The Dirty Bristow Summer Fête

By Tom Lennon ⋅ August 2, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Dirty Bristow- the magazine with no ads, no rules and no objections to publishing stuff by me – will be having a launch party at The Edge in Digbeth on Saturday August 28th. There’s all sorts of strange, summer fête-themed shenanigans lined up for the night as well as live music and comedy (with yours [...]

Last night

Courtesy of my good friend Mr Pete Ashton, here’s an audio of my first ever stand-up comedy gig from last night. Tom Lennon’s First Standup from Pete Ashton on Vimeo. (This, of course, means I’ll now have to write fresh material)

On the subject of writing stuff and being funny

Update: there’s been a change of venue for the Sunday night stand-up comedy show. I’m just awaiting final confirmation and will update the details ASAP. I’ve been a bit quiet as of late due to a couple of reasons. Firstly, I’ve been writing an article for a new magazine that my pals Jon Bounds and [...]

The Secret World

By Tom Lennon ⋅ April 22, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

Radio 4′s The Secret World is billed as a ‘comedy series that offers an insight into the private lives of the famous’, but don’t let that rather off-putting description put you off. Pitching its tent somewhere between Radio 4 classic Dead Ringers and Chris Morris’ sublime mongfest, Blue Jam, it’s anthracite dark funny stuff that [...]

Nyman

While we’re on the subject of the Latitude Festival (and, let’s face it, I have been banging on a bit about it as of late), I was pleased to see that the minimalist composer Michael Nyman (he of The Piano soundtrack fame) will be “curating a programme specifically for the intimate environment of the Music [...]

Latitude

By Tom Lennon ⋅ April 9, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s early days yet, but the line-up for this year’s Latitude Festival is already shaping up rather nicely. As I’ve probably mentioned before, Latitude 2007 was one of my favourite festivals ever (and that includes Glastonbury ’97). A great location, a brilliant atmosphere, a nice mix of people, a relatively intimate scale, a welcome lack [...]

"No Soup for You!"

By Tom Lennon ⋅ January 4, 2008 ⋅ One comment

One of my favourite Christmas presents this year was the Season 7 DVD box set of the classic 90s American comedy series Seinfeld. I say “Christmas present”, but I actually bought it for myself. ‘Twas the weekend before Christmas and – after spending a day spending my money on family and friends – I felt [...]
