This is a shot taken of meĂ‚Â by one Tony Briggs – which even my wife was taken withĂ‚Â – so well done Tony, I owe you big time! If you have a need to look better than you are in real life – then get along toĂ‚Â www.tonybriggs.com
Last night I played a benefit gig at the best venue on earth – The Comedy Store – with Bill Bailey being the main draw. Mark Lammar came alongĂ‚Â to watch and there were a host of other comics from yesteryear – which was all very warm and nostalgic. But what struck me – was…
Off to a gig yesterday in Devon – so a round-trip 9 hour drive ahead of me, I was anxious to make tracks – only for the heavens to open and my eldest son Tom ask for a lift. To where? The cinema. I’m taking Paddy to see Thor. Paddy is Tom’s youngest brother. I…
Self help books anyone? I’ve got through many in my time andĂ‚Â anyone who has read Eclipsed will understand why. It seems to me thatĂ‚Â all self-help books are based on the same central premise. That we areĂ‚Â a factor of our own thoughts. What we think of ourselves is what will transpire in our lives –…
I have been partial to a bit of self-help over the years and have shelled out much change seeking the ultimate alchemy. Jimmy Carr put me on to NLP and others have recommended their personal favourites… My latest acquisition is The Book of Afformations by Noah St. John. I came to the book by accident….
I am frequently asked theĂ‚Â question… What is it like having four boys? Answer – loud, messy, fewer straight edges than we would like, ‘whose is this sock?’, ‘turn that down’, ‘be quiet’, ‘don’t be rude…’ But the Holland household is best summed up by this very short video below.

Brilliant – tomorrow I have a casting for a commercial – whichĂ‚Â is particularly exciting because I haveĂ‚Â read the brief and I am perfect – ‘a likeable fun dad’ – come on – I was born to play this role. But then I see the name of the casting director and suddenly I am less excited…
An exciting day ahead for Mrs H as she spends the day on a film set watching her eldestĂ‚Â son, Tom – and I should imagine she might keep an eye out for Chris Hemsworth as well. Then this afternoon and evening,Ă‚Â Tom is due at Bafta on Piccadilly. I’m not entirely sure why. He has been…
I was an open spot at the time and Felix was already a thoroughbred comic. A headliner and circuit star. Playing all the clubs and always closing. Cleaning up as we say. I loved his act. A well spokenĂ‚Â and ultra cool black guy. He always wore cool clothes. He was tall and too handsome to…
