So, there seems to be a little catching up to do after my brief stint using this platform to write my fucking memoirs...
Here is the catching up from the last few weeks, done as briefly as possible (I'll be leaving out gigs that were run of the mill):
1. Performed at the "Railway" in Winchester to the nicest audience I have stood in front of for as long as I can remember. It is a brilliant night, full of intelligent people, and I couldn't recommend it more strongly to acts. It will remind you why you do comedy and make you drive home happy. Details at www.myspace.com/touchus.
2. I have fainted once and nearly fainted another two times (both last night actually). I must remind you that I am not a girl so this is particularly appalling. You know you are in trouble when you ask a complete stranger for help as I did when I properly went - I don't think I have ever felt so pathetic without caring.
3. Performed at the Guildhall in Gloucester. Weird but very enjoyable gig. Spent a great deal of the evening trying to find out from the audience just what it was about me that encouraged them to heckle (very good-naturedly I should stress). The best anyone could come up with was "that I was short".
4. Did three castings - none of which I have heard back from so can probably safely assume by now that they were unsuccessful. The feedback to my manager from the BBC about one of them said there may be a problem because I was "too tall". That comment is worth me not getting the job and a perfectly adequate, if overly delayed, response to the bloke in the audience at Gloucester.
5. Been very random with my fluoxetine tablet taking which is stupid but I keep forgetting. I had my lowest night in a long time when I got back from my gig last night which may have jolted me into attention and put me back on track. Well I say that, but I've just realised that I didn't take it today again...
6. Started to break the back of the writing project I am working on with Steve Morrison, and it's really beginning to take shape and become almost exciting. I feel like a tease by not giving any details about this but it is confidential and would be an easily nickable idea. Plus you probably don't care enough for me to explain any deeper anyway, now that you have the useless information of the history of Big And Daft fresh in your minds.
7. I have played my PSP a LOT, got up to date with my dvd watching (last night watched "An evening with Kevin Smith 2" which I think is only available on region one at the minute but well worth the punt if you have the capability), I have more than doubled my Star Wars Kotobukiya figure collection (they are about fifteen inches high and expensive but beautiful mini statues - particularly the C-3PO and R2-D2 one that I cannot take my eyes off) and got a bluetooth headset which - like all people when they first get bluetooth - I am wearing ALL the time (even in bed).
And that's about everything of any note. I was going to tell you about the Oxford Gong Show (run by the Free Beer Show) that I compered last night, but have now decided to award it a post to itself tomorrow rather than clumping it in here with this one.
Apologies for the sporadic and disparate nature of this post but it was just me clearing out my intray so I can start afresh next time.
Hope all that personal info keeps the stalkers happy.
