Below is an excerpt from my book Eclipsed – and why I reproduce it now becomes obvious to any people who read this full post. It’s not very long and it’s funny, trust me. And its laughs on me…

That Friday feeling on this sunny day… 07/07/2017
Last night I did a lovely Edinburgh preview of my show, Eclipsed in Lewes.

This morning I am walking my son’s dog, Tess – because he is busy in LA with some film or other being premiered.

Welcome to the most important and exciting post I have written for this site…
Exciting not just because today is 28th June 2017 – which happens to be the World Premiere of Spider-Man Homecoming in LA with the entire cast and crew attending along with most of the Holland family – including two grannies and a granddad.

Nikki and Paddy are LA bound for a certain world premiere – while, Sam completes his A Levels and I drew the short straw to stay with him.

Doing what I do, I get to meet lots of interesting people – and even more so these days being the father of a certain son.
This week I had lunch with a brain surgeon. Well, when I say ‘I’, I mean that I was one of a hundred and twenty people but he and I were on the top table and opposite each other and we immediately bonded.

Hottest day of the year and so great training for Edinburgh – and this evening I run out my set for the first time at Chesham Comedy Club – and I am feeling oddly relaxed about the whole thing.

Today I am alerted by an excited mate to a feature today in a newspaper with some inaccuracies but I will confine myself here to the only subject on which I am a world authority and expert, me…

On my to a gig in bonnie Scotland this evening, I have stopped off in Edinburgh to visit my venue for the imminent Edinburgh festival – the Voodoo Rooms Ballroom. A beautiful ballroom in a lovely old bar complex and certainly accessible and easy for people to find – being a minutes walk from the Apple store.
