Anyone setting out in show-biz will dream of seeing their name in lights. On Broadway, the West-End, a billboard… The Comedy Store in London doesn’t have a thrilling Front of House… But for comics, it remains the club to play and the benchmark we set ourselves with the five show weekend including two late shows….
From Edinburgh to Farnham and St.Martin’s Hall… I imagine that there are theatres in Farnham but for comics not booked on the telly – you take your venues as you find em… A local nursery venue by day – and a comedy club by night. No green room. No kudos. A mic from PC World…
Over the weekend, Sam and Harry shared with us some anecdotes of their world trip that they took together earlier this year – organised by Harry and paid for by mum and dad – and with ample spending money for them to have fun, remain fed and watered and see them both safely home. On…

Any stand up worth his salt will tell you that material goes out of date and needs to be dropped. Some routines just become stale. Others become clichéd and feel generic and some are outdone by technology. For years I relied heavily on my fax routine until the internet came along and saw it off….
A big fight this weekend and an interesting one for all sorts of reasons. Firstly, two white men contesting the heavy weight championship of the world. When was the last time this happened – Rocky III aside? One of the boxers is British – a man called Tyson Fury – from an Irish traveller background…
As we get older we tend to develop idiosyncrasies. I do anyway and one of mine is a phobia of mail. The kind that drops on our mat I mean and not in to our in-box. This might be for many reasons. That I don’t receive cheques anymore? Or that I am obviously on various…
Traffic is normally a bad thing and why we have apps to avoid it. Unless we have a blog of course, whereupon traffic is the Holy Grail. On-line – traffic is success and means sales and income. And as the owner of a website and blog, I find myself with a unique opportunity being the…
