I Love Yorkshire


"I love Yorkshire" - three words I never thought I would put in the same sentence.
Having been brought up on the other side of the Pennines, I've always felt compelled to dislike Yorkshire almost as a matter of principle.
But this week has changed my opinion. What splendid people the folk of Leeds and Sheffield really are! And what excellent taste in comedy!
On Sunday I did the Discount Comedy Checkout in Leeds and got a lovely reception, despite my slightly tired and below par performance. Then last night I played at Abbcom in Sheffield to a brilliant crowd.
There's a lot more I want to say about these gigs but, to be honest, I'm absolutely knackered from trying to become a comedy legend whilst at the same time doing a full-time job and being a dad/taxi-driver. So balls to it - this is your lot for today. 

However, I have done a little audio thing about getting lost in Leeds city centre on my way to the gig. And there's a recording of the Sheffield gig. So when I have time I'll edit them and post them.
In the meantime, thanks to everyone who continues to read this nonsense and all those who are generally supportive. In particular, thanks to those people who have come along to gigs recently - including Tim, Dawn, Rob, Jason, Sona, Narapa and Louisa'a brother and sister.
Lots of love

Lovin' the suits!
And the cute pink scrawl at the top of your blog!

Did I tell you I am now insisting my students watch your podcasts to get an idea of a British northern accent!!! Your fame will spread throughout Argentina ;)

Beso, Sal.x.

Fantastic! I love the thought of Argentinians trying to make sense of my act. They might learn a few choice phrases as well.

I haven't had much luck with recording my act recently. I keep putting the recorder in the wrong place. Last time you could hear laughter, and a lot of clanking from the kitchen at the back of the bar, but you couldn't make out a single word I was saying.
