News for today:

Got that casting I went for the other day - pleased about that as they were, as I mentioned, nice people. Not got the full details yet, all I know is that they've offered me the job.

Tonight I did the warm-up for Bremner, Bird and Fortune which was a happy affair. Not the easiest gig I've ever done in my life, but we got there safe in the end and I met some nice people. To begin with I pretty much managed to contradict every single piece of good advice that Stephen Grant texted me the other day about doing audience warm up but then I heard Stephen's voice in my head like Ben Kenobi at the end of Star Wars (yes, all right A New Hope - you fucking nerd), got myself back on track and all was well.

Also, I assume Rory Bremner reads this blog as he followed my instructions on how to conduct oneself to the letter. Very kind to me before and after the show, very generous with his compliments - a true gentleman way beyond the call of duty. Liked him a lot. The show was very good - it's transmitted tomorrow (Sat).

And that's it for today, and indeed probably the next week or so. As I have already informed you I am on the road from tomorrow (despite not really knowing where I am going or what time I have to be there as nobody seems to want to tell me - oh hang on - getting a text - yep there's tomorrows address - how fucking weird is that? Just as I mention it!) and it's looking very unlikely indeed that I'm going to be anywhere that I can get online.

In case you care - this is where I am going:

Sat 23 - York St Johns University

Sun & Mon - Private stressing and thinking time, probably in Blackpool (if anyone is up that way, give me a ring and we can go to the fair or something)

Tues 26 - Harper Adams Freshers Ball (joy)

Weds 27 - Paisley University (SO far away...)

Thurs 28 - Stratford-upon-Avon (fuck knows where - Adam Montgomery booked me, must remember to call him and check)
Fri 29 - Krater, Brighton (compere - already excited)

Sat 30 - EDComedy, London (compere - ditto above)

And that's me.

Spare me a thought - whilst you're out enjoying yourself I'll probably be sleeping in the car dreaming about you.

Till we meet again (next week some time) - farewell xx
