that I went to Mexico. Well, what I didn't tell you was that one night, before I left, I tried to do an impromptu stand-up set in one of the local bars...

Contest result

So I went to Edinburgh, for the semi-final of So You Think You're Funny. Also to see loads of shows, but the contest meant I was there because I had to be, not because I wanted to be. I felt better ab...

Beats a taxi, I suppose.

     Sunday was nice. Sun, and all that. Went to the cinema, which is the ideal pastime for glorious weather. And the best part is, I went to the cinema by boat.     ...

An old man I am.

    So I am now officially 25 years old. It's literally no different from being 24, although when I was 24 I didn't own the Godfather Box-set, Series 2 of Extras or every Red Dwarf seri...
