About Me

Hello. Make yourself at home. I'm one of a number of people on the internet called Simon Kane. I write and I act (my showreel's up there in Videos) and I make things and I show them. They include, in descending order of guessed audience share: Sketches penned for That Mitchell and Webb Sound and Laurence and Gus: Hearts and Minds featuring Primo Levi, the Mekon, Hello Kitty, Zombie Poppins, a baby seal called Asbo (MENTIONED by Jonathan Ross) and these, for That Mitchell And Webb Look...Then there's my work as an associate artist with the theatrical collective Shunt.., coming-up-with-stuff for and running-about-while-costumed in the theatrical landmarks "Dance Bear Dance", "Amato Saltone", "Tropicana" and "The Tennis Show":Then the award-winning, politically sensitive collaborations as an actor with politically insensitive Kuwaiti literary giant Sulayman Al-Bassam (we did the national premiere of "Hamlet" on the Kuwaiti/Iraqi border, we got medals etc.)...Then "Princess Plimsole", "Iago's Little Book of Calm" and "Jonah Non Grata" are all pieces of mine that have somehow appeared onstage, excellently with excellent people, and might do so again. There's also a very old film of "The Tempest" I made featuring some future Shunt talent alongside scattered comedy pros like Rufus Jones, Gus Brown, Susy (also a) Kane and David Mitchell - which didn't. And then the stories (chiefly children's stories for grown-ups... Do contact me if you'd like a read). And I draw. Next up: Itinerant spots singing (though not the stuff you're hearing), compering, crashing industry events as a "professional parasite", confusing people for periods of time short enough to fall within the remit of stand-up, uncommissioned adventures in radio, hanging round the Shunt Lounge looking out of place...And the blog. Thank you for coming. We'll see. Be well.Blithe views concerning the pimp trade are that of pimp-my-profile, and not the artist's.

Well that was brilliant. I haven't seen Daniel Kitson before and, long as it's taken me to do get round to it I'm quite glad the first time that I see him should have been in a park at midnight. A lar...

"YOU SHOULD NOT BE HERE! THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY!" and other amazing dialogue..

Well the Giant Death Ray sketch finally aired. My parents were over from France and we perched in front of the telly - none of us dead - with a Chinese takeaway just like the old days, only now it was...

FOR KIDS: Bimbo, Evita and Flaps (Remnant)

Snap (+ a sketch Jon Taylor's mother was good enough to compliment me on last night)

So back to the Machine today, whose insides after a week of uninterrupted construction have now been turned to stone, and whose outsides bizarrely sport - in just the latest of a number of unconscious...

What's missing from this picture?

At nine o'clock it was still light in Battersea Park, and I'm trying to put my finger on what it is that's missing, and why I feel I'm wasting my time here. I mean, look at it. Where else would I rath...

So YES I should alert you to the fact that there is at least one sketch, maybe two of mine airing on BBC2 tonight at 10 as the third series of That Mitchell and Webb Look finally gets broadcast. And n...

IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK TO CHANGE WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY?

Internet still down but I finally got round to transcribing the notes I took in hospital and see now that nearly all of them were made during the one 24-hour steroid-enduced psychotic episode of Febru...

And it gonna be on wheels...

Just a quick breezing in while I'm sat at monitor 11 sending off last minute re-writes of a premiseless, twenty-two page sketch about the Elizabethan Conjuror John Dee to Laurence and Gus for tonight'...

... incommunicado ...

Broadband's down so I'm sending this from a cafe until I get back on line. It's a killer, a beaut', one of the absolute best things I saw while recuperating at my sister's - as a cartoon more Chris Wa...

Hawkins' First Hadrosaur

DO NOT WATCH THIS: .. I wish Hesketh would get a shift on and forward me that strand of a hundred insults because "Jesusophile", as he terms himself here, lacks them all. Lack. Exactly. ...
