My first DVD.

Well here it is, My first ever live performance on DVD. I promised you my stand up and i delivered. The video is in two parts and i would like to thank everyone who came and supported me. You were all brilliant and without you known of this would have been possible. Also a thank you to Tim and Rich who made this video possible.

If you were not able to make it on Sunday then please watch my video and leave me some comments, any feedback is appreiciated.

Well here goes nothing and for the final time, if you are easily offended , then this isnt really for you

 

and part two

Thank you all again so much for watching, i hope that this isnt the last you will see of me on stage or DVD.

Well well last night…..

Well the countdown is over, the night arrived and I must say I was so nervous all of yesterday, In can’t believe that I have done it, my first proper gig , in front of paying customers! , the whole evening was a success, from start to finish. I was on towards the end of the variety show. I was very worried i must tell you, the show was reaching the last half hour and the crowd had started to lose a bit of effort.

Everything from Perverts to Barack Obama, nothing was off limits. I must also use this blog to ask anyone who came last night, if they would like to write a review I would be very interested to read it. 

Well I wont ruin it for you, but I will tell you that I will have the live 10 mintue slot, on this very blog Wednesday morning. I would like to take this chance to say thank you to everyone involed, but a special mention to Richard Bishop and Tim Robinson , who were my film crew for the evening.

I will be back on stage soon , but please leave me some comments on my video , because without you laughing at me, I cant be a success. So if you dont like a joke , tell me.

I will also warn everyone two days in advance, my video is very offensive and also contains bad language from the start. You have been warned.

Carr in trouble for his ‘shannonigans’

I really should have mentioned this is my last post, but Alan Carr made a name for himself on Saturday night , but for all the wrong reasons, the gooffy comic has been branded ‘sick’ for dedicating his award for best comedy personality to Karen Matthews.

Apparently his joke was poorly timed after the mother of Shannon Matthews was only sentenced last week.

When collecting his award the comic said that he had originally planned his Celebrity Ding Dong sketch to feature rough women not fashionistas.

“It didn’t work out because they couldn’t cast it. I suppose it is a bit difficult to find rough women. I suppose Shannon Matthew’s mum was busy,” he said.

“Oh yeah, she would be my dream guest. I think she’s a gay icon. People like a bit of rough don’t they?”

Carr added: “I must be obsessed with her actually if you look at my Google searches. So I should dedicate this award to her.”

I am sorry , but i know what he said was in poor taste but he is a comedian, he is there to push the envelope, to make people laugh and I am certain that he meant no harm in his comment. It seems since that phone call, everything that comics say and do is being watched and anyone who slips is being punished, I would like to take this chance to say that comics in the 70′s and 80′s were a lot worse. Nothing was off limits.

Alan has done the right thing in saying sorry, because he is not a horrible person and he would like to have a career , i mean for heaven’s sake he had just won an award! But i just wish that some people would jump off this band wagon and start realising that their is nothing wrong with a good laugh.

P.S tell me anything he said that was that offensive other than to a woman who has just been found guilty for kidnapping her own daughter.

The British comedy awards….Oh Alan!

Well last saturday saw the most important night in the comedy calender, the British comedy awards. The evening that brings together and celebrates the best that Britain and the world has to offer in terms of comedy.

 The night was hosted by Angus Deayton after Jonathan Ross pulled out because of him and Russell’s famous phone call. I must say that i am a massive fan of these nights, the chance to see so many comedians in one room is incredible and it is somewhere that I would love to be in a few years time.

The only problem that i had with the whole evening was the host, Angus in my opinion has become almost wooden and boring in his style of joke telling. I know that he is meant to come across as very dry and sarcastic, but i personally feel that after all the hassle that British comedy has been through, we needed to see someone up there who could make everyone laugh and feel good about the array of talent.

Instead we had Angus making guest hosts looking stupid and making you almost cringe everytime he opened his mouth.

Mention of the night had to go to Russell Brand , who wasnt at the awards but instead was working with Adam Sandler in America on their new movie  ‘Bedtime stories’ , who during his speech for his award for best stand up, thanked Jonathan Ross, the room laughed but i think it was more a polite chuckle followed by a room wide groan.

Well here at student giggles, i wanted to bring you the list of the winners:
