		<title>You can&#8217;t handle the truth!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Don&#8217;t worry.  I&#8217;ve not turned into Jack Nicholson in &#8220;A few good men&#8221;.  To be honest, if I was to turn into any Jack Nicholson it would be Jack Nicholson in &#8220;One flew over the cuckoo&#8217;s nest&#8221;.  Of course I&#8217;d prefer to be Helen Mirren in REDS but it seems Jack Nicholson is my only option.
You may be wondering why I&#8217;ve called you all here tonight.  To be honest,  it&#8217;s just a way of collating information so that I don&#8217;t annoy you all by tweeting or facebooking random self promotion.  I know people get annoyed by that.   But if ...]]></description>

		<title>If you want to see me in the flesh.  Not in a creepy way &#8211; updated!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello
I don’t want to clog up your Facebook/twitter feeds with random updates about what I’m doing when there are funny videos of cats to watch, but some people have asked where they can see me perform live.  So here are some dates if you, or anyone you know, fancies coming to see me in the flesh. So to speak.
General comedy fun
 
I MC a lot at the Stand Comedy Clubs in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Newcastle.  If you check their listings I pop up once a month or so.
I also gig around the country &#8211; I tend to tweet about gigs ...]]></description>

		<title>All I want for Christmas &#8211; are the same rights as you.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m not one to make a fuss about things.
Actually. That’s a lie. And as President Nixon always told me when we were sailing in New England, never start a blog with a lie.
To be honest I have been known to make a fuss about SOME things, about CERTAIN things, about IMPORTANT things that make me nervous.  Let me explain.  If you’ve ever watched the classic TV series “Lost in Space” or the 1998 remake starring Matt Le Blanc (less successful but still a good sci fi romp) you’ll know that there was a robot in it.  To be specific, according ...]]></description>

		<title>Mock the Week and other matters of State</title>
		<description><![CDATA[WARNING.  THIS BLOG CONTAINS BAD LANGUAGE, MILD FEMINISM AND REFERENCE TO SCOTTISH PEOPLE.
The women in comedy argument has recently reared it’s permed head again with regard to the diversity, or otherwise, on television with Mock the Week being singled out for criticism. To be honest the most annoying thing about the debate this time is that absolutely no one has asked my opinion on it.  Seriously.  I live for these arguments.  I do nothing all day apart from watch hospital based soap operas, or documentaries about the police or customs officials in New Zealand.  If people don’t ask me about ...]]></description>

		<title>Decisions, Decisions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First of all, hello.  I don’t know who you are, although we may have met at some point. Or perhaps we are simply internet friends. Or perhaps you have found this blog due to the careful placing of words like “sexy girls in your area” and “money for nothing” and “cash for gold”.  If it’s the latter you should perhaps leave now.  This isn’t the blog you’re looking for.
I should say I don’t blog often.  Sorry, I should correct myself.  I don’t publish blogs often.  I write a lot of blogs but often delete them for fear that I may ...]]></description>

		<title>How was your Edinburgh?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m sitting in the spare room of my friend’s flat in Leith pondering the end of the festival.  The very fact that I’m doing this is one of the loveliest parts of what can be a difficult month.  Louise and Niall took me in like the waif that I am when I had no where else to stay. And it’s quite an ask.  For those who don’t know, comedians during the festival can react like trapped badgers at the slightest startle, leading to flatshares which can be akin to the vortex at the end of the Adventure Game. But with ...]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s like Top Trumps!  With comedians</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know the song &#8220;Bette Davis eyes&#8221;?  No?  How old are you?  You aren’t my demographic.  Seriously.  Have you heard of the Indigo Girls?  Never mind.
Anyway the song Bette Davis eyes is amazing but more importantly has a chorus about having Bette Davis eyes.  Not her eyes specifically but eyes that look like her eyes.  The reason I mention it is a) to weed out readers and b) because this time next week the Edinburgh Festival will have started.  It is during the magical month of August that I will encounter hundreds of fellow comics who will have “Edinburgh Festival ...]]></description>
