It's good. But it's not right.

At Manchester's Frog and Bucket Comedy Club last night for another Beat the Frog Gong Show.

It was a really enjoyable gig. Jason Cook was compering and he was absolutely brilliant. It always make things easier when the compere is on good form and the audience are giddy with laughter.

I was trying out some new material. I need it for my gig on Friday as some of my longer set is a bit thin and, as I will be getting paid for the first time, I want it to go well.

The new material wasn't the most sophisticated I have come up with. It's about how when I was a kid I had a nervous twitch. It mainly consists of pulling stupid faces. But hey - it works - don't knock it. It's the second time I've tried it and it's gone down well both times so let's hope it will do the job on Friday.

But for me, the highlight of the night was when Roy Walker, host of 80s series Catchphrase, walked in, saw me at the bar, recognized me and came over to say hello!

OK so he couldn't remember my name. But he knew my face.

And he obviously remembered my act. Because he didn't stick around to watch it.
