It’s the third night of my 15 date, self booked, self promoted UK tour tonight. So far, it’s been very nice. That’s nice in a good way, not in a ‘not great’ or ‘biscuit’ way. Audiences have been reasonable in size and excellent in, er, being. They have been receptive to me waffling on about […]

News Will Eat Itself

I’ve just read an article in a paper (well, an online paper) about another paper doing an advert that slandered the journalist from yet another paper. The advert in question was unnecessarily vicious, and exceedingly bigoted, slandering a journalist for being pro-gay and stating such incredible untruths as there being ‘no such word for homophobic.’ […]

There are many problems with comedy, and one of the main ones is constantly being obsessed with overthinking about it and working out exactly what it is we are all meant to be doing. This is pretty much what leads to all the other problems of comedy and were any of us that are involved […]

Useless Twitterings

There are times when I think I’ve made some sort of important decision in my life and then almost instantly had a moment of clarity that tells me that really, in the grand scheme of things, it’s all a tad petty. One of these, for example, is a half decision to stop tweeting as much. […]

I don’t know if you know, or you’ve missed the bazillion tweets, Facebook posts or general shouts I’ve done about it in the street, but I’m doing a very small tour in just a few weeks. I have, no doubt, already bored a lot of very patient followers and, er likers (is that the term […]

Ying & Yang, Ant & Dec

It’s only as an adult that I realise again and again how naive films and television have made me throughout my life. Stories always showed someone who was good and fought the good cause against someone who is definitely, undeniably evil. Even in cases like Star Wars where Darth Vader (SPOILER ALERT, though seriously, how […]

Correct To The Worst Of My Ability

I’m taking part in a radio show tonight. It’s one of those ones where they discuss topical issues, people call in who have often read a news headline and like shouting it over and over again until someone responds, and they have a guest comedian hoping they might say something funny here and there. Tonight, […]

My sort of New Year’s resolution to myself was to write a blog everyday this year. My last blog was Saturday, it’s now Thursday. So I’ve already cocked that one up. The problem is time. There is never enough and consistently I find, with the internet, there is even less. There has never been quite […]

‘I feel like a little kid, like a sorcerer, like the luckiest person alive. I am in space, weightless, and getting here only took 8 minutes and 42 seconds. Give or take a few thousand days of training.’ – Chris Hadfield’s ‘An Astronaut’s Guide To Life On Earth’, page I have just started reading Chris […]
