I finally remembered to update my giglist on my website today - you can see where I'm working/playing by going to www.paulkerensa.com/gigguide. There are a few unusual ones - please come support these if you fancy it, cos they're trying to do something a bit different, it should be fun, and they probably need your help to get bums on seats. They are:
Sun 23rd - Bring On Tomorrow - a fundraiser for www.isaiahhouse.com, Windmill Theatre, Blatchington Mill School, Brighton
A charity fundraiser for a great cause - helping the Latvian poor have safe, warm, dry, clean accommodation. I'm compering an evening of music, comedy and dance, and apparently I'm even singing and dancing in the closing number. Should be fun. So if you're a Brighton-or-nearby resident, come by.
Thu 27th - Bonobo Variety Night, Cafe Royal, Regent St, London
Variety Night! The e-flyer is here: www.bonobopresents.com/eflyer.htm - it's billed as "an evening of escapism, with fine dining, eclectic entertainment and slinky dancing'. I am not doing the dancing on this occasion. Someone hotter and more female is. There'll be a juggler, a late bar, and Andrew Lawrence. Should be a fun one.
Sun 14th - Genesis, Stowe School, instead of their morning chapel service.
The only current booking in the diary of doing the Edinburgh show from this year (though I'm sure I will do it somewhere). And what a weird one this will be. Stowe School is a public school, like Eton and Wellington. All very posh and full of boarding schoolboys, who probably have 'fags' and 'tuck boxes'. Instead of their chapel service, as it's their arts festival, they've booked me to do an hour on the book of Genesis. So it'll be not only my first ever morning gig (10am Sunday morning - youch) but also my first gig in front 1000 teenage boys. Plus a workshop on stand-up in the afternoon. Either way, I'm sure a blog will follow that day...
Oh, don't come to that one (unless you're already a pupil at Stowe School), cos people will think you're weird.
Fri 16th - Comedy @ My Local, ie. The Stoke, Guildford
Huzzah! A gig I can walk to. This one's co-run by my local church, St Saviour's, but if it goes well, me and the bar manager might consider running it as a regular (monthly? fortnightly?) gig. So if you're a Guildfordian, please please come and support this night, as your bum on a seat might make the difference between it carrying on as a regular thang or being banged on the head. More details on this one will follow.
For now I can recommend the Brighton charity gig on Sunday, and the Variety Night at Cafe Royal on Thursday. And that is the end of the plug. It wasn't too painful, was it? And I thought it was meant to be. Oh no, that's standing on the end of the plug. (Do not be disheartened - this joke will not appear at any of the above events.)
