An End To Boring

I have a confession to make.

I am bored with this blog. And if I'm bored with it, then you probably are too.

At first it was exciting to talk about each gig after it happened. But now I think I've pretty much said it all and you have heard it all.

So I'm going to have a change of tack.

From now on I'm going to write about whatever stuff is going on in the world that strikes me as funny. I'm also going to include bits of audio and video. Unfortunately funny stuff doesn't come to mind on a weekly basis so I don't know how often I will post. Let's just see shall we?

I'm going to stop reviewing my own gigs (unless something amazing and hilarious happens). 

Thanks to everyone who reads this rubbish. I love you all (well, I probably would if I knew you.)

Have a happy day.

On Sunday I'm doing the Vulcan in Walkden.

I'm really looking forward to it as I'm supporting Sarah Millican.

Sarah has won loads of awards in the past year and is a rising star on the comedy circuit. She's just come back from Melbourne Comedy Festival and is a regular at the Comedy Store, Jongleurs etc. She is also on Radio 4 a lot - but don't let that put you off.

So even if you think I'm rubbish it might be worth coming along to see Sarah.

Last Wednesday I did the Gatehouse pub in Tyldesely. It was a really good night. I opened the show which was interesting as the audience needed a bit of warming up. But after a slow start the set went pretty well.

I've been working on some new material lately so I'll be trying that out over the next few weeks.

Hello

I have missed a few gigs over the past ten days or so after my back totally seized up.

It was horrible. I was paralysed on the living room floor. My arms and legs were numb and I was losing consciousness.  I suddenly understood what it must be like to be an old person who has "had a fall".

I managed to reach my phone and call an ambulance and was wizzed off to hospital (those speed bumps are a bastard by the way). As I lay in the ambulance, off my head on gas and air I thought "Hang on... there's some material in this."

I'm just about getting back to normal now. But I was sorry to have to cancel a couple of gigs. I missed being in the Best of Rawhide Raw. And I also missed doing a private function for a mate.

Still, I'm now looking forward to next Tuesday's gig when I hit the dizzy heights of Tyldesley. Showbiz!
