  Went to see Ponyo (Japanese version) last night. I’d be surprised if there’s a better film out this year. Over the weekend the author Dick Francis died. Now I have no idea what I’ll buy my dad every Christmas. I recommend that everyone listens to Jarvis Cocker’s 6 music radio show. It’s ace!

  We Love Comedy

  Here’s me at We Love Comedy on Monday. It was a very nice gig with a brilliant line-up, run by comic couple Renata Muss and Sean Brightman. It wasn’t my finest hour. I was more than a little under the weather and had dosed myself on Lemsip Max Strength to get me through it. I [...]

  Just been reminded of another stereotypical Irish comedy movie courtesy of Matt Zitron. It’s 2003′s Red Roses and Petrol. This one also has the advantage of featuring many English actors putting on dreadful Irish accents. Here’s the trailer. Also on second thoughts maybe I was a bit hard on Waking Ned which is actually a [...]

  Stereotypical Irish Comedy Movies

  02.12.10 | Permalink | Comment?

  This blog was inspired by the release of the new movie Holy Water. Now I’m a big fan of stereotypical Irish comedy movies. Well, when I say “a big fan”, I mean “grimly fascinated by”, and when I say “movies” what I actually mean are “trailers”, because I honestly don’t think I sit through the [...]

  I will be doing at least one show in Edinburgh this year. It will be a mixture of sketch and stand up, or something (not that sure yet) with Tobi Wilson, and Tom Crowley. Good eggs the pair of ‘em. Together they are half of Four Sad Faces; the stars of two lovable Edinburgh Fringe [...]
