Hello people!

And Happy New Year. I’m sticking firmly with pronouncing it ‘two thousand and ten’ so if you are a ‘twenty ten’ announcer may I recommend you have a long hard think about who you are, what you stand for, and perhaps even de-register from this email, we don’t need your sort round here. (Technically though, I do need you – I have a child and no fall back plan).

My tour is now long over so I’m mainly to be found mucking around trying bits out in comedy clubs for the next few months, then in summer it’ll take shape for Edinburgh and after that I believe another tour. I was given a little chess computer for Christmas so that should help avert the touring loneliness, shouldn’t it? Shouldn’t it?

I’m on Eight out of Ten cats this week, and last year I recorded a show called Great Unanswered Questions, which is also to be broadcast on Friday night on BBC in Northern Ireland, (get me: on telly on two different channels on the same night) it should be viewable on iplayer and the digital platforms etc.
I haven’t seen the edit yet but it was really fun to do and a big thanks to them for having me on it – hats off to the producer Jackie – just trusting the performers to be funny on TV? I don’t think that system will catch on.

I’m going to sort out some monthly shows in Manchester and I’ll be previewing in Arts Centres and comedy clubs in the summer so please do sign up to the mailing list if you haven’t already.

That is it, as usual I can promise more clips and stuff coming soon.

All the best
