I’m back and it’s not a repeat…

For months and months I have been paying for hosting this and email services, while being totally fucking lazy when it comes to making any sort of contribution to my blog. Apparently if I am going to get anyone to read this I have to make regular posts so that people get to read them. This is often particularly difficult when nothing really of consequence happens in your day and the most exciting thing was that you had managed to fill your Cafe Nero loyalty card and got a free cappuccino .

I have in fact been up to something really rather jolly exciting and that’s that I did my first stand-up comedy spot. This was all thanks to an old friend of mine making me do it and the X-Foundation who gave me the opportunity, all the name of charity I hasten to add. Although this was a side issue as the point of this was totally self-serving and I was completely out for myself.

After several weeks of tutoring by Chris Head, myself and nine others were ready, willing and armed mostly with wank gags. We did not learn of the line up until an hour before the show and true to my prediction I was up first. Just as well cos it meant that I could spend the rest of the evening tucking into the rider and getting shitfaced. Unbelievably, it went better than expected. They laughed in all the right places, a couple of lines got applause (I have given knob-cheese a brand name) and I even got some ad libs in.

This all left me with rather an odd feeling. Apparently this is called pride. Ms Rant introduced me to it, as she is one those mouthy Australian people they are apparently quite used to it. All that is required now is to prove myself to a room of complete strangers who are pissed up and ready to shout at me for no apparent reason. Provisionally that’s February 11, 2010 at the King’s Head, Crouch End. Let’s hope they are smegma friendly.
