Now You Don't See It.


I don’t know what it is that’s making just a single couple tend to turn up to see my show so frequently but it happened again today, though this time they decided against watching it on their own, which is completely understandable, and not something I’d do myself anyway, other than yesterday when the gig started with one of my flyerers in too.

Unfortunately, today ended up being another no-show day, which was a shame, but such is life when you start at midday; a couple did come along, though they snuck off when they realised they were the only ones and who can blame them; not that I would have performed the show to just the two of them as it would have been too intense.

Once I’d packed down my gear I nipped home for a shower and then on to the station to meet my wife, who’s up until Sunday. The route to the station was packed with the usual dawdlers with no spacial awareness who spread out across the pavement when you’re trying to sneak past, or stand on both sides of the escalator. My tolerance for this sort of thing is low at the best of the times, but is magnified against the backdrop of the Fringe where you’re always trying to get somewhere a little further away than you’d like in next- to-no time; at least I knew I’d see my wife at the end of the aggravating journey.

We popped into the lovely café Levels that I frequented reqularly last year for a quick cup of tea before heading back to the digs and then on to Assembly to see my friend Glen’s show (which was a lot of fun). Now I’m unfeasibly more knackered so I should go to bed or I'll never catch up on myself...

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 ...
