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.

Prison is no joke

Saw this story and it made me smile: 

The comedy classes were said to boost team work The justice minister has ordered the cancellation of a comedy workshop for prisoners at a top security jail. The course, which started on Monday at Whitemoor Prison in Cambridgeshire, was supposed to run for eight days. Jack Straw, Secretary of State for Justice, described the course as “totally unacceptable”. “Senior managers in the prison service, who were also unaware of the course, take the same view as me,” Mr Straw added in a statement. ‘Ramifications outside’ Comedy classes, which organisers say boost team work and communication skills, have been available at the prison since 1998. Mr Straw said: “Prisons should be places of punishment and reform, and providing educational, training and constructive pursuits is an essential part of this. “But the types of courses available, and the manner in which they are delivered must be appropriate in every prison. “What happens inside the prison gates has ramifications outside, on victims and their families, and on taxpayers. “There is a crucial test: can the recreational, social and educational classes paid for out of taxpayers’ money (or otherwise) be justified to the community?”

Breaking news…… well not really

First of all an apology, i have not had chance to update my blog in a while, i have been so busy trying to sort out my stand up and my course that i havent stopped by, well here i am and may i start with the good news, the stand up gig has been moved back a week. Thats right after all the nerves and excitment i was told that my services wont be needed for another week. 

This of course is great news, i was confident that if i was needed on the 29th i could have been, but it has been changed to the 7th december. So still buy your tickets for what will be a great night. 

I have now been writing for the last couple of weeks and have about 15 minutes of new material, but i wont ruin it for anyone , you will just have to wait for the big night.

I just sat there waiting to laugh….

I have now had this blog running for a week and i have released that to make it in the blogging world that you need to have a story to tell so that people are interested in what you have to say. You have to be able to make people laugh or cry and really get emotions going. I also realise that this will be very difficult as my blog is about comedians so making you cry would be the exact opposite of what i am going for.

I thought that as this is still early in the blog and i dont really have the confidence to go break the moulds with my amazing stories that i would just give you an idea of the kind of things and people that make me laugh and the things and people that dont.  I love jokes that make you think but i love just saying what is on your mind, i love dry humour but love stupid humour just as much. I love jokes that make the audience laugh and then go ooooooooo as they realise they shouldnt have laughed.

Now what i am about to write is going to cause problems for me and i dont care as it needs to be said, the mighty boosh is NOT let me repeat that for effect NOT funny! It is awfully written and i would only laugh at it if i was stoned. It is not hard to write a mighty boosh joke, here goes:

“o right well i have the badger of dreams and he lives in the jellybaby castle and looks like Grace Jones.”

Now see what i have done here to make this joke is take an animal an object a food and a place , then made them a bit random by adding a stupid description.

I know that i have gone on a bit of a rant there but i am bored of people telling me that it is the best comedy ever. nothing is funny about a talking moon or someone drinking baileys from a shoE??

Anyway , i will leave it there for today as i feel that my rant may go on and on.
