Gigging Down Under

Having recently come back from gigging in Australia, I am happy to confirm that Australia is far too far away. Moreover, I found out too late that the secret to long haul flights is to divide the journey up and stop over somewhere. I also found out too late that my chair reclined – 13 […]

The Upside of Being a Support Act

Being a support act seems to be a rite of passage for some comedians; that first step before you take the plunge and go on tour yourself. It showcases you to a bigger audience, although there is always the danger, particularly if the comedian you are supporting is a major star, that you walk on […]

Semi Lockdown Life of a London Singleton – Week 12

At times, it’s fair to say I sometimes wonder if I’m a character in a sitcom and I just don’t know it. A case in point this week was when I had to explain to my neighbour who had kindly offered to paint my window ledges for me why I had a blow up doll […]

MY Comedy Chats

In an attempt to bring you comedy online without having the poor comic stare down the lens of a camera to utter silence, last week saw the launch of MY Comedy Chats – a cross between stand up and chat show. It’s wasn’t the most auspicious of starts. About an hour and a half before […]

Lockdown Life of a London Singleton – Week 8

Uri Geller-Style Accident while Exercising, Bailey’s & a Lot Less Drama (thank goodness) Fortunately, this week proved less eventful than last week. Mind you, it turns out that if you are able to promote your blog by mentioning you went to A&E with a suspected heart attack, you do end up with a lot more […]

Lockdown Life of a London Singleton – Week 5

Radio Shows, Eclectic Music Tastes & What to Do Next? Besides spending over 7 hours a day on my phone and eating my body weight in chocolate, I managed to fit in enough time to chat to Judi Love on her Sunday morning show on BBC Radio London and Emma-Jane Taylor otherwise known as The […]

MY Comic Life – Operations, Morphine & Pulling Gigs

Recently comedy took a backseat thanks to an infected abscess which led to an unexpected stay in hospital and an operation under general anaesthetics. This mini misadventure highlighted several things for me: the NHS is bloody fantastic; there is generally no time off in comedy: and when push comes to shove the comedy world is […]

10 Ways I Survived the Edinburgh Fringe Festival

This year was the first time I’d taken a show up for the entire run of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and, to be perfectly frank, I wasn’t looking forward to it. To be even franker, I was dreading it. For those of you not in the know, the Edinburgh Fringe is where hundreds of comics […]
