My first stand-up gig (in COLOR)

For those who like to supplement their audio with moving pictures, here's a video of my first stand-up gig from last month (my "early, funny period"). The video was recorded by my good pal Gerry Logan and - just to clarify - I'm now available for bookings.

The Difficult Second Album

Watching the video of my second stand-up gig was a painful experience. I knew before I went on stage that it wouldn't be as strong as my first set.

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 Danny Smith will be launching soon. There'll be more about that in due course, I imagine. Secondly, I've been attending a weekly stand-up comedy workshop and in a couple of weeks time will be doing my first live gig in front of an audience alongside [...]
