Gig Report - Tuesday July 13th 2010
I was at the Rocket in Acton this week, for something of a special gig. First of all, it was my birthday. And also, the second half of the night featured the delightfully eccentric Paul Foot previewing his Edinburgh show. I was up first, and unfortunately the response seemed a... -
Gig Report - Monday July 5th 2010
On Monday, I was booked in for a five at Comedy at the College, at the College Arms near Goodge Street. They were a little short on acts, so Dave graciously allowed us each to do seven minutes. So I had the chance to try out a couple of new... -
Gig Report - Monday Jun 28th 2010
Back at Jester Jesters this week, and with some new short gags in my set. Although I feel I may have gone too far. I'd reworked my set a little, removing some of the more unreliable gags, and adding in some that I had wanted to try for a while.... -
2010 Novel Project: Chapter Thirteen
After an unfortunate case of writer's block - and being incredibly busy - here's chapter 13! Unlucky for some. Little miffed with myself for being a week late with this one, I've been a little preoccupied with work, moving out of my flat, and other such things. But hopefully its... -
Gig Report: Monday June 21st 2010
Its been a little while since I gigged at a new venue, so on Monday, it was refreshing to be doing my first open spot at Carnivale, part of the Comedy Bin group. And a very interesting venue it was. They had unisex toilets for a start. With the World Cup... -
Gig Report: Wednesday 16th June 2010
Back at Touching Cloth this week for a 5 minute spot. After a less than stellar outing last time, I was a little bit nervous of this one, but I was determined to please the crowd this time! With the World Cup on TV upstairs, audience was a little bit thin on... -
2010 Novel Project: Chapter Twelve
Now that was a shockingly quick fortnight. Time for chapter 12 already! Ok, so I'm a little bit late, but this chapter is also a bit longer. Ben's relationship with Anne moves into a new phase, but not entirely in the way he expected. [Read Chapter Twelve] [Novel Main Page] -
Gig Report - Monday Jun 7th 2010
Last Monday, I was at Jester Jesters for five minutes of frenzied joke telling. This is fast becoming one of my favourite nights, a great little space and always a friendly atmosphere. I brought out the new bits I'd debuted at William IV again, and, again, I'd completely failed to... -
Book Recommendation: The Radioactive Boyscout
I recently finished reading a fascinating little book: The Radioactive Boyscout. The almost unbelievable tale of David Hahn, a Michigan teenager famed for building a nuclear reactor in his Mum's shed. Far from only having the best title ever, this is a compelling tale of ingenuity, daring and homemade fireworks.... -
2010 Novel Project: Chapter Eleven
I've finally got my novel into Chapter 11! Not the bankruptcy one, the other one. This chapter also marks me passing the halfway point in terms of word-count, and before the mid-point of the year. I should probably get the plot progressing, or I'll run out of chapters to tie...
