Greetings from East London
Just getting ready to get the train to Birmingham. Figured it was as good a time as any to drop a line. The problem is that nothing that interesting has happened to me that is really good for writing. Had a lovely flight and a lovely evening with Linda and now she is at work and I am packing. Ain't the comedy life exciting. Well I won't bore you with the rest. I got a new phone which should help to get more low quality pictures onto the blog.
I hate doing gigs in the UK to be honest with you. I just hate all the waiting around in British cities that are all the same. They all have the same shops and all have the same pedestrianised streets. You go to Costa Coffee and read the Guardian. Then you go and buy a t shirt or something in TK Max just to pass the time. Sometimes you go to the cinema on your own and always forget to specify that you don't want sweet popcorn. Then you go back to your room and eat takeaway chinese and wait till its time to go to the gig and watch the other English hacks bang out the same shit they have been doing for years. Plus they have better gigs than me which makes it worse. But don't get me wrong I am not in a bad mood.
Positivity is just not interesting really.

Hi Des
Sorry I didn't post earlier re: your gig(s) in Kilkenny. I only got to see you once (at Hotel Kilkenny on Sunday). you were ace, star of the show, which is saying a lot coz Colin Murphy and Adam Hills were also in top form.
You made me laugh hysterically, and also packed a punch with your messages, especially regarding the referendum.
Keep it up.
When are you playing Galway again?
