Went to see Richard Herring and Russell Kane at the Happy Mondays comedy club with S. last night. She's very stressed, but seemed to enjoy the evening. We finished with chips from Paul McCartney's favourite New Cross chip shop (apparently) - Sirius Fish and Chips.
I liked Herring's performance - recognised much of it from the podcast Collings and Herrin. S. preferred Kane - his white boy from outer London council estate and abusive dad material struck a chord with her. She was less impressed with Herring, and she could be right. Hering's summing up was feeble - fascism is bad - although many of his routines are very funny - not a million miles from Stewart Lee's style (if you saw the recent tv series) which is probably not too surprising.
This is my main blog - it's been going since 2004. It was originally my personal diary but has expanded to something more sophisticated, thanks to Blogger. Most articles on this site are unfinished and remain so. I am trying very very hard to change this! I have a sidebar on the right - please scroll down - full great web sites, articles, podcasts, etc. The tone of this blog is mostly unfocussed, and long may it remain so...
