Strictly Come Tweeting (07.11.150


Here are all of my 140-tweets character tweets about tonight’s Strictly Comedy Dancing tonight. Hopefully, you enjoy them. If not, please remember that this service is free.

6:31pm: I'll probably tweet about Strictly for a bit, but I smacked my head on a cupboard door today, so they may be a little hallucinogenic.

6:33pm: If anyone's poppy falls off, The Daily Mail will be FURIOUS.

6:36pm: Jeremy Vine's wearing Anton du Beke's Woody-from-Toy-Story outfit.

6:36pm: Janette's come as Ruth Madoc.

6:38pm: By making Janette wear Anita's Demi Moore wig, they've confirmed its tax deductibility.

6:40pm: That Dave, he's so Arch.

6:47pm: "I've been shaved by a woman."

6:52pm: If there's a camera in the room, you can guarantee that Gleb will be looking at it.

6:54pm: I knew it: Carol's a flasher.

6:59pm: Bruno's idea of constructive criticism: "BITCH, BITCH, BITCH, BITCH, BITCH (I was in the video for 'I'm Still Standing')."

7:03pm: Classic hair-styling move from Aljaž.

7:07pm: Bruno has sex for twenty-two and a half hours on an average Saturday, then presents Strictly for the remaining hour and a half.

7:13pm: Jay's resting face.

7:07pm: Bruno has sex for twenty-two and a half hours on an average Saturday, then presents Strictly for the remaining hour and a half.

7:13pm: I can't help but think we were witnessing a version of what Jay and Aliona do in a Elstree hotel room post-show.
7:19p: If you want to make Anton du Beke more irritating, put him in a straw boater.

7:29pm: Anita & Gleb are my favourites so far.
         7:29pm:Alesha Dixon at home: furious...then remembers the PRS royalties.

7:33pm: Trying to find the 'town called yesterday' Gary Barlow was talking about.

7:53pm: Hope the horse doesn't do a 'Blue Peter' on the dancefloor.

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...

Comedy That's Worth a Letch.

Today, I nipped to Letchworth to meet with illustrator (and one-time - two-time - comedy poet) Mushybees, to discuss an event Mostly Comedy will act as surrogate parents to as part of Letchworth’s Arts Takeover in a couple of weeks. Months ago he got into contact to see if we’d be up for co-organising a comedy stage as part of Letchworth’s weekend of arts-based attractions in July; something I’d provisionally said yes to, before things got hectic in the lead-up to Edinburgh and we didn’t take it any further. Despite not getting down to the nitty-gritty straight away, we managed to pull a line-up together in a back-and-forth of emails yesterday, leading to me getting Glyn’s blessing and us deciding we’d officially go ahead with it (whatever ‘officially’ means in this context). In reality, it’s not complicated: from 12pm until 6pm-ish on the 22 nd July, Glyn, Mushybees and I will host four Edinburgh previews from four acts (including me), before Nor...
