Cleanse, tone, moisturise then @xsmalarkey.com. The only routine that counts.
A lot of people saw this guy perform on stage for £3 last night.
James Acaster and I were also on the bill.
You really need to make @xsmalarkey.com part of your routine : I think we do a pretty damned good job of this comedy lark.
