I've been enjoying Small Prophets on a number of levels. Firstly, I'm really enjoying the writing and the performances. Secondly, and this is probably quite a personal one for me - I've enjoyed seeing people with the surnames 'Butt' and 'Cox' next to each other in the credits.

Just put new strings on my baritone ukulele, and wanted to test 'em out, so I thought I'd perform this song in a different key to usual. It's been quite popular on Facebook. Make of that what you will.

Anyway - onto more interesting matters. I got to the end of the audiobook of 'Becoming Johnny Vegas' and I cannot tell you how much I loved it. I can't recommend it enough - even if his comedy isn't your cup of tea. It'll surprise you - in a good way.

Man, we had a lovely day at Leicester Comedy Festival today. Two packed out shows, new stuff tried, nearly all of it 'worked', lots of laughter, a bit of ranting about this and that, and we finally sold the last of our 2025 t-shirts. And I was home in time to have a nice glass of wine with my wife.

Had a creatively 'interesting' day or so. Yesterday I wrote a GREAT chord progression. Mad, jazzy chords but it just WORKED. Just before I went to bed, I realised that it's the intro to 'Plush' by Stone Temple Pilots.
Today I wrote a seemingly throwaway line for our new show that I LOVE.

Pisses me right off that it just takes ONE grail to get ideas above its station and suddenly nobody has any time for any *normal* grails any more.

I haven't even watched this yet, but I'm fairly sure it will improve your day. And I'm all about day-improvement.

Look, I hate to do this, but if you're at a loose end on Sunday, at around 13:30 and - this is a crucial one - you happen to be in Leicester - you could come and see us performing what's been described as 'musical comedy'.
No worries if not. x

Spent a large proportion of the drive home from last night's gig trying to remember the name of the 90s sitcom, featuring Samantha Janus and... some men, and had a theme tune that was... dammit... not 'Hey Jealousy' by the Gin Blossoms, but... kind of like it.
It just came to me out of nowhere:

If you're coming to see one of our shows in Leicester at the weekend, here's a sneaky peek at the first part of the show. Feel free to imagine what each of those titles refers to.

Until recently, I thought that 'Cardi B' meant Alan, Jack and Aisling.

I listen to quite a lot of audio books (and read quite a lot of - erm - visual books(?!)) but it's pretty rare that I stumble upon one that's as beautifully written and performed as 'Becoming Johnny Vegas'. I'm currently on chapter five and I want it to go on forever. It's properly astonishing.

Last night, after our show a couple of ladies came up to us and enthusiastically told us "You've managed to make ukuleles seem sexy!". I was flattered, but now I'm wondering if they meant *by comparison* - like you might say to Nadine Dorries "You've managed to make this fig-roll seem intelligent".
