Hello Dear Reader/Browser/Visitor (I don’t know what to call you – fan? Eurgh)
It’s been a little while since I updated. Couple of things I’d like you to know.
I’m not doing the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this year. I’m a bit sad about that, but I just couldn’t fit in and give it the attention it needs this year. I’m hoping to be back next year. Meanwhile I am on tour in the Autumn – all my dates are here on the site. Please come, stand up comedy is rubbish performed in empty rooms.
The sitcom I wrote with Jim Poyser “Everyone Quite Likes Justin” starts at 11.30am on the 29th June on BBC Radio 4. It’s been picked as Comedy of the Week which means if you miss it live you can download the podcast.
A remarkable film was made a little while ago in Manchester – Being Sold. It was shot in two days and has the most amazing cast. I haven’t seen it myself but the trailers and website look brilliant. Have a look yourself – it’s available to watch online soon I believe.
Finally you can book tickets for TWO at the Royal Exchange in Manchester which I’m doing in January. More information on the Royal Exchange’s website
Phew, it’s all very self-important isn’t it? Well here is a picture of my dog asleep, showing her boob and bits.
What movie trailers from this year, just by watching it, made you think the upcoming movie was going to be stupid? Just by watching the trailer you know it was going to be downright bad. My examples would be the remake of Arthur and the upcoming Cameron Diaz summer flick Bad Teacher.
