I had a phone call to say that I can take an escort to my next hospital appointment. I’m glad it’s only 45 minutes, as I can’t afford to pay the agency the full hour.

Had an excellent gig last night at Allsortz Comedy in Barnet!

A well-run, friendly, and well attended gig with an audience who enjoyed a great lineup of comedians.

My set went down very well, as you can see from the smile on my face!

Recently I’ve been struggling to put food on the table. I’m fine for money, I just would make a terrible waiter.

It’s World Parkinson’s Day.

Why not celebrate by asking someone you know with Parkinson’s if they have tried yoga, cannabis, or turmeric.

Understanding is like marmite: a little goes a long way. Marmite is better on crumpets though.

This is probably my favourite photo I have from my gigs. To be fair, I normally don’t stand still enough to get a non-blurry one!

Tonight at Fat Penguin in Moseley was the first of several gigs this month. It’s fair to say it went incredibly well! Brilliant audience and I was buzzing afterwards 🤩

Me as a teenager listening to Rage Against The Machine:

“We gotta take the power back!”

Me in my mid-forties:

“We gotta take a power nap”

Don’t you hate it when you order a napkin on a plate and it comes with a chocolate cake on top?
