Gig Report - Wednesday Nov 25th
This week's 5 Minutes of Fame was guest compered by the fantastic Sean Brightman, so I got another chance to give Ian from Human Resources an outing. This was a particularly good week, with a crowded room and a really warm audience. After a couple of sets as Ian, I... -
Gig Report: Monday Nov 23rd
A second outing for Ian From Human Resources at Monday's Comedy at the College. A great night had by all, and a chance to polish material a little in a different setting. After a few weeks with only my regular 5 Minutes of Fame gig, I was getting a little... -
Gig Report: Wednesday 18th Nov
Struck down with an annoying cold, I was dreading compering 5 Minutes of Fame this week, but surprisingly it was probably one of my better nights. After last Friday's harsh lesson in audience rapport, I was determined to get a little compering practice in, but a slight sore throat at... -

Amazing Halftone Comic Book Makeup
This morning, I was delighted to find this article by TashaMarie via Laughing Squid. I just cannot get over how awesome this Lichtenstein-esque makeup job is. Shame there aren't more details, though.
