  In the last couple of weeks Patrick McGoohan, Tony Hart and Ricardo Montelban off of Fantasy Island and a couple of the Planet of the Apes movies have all scuttled off this mortal coil. This comes mere weeks after the sad death of Oliver Postgate. Now the world of Television is in a much poorer [...]

  I got through to Quarter Finals of the Laughing Horse New Act of the Year again this year. It’s as far as I got last year. Can I do better this year? Probably not, but why not come along on Monday 9th March to find out. But seriously folks if any of you would like [...]

Promise. Instead tonight I will be going to this and [...]

  If you ever find yourself late at night in a KFC and you wonder whether to get two or three pieces of chicken to go with your Colonel’s Meal, remember that two pieces of chicken is plenty-much.

  Seven Pounds

  01.09.09 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  Today I saw a poster on the side of a double-decker for the intriguing new Will Smith movie Seven Pounds. Now London buses have a big bolt in the side of them. They always have. Despite this the designers of these advertisements always seem unaware of this and often have an important bit of the [...]

  OK this is going to be confusing so hold tight. My gig that I listed as being on Friday (9th January) at Comedy at the Metro – Jokes from the Underground was in fact due to take place yesterday (6th January). I got the date wrong, however that gig was then postponed to next Tuesday. [...]
