Good Day (Sunshine).


Today was very enjoyable.

It’s fair to say that the day was pretty jam-packed, with myself and Glyn managing to fit a lot in. We did a live interview for Demon FM (a Leicester-based station that runs a lot of coverage on the festival.) We were booked for the duration of their drive time slot, though sadly, we didn’t impart a single bit of traffic advice during the broadcast.

It was a nice relaxed chat, spread across the two-hour programme. Both the host and the newsreader were very easy to talk to. We also chose a couple of songs each from the playlist: I opted for The Beach Boys and David Bowie, while Glyn plumped for The Spice Girls and Olly Murs; defining the disparity between our two musical tastes in a nutshell.

At six o'clock, we rushed from the studio across to our venue, where we recorded another interview for the same station, for use on their Festival podcast. Impressively, the interviewers had clearly done their research on us; it’s nice to know that we’re not the only ones who are prone to a little bit of internet stalking.

We quickly found some common ground. It certainly helped that one of them was wearing a Paul McCartney t-shirt - though I probably terrified him by being able to guess the year the picture on his chest was taken, by the length of Macca's mullet.

(Everybody’s got to have at least one special skill.)

Finally, we did our show, which went well. Our day of talking had put us in a suitably relaxed mindset for the performance.

Then we drove back to Hitchin, sorted out our stuff for tomorrow’s London Mostly Comedy – and I’m now finishing the day with a cat on my lap and a cup of camomile tea within arm's reach.

Not a bad way to draw a line under proceedings.

Have Parker from Thunderbirds and Noel Gallagher ever been seen in the same room? The resemblance is uncanny. So much so, I think something’s afoot. If my suspicions are correct, I've stumbled across a secret that will blow the music and puppet industry wide apart. In the mid-60s / mid-90s at least. It doesn’t take long to see the signposts. There’s the similarity between the name of Oasis’ first single, Supersonic, and Supermarianation, Gerry Anderson’s puppetry technique. The Gallagher brothers would often wear Parkas . Live Forever was clearly a reference to Captain Scarlet and Standing on the Shoulder of Giants to the size difference between Noel and his bandmates. The more you think about it, the more brazen it gets. It’s fishier than Area 51, Paul is Dead and JFK's assassination put together. The only glitch to the theory is scale . According to Wikipedia, Anderson’s marionettes were 1’10” and Gallagher is 5’8”. How does he maintain an illusion of avera...

Stevenage: A (Tiny) River Runs Through it.

If ever a river was mis-sold, it’s the Roaring Meg in Stevenage. I just walked past it on my way to the retail park that has taken its name. They’re similarly uninspiring. The river is less of a roar and more of a dribble; cystitis sufferers produce greater flow. The retail park is soulless. What was once a thriving enterprise is nearly devoid of atmosphere, save an underlying essence of emptiness and despair. With a Toys R Us. When it was first built I was excited. Back then, the thought of a bowling alley, an ice rink, a Harvester and a Blockbuster Video within a small surface area was enticing. I celebrated many birthdays on site. There was an indoor cricket pitch there for a while where I once had a joint party with a friend. Why someone with an almost pathological fear of sport would agree to such a venture is beyond me, but I did it. Now, there’s very little at the Roaring Meg of note. The river would be a metaphor for the shopping ce...

Hoo-ray and up She Rises.

So much has happened since my last post in March that this blog risks sounding like an itinerary. The main news is that Hitchin Mostly Comedy will return in the summer at a new venue, the Queen Mother Theatre . The road to this decision was convoluted, though enough fell into place en route to leave me optimistic about this new start. The catalyst was a survey I ran via our mailing list a few months back, in which I asked, "If the club returned in the current climate, with tickets still around £15 (and with similar line-ups), would you still attend?"; the response to which, in simple terms, was a resounding yes. Nearly 250 mailing list subscribers responded in a single week, with around a hundred also taking the option to leave some feedback. And only two people were abusive, which counts as a win when you consider they posted their comments online anonymously. Imagine how many more insults we would have received if the comedy club was a woman. Particularly if she was Diane ...
