Alternatively, if you’re an EU national, here’s a chance to see how well you’ve integrated into the British way of thinking. The 10 Tell-Tale Signs You Are British Whenever you enter a hotel room for the first time, you […]

10 Things Not to Say to a Stand Up Comedian

This list is not exhaustive by any means but here are some common topics to avoid when talking to a stand up comedian. On no account tell us a joke. It’s bound to be one that’s been doing the rounds for years; we – along with everyone else – will have heard it before; it’s […]

MY Comic Life – Mugger Destroying Mothers, Proud Scottish Fathers, Delusion & Outlander

In comedy you tend to exaggerate for comedic effect. However, when it comes to my parents, if anything, I underplay it. If I saw my father and mother depicted on TV, I’d roll my eyes and think it a terrible, clichéd portrayal of a pair of Scots. I then would have to do a double […]

Unfortunately a dental emergency scuttles my plans to gig in salubrious Stockport! Got quite a few gigs come in which […]
