Thanks to all the folks that came to the Edinburgh Festival show at The Stand - it would have been much less fun without you. Hopes are that something along the same lines will happen next August with a new hour. Very limited bookings for festivals and other events can be made through my agent whose details can be found elsewhere.
Recent festival appearances have included Cambridge Wordfest and Edinburgh International Book Festival with "Up" - a themed show on the writing life." By the way the "elsewhere" link seems to have gone invisible against the red background.

Here's a link to a recording of "Terror: The Pocket- Sized Guide" made in The Stand comedy club on August 26th, 2007. Apologies for the poor quality sound - it was the best we could do at the time - with thanks to The Stand and all the best to all who came and made it fun.

 

Stand up

Laughing may be the best medicine. Or a medicine. A controlled substance… Anyway…it certainly passes the time and distracts you from that whole "certain death at the end of it all" side of things. You'll find a link here that allows you to listen to "Terror: the Pocket-Sized Guide" which was my last Edinburgh Fringe Show, courtesy of the excellent people at The Stand comedy club. The sound quality isn't the finest you'll hear – no budget - and there's an amount of intro and outro music, on either side of the talking part. Feel free to enjoy.

The whys and wherefores of the move into comedy have been discussed more than endlessly, so let us just say that sometimes it's necessary to run away and join the circus - it replaces around 15% of the Funny I no longer have and means I meet a better class of person - as you will see here in the photograph of myself standing beside  that fine gentleman Mr. Simon Munnery.

Time is limited and it's the book writing that pays the rent, but all bookings for gigs will be considered. You can contact my agent whose details are elsewhere on ths site. Details for The Stand may be found below.

Meanwhile I can recommend sitting in a darkened room, listening to Bruce Springsteen’s “We Shall Overcome” and alternating DVD’s of “Loose Change” and “Doctor Who” – it won’t keep you sane but may make it hurt less.

Below are listed links to some political sites that I find interesting and/or informative. Given that the mainstream press are, at best, a shameful failure and, at worst, complicit in war crimes and crimes against humanity, you may be interested in other sources of information. Blessings upon your house, either way – but get in quick before they start restricting access. And feel free to get in touch with sites you’ve found useful
