• Gig Report - Wednesday Feb 3rd 2010

    After a couple of months getting a really solid 5 minutes together, I thought I'd try to get some semi-new material on track. It was a pretty good night to try stuff out, the crowd were lovely, and whipped into a frenzy of excitement by Renata Muss, our wonderful compere...

  • Gig Report - Wednesday Jan 27th 2010

    An interesting gig this Wednesday, wherein I learned something about myself I didn't know before. As it turns out, I'm actually rather uptight. The room was packed and the audience were lively, if a little laddish; some of the particularly good gags were met with cheers of "go on, my...
  • Gig Report - Monday Jan 25th 2010

    Hot on the heels of my Laughing Horse heat, was a 5 minute spot at the William IV Comedy Night in Kensal Green. A night I can recommend wholeheartedly to stand ups looking for a friendly open mic. The room at the William IV had a great atmosphere, with loads of comfy...
  • Gig Report - Saturday 23rd Jan 2010

    After a few weeks of warm-up gigs and polishing my set, last Saturday was my heat of the Laughing Horse New Act of the Year contest, at the Tournament in Earl's Court. Competition aside, it was a great gig. The room upstairs was packed, probably the biggest crowd I'd performed to....
  • Gig Report - Wednesday Jan 20th 2010

    My second gig of three this week (my busiest week so far, go me!), and my last chance to polish my set a little before Laughing Horse. The evening was ably MCd by Pete Dobbing (who I'd heartily recommend to anyone looking to book a guest compere), and for once...
  • 2010 Novel Project: Chapter Two Online

    I've been scribbling away over the last couple of weeks and got the second chapter of my as-yet-unnamed novel together. Methinks the next installment will be a little more challenging, seeing as I don't have any notes for chapter three yet... [Read Chapter Two] [Novel Main Page]
  • Gig Report - Monday Jan 18th 2010

    I was fortunate enough to have been invited to perform at the first We Love Comedy of 2010 (run by my good friends Sean Brightman and Renata Muss), and what a great night it was! The upstairs room at the Blue Posts isn't huge, but that made for a brilliant...
  • Gig Report - Wednesday Jan 13th

    Second gig back after Christmas (more on the first later), and I think I'm starting to get a feel for where I need to improve. I'm working on polishing a 5 minute set for my Laughing Horse Heat on the 23rd, so I videoed my set to review afterwards (certainly a lot more...
  • 2010 Novel Project: First Chapter Up!

    As this is probably my most sizable goal for the year, I thought I'd get a head start on the whole novel thingy. So I've pieced together the first chapter from my notes scrawled while drunk in a Berlin pub, and created a new page to keep note of my...
