Yes! Here’s a tip for any budding new comedians out there. The key way to win an Edinburgh Comedy Award is to run a company for 20 years until they’re forced to give in and accept you do nice things. I had a lovely surprise on Friday when I heard the Victoria Wood Edinburgh Comedy […]

You know that Michael Gove? Yeah you know the one. Inexplicably tiny head, an entire demeanour that seems far too much like a ventriloquist dummy has been brought alive via a curse, and eyes that have a roaring fire of arrogance behind them?

Not In Their League

Accidental Consort
I had themes for today’s blog. They’d been swimming around in my head most of yesterday and I held onto them tightly in the brain storage facility for further use today. Today, I had thought, was going to be one of those blogs people will talk about for centuries to come. Or at least a […]

I am a grumpy old man. Here’s proof: TRYING TIMES Of all the days I’ve chosen to drive to Wales (I say chosen, but there is a Comedy Club 4 Kids gig there that needs hosting and whilst I may have had some part in choosing the date, I can’t take all the blame) […]
