Really good gig, but a strange room - in the foyer of the theatre, its like playing to two different rooms...friendly staff - kept bringing me cups of tea, and a Lemsip - had a bit of a sniffle.
Fri 2nd - Windsor Arts Centre
Tiny room...front row was taken up by nine very attractive women - well done for Windsor.
Sun 4th - Warwick Uni
Very sweet audience that stared at me - I signed a guy's T-Shirt.
Sat 10th - Raynes Park
Tried out a magic trick where an audience member just thinks of a card, and I produce the chosen card from my wallet. He chose the 9 of spades I produced the 10 of spades. Wrong by one. Damn.
Thu 15th - Chelmsford
I was being filmed for a new concept media idea of putting comedy in pubs, without the 'live' comedians. Was on first so the audience was warming. I'm sure we can slide the laugh volume up in the edit. Tried my magic trick out again and got it spot on.
Fri 16th - Walton-on-Thames
Very, very enjoyable room to play. The sound guy was a good bloke. He had to move the PA system around just before opening. He still mucked up one sound cue, but hey...
Fri 16th - Reading
Rushed from Walton to Reading. Got there just in time to be funny. I was funny.
Sat 17th - The Bearcat St Margarets
My friend Kim came to see me. The audience were good but I felt a bit sticky. I did well, just felt a little sticky.
Thu 22nd - Leeds Jongleurs
Lovely, although it took me 6 and a half hours to get there.
Fri 23rd - Leeds Jongleurs
Staying at my brother's. Took me 10 minutes to get there. Lovely.
Sat 24th - Leeds Jongleurs Early Show
Audience was a bit unfocused. Not so lovely.
Sat 24th - The Hi Fi Leeds
Gig came in at the last minute. Ran there, set up, was packed solid, twenty blokey booze hounds had already been thrown out, lots of people standing, craning their necks, was a grand gig, very enjoyable.
Sat 24th - Leeds Jongleurs Late Show
Ran back to Jongleurs for what could have been a rowdy late show but they were better than the early show. Three shows, pretty knackered. Went back to my brother's and my twin brother was there too. We sat up all night and brothered.
Sun 25th - Leeds Jongleurs
Usually a quieter gig, with less people in the audience, but was sold out with a student Christmas party. They were young and some were wearing hats. A bit fractured but fun.
Thu 29th - Cardiff Glee
A joy.
Fri 30th - Cardiff Glee
Another joy.

I wish I had known you were in Chiswick. I would have tried to come along and support.
Chiswick not far from Hammersmith as you probably know. Anyway, I think you said it was a private "do" although you could have said we were your aunt and uncle or something.
