.................GREAT START TO THE YEAR. Not only have i had some lovely gigs already but i've also got two new gigs of my own to promote. Sun 7th march sees THE BRADSHAW TAVERN, bradshaw host its first ever comedy night and thur 26th march a truly stellar night of comedy is booked for THE BRANCH ROAD INN, greetland. I'm as excited as a resthome when Englebert Humperdinks in town. The website is about to undergo some changes to incorporate FTT PROMOTIONS so there'll be plenty of news soon. WOOP!
.................ONE MORE GIG TO GO!! And that's all folks for 2009. Thanks to all who booked me, thanks to all who came and laughed and the gig of the year? Probably the furthest and the one i was certain would be hard work, Weymouth. Go on then, shittest... Saltaire, easy (cretinous bar managers fault not the audience). Happy christmas and have a great new year. See you in 2010
.................THE SCARIEST THING about this job sometimes is taking a booking. Like the one i just took for next august when its only oct. In another three bookings i'll be sixty!
.................SCARBOROUGH FAIR CANT TICKLED. You can take the lad out of Todmorden but he'll have no idea how to behave in public.
.................LIKE LAST YEAR, the Stockton Riverside Festival was a pleasure to play and to hang out with so many friends from the circuit at once. Also as the budget was a lot bigger it was a real honour to be part of the line up. The highlight was definitely once again watching Peter get all Chuck Norris, this time with a hapless photographer. Don't step on PVs blue suede shoes mister.
.................OH, THE HORROR! Had to share the dressing room with a lapdancer at last nights gig. Sometimes i envy myself.
.................AWESOME WEEK! Four great and very different gigs. New stuff flies, got a chance to do longer sets and next weekend HELLO CASTLE DONINGTON!
.................CAN'T BELIEVE IT! My Name Is Earl has been cancelled. Idiots..
.................ALEXANDER LITVYNENKO! That gags been going down a storm for six months. Until the last few weeks where i've been getting a "Ooooh, you shouldn't say that" reaction. Yesterday i figured out why. Jade Goody. I really should read a newspaper now and then.
.................NEW MATERIALS taking shape (is it that time of year again?), the suns out, gigs have been good, the snookers on and i go to see AC/DC on tuesday. Life is good.
.................IT'S BEEN A GREAT MONTH but i have to say last nights gig in Hyde was so sweet. Its always great to see a new gig spring out of the ground, especially when its such a nice one. Cheers Tony and Mike.
.................THANKS AGAIN to all the lovely idiots at last nights gig at THE COURTYARD in HEREFORD. That was fun and makes me think i should compere a lot more.
.................TYNEMOUTH CANCELLED- unfortunately. POOP!
..................STRATFORD- I'VE PLAYED SOME WIERD shaped rooms but never one that had a cock-fighting pen in the center before.
JERRY!..............
KRAMER!............
STOP THE FIGHT!....
TAMALE!
..................I DON'T LIKE WRESTLING.
I don't like Mickey Rourke either. But The Wrestler is definately an early contender for film of 2009.
Go see.
..................CHRISTMAS/NEWYEAR a memory. Snooker finished.
Thats it, i've run out of excuses, it really is time to do some writing.
Maybe i'll just pimp my vacuum cleaner first...
..................FINALLY FINISHED the website altogether. No more tweaking. The new clips are up and running.
Massive thanks to my patient mate Desi for putting the whole thing together and not telling me to f**k off every time i changed my mind about something. Thanks also to Bron for filming me, Chris Saunders for the studio photos and John Cooper for the caricature.
And big thanks to big Frank for the logos.
...............AT LAST NIGHTS lovely gig in gloucester i complained that since christmas, my pants don't fit me anymore, only for my button to go flying off when i sat in the car to go home.
So thats it, i'm starting running again.
Well, there's no time like the pres...
................NEW CLIPS from a christmas gig at the Middlesborough Town Hall getting posted here as soon as i get round to editing the footage.
