  • NEW SHOW

    Current mood:contemplative


    I've got a NEW SHOW.

    I thought of a NEW SHOW in my head and now I'm going to do it by standing in front of some people and saying some shit out loud and afterwards some prick's going to pay me money for it.


    If you would like to come and see my NEW SHOW check out the upcoming gig details i've posted and do so and i will love you forever.

    THE END
  • Edinburgh cunts’ festival 2008

    Current mood:catalyzed

    Here is my news:

    So far in 2008 I have mostly pissed about doing very little of worth or interest.

    But for reasons of financial imperative, I have now been forced to apply myself once again to assembling some manner of show for the Edinburgh Cunts' Festival this August. 

    I have called it 'Don't Just Do Something, Sit There!'. It is going to be better than most of the other dog shit you'll see up there in Edinburgh, except for Helen Keen's show about rocket nonsense which will probably be the best thing to see, even though lots of scumbags have completely ripped off her idea to do a science-based show because they are all idea-thieving black holes of creative sterility who deserve to have their genitals mutilated.

    If you are around, it would be lovely if you came to see my show 'Don't Just Do Something, Sit There!' but don't bother with any of the other crap (except Helen Keen's rocket nonsense show.)

    Have a look at the edinburgh fringe website for dates and times for my show and how much it costs and that.

    Thank you for reading this. I don't know what any of you look like, but I would probably fuck you, if you wanted, because I have an excess of man business in my balls.

    All the best,

    Andrew

     

  • I’M GOING TO SMASH UP THE SOHO THEATRE!

    Current mood:recumbent

    Welcome to this blog posting, I salute you with a kiss and a smily face such is customary amongst the computing fraternity

    x :-)

    here is a winking face also for no particular reason ;-)

    and now a pube ~

    But enough of this, let us apply our full faculties to the business at hand 

    You are hereby cordially invited to pay substancial moneys to attend the last ever performances of my very special show 'Social Leprosy For Beginners And Improvers' at London's swanky Soho Theatre, before I consign it to oblivion and forget it ever happened.

    Dragging the sorry carcas of this show through five more nights offends my sensibilities so much that should you attend you are bound to see my weary personage afflicted with the rueful resigned gaze and the pronounced facial spasming characteristic of a man sick of his own crappy words, miserable voice and despicable face yet too feckless to do anything about any of it.

    Were it not for the fact that they're paying me quite handsomely for my services, I could easily forgo these distracting Soho Theatre dates for a night at home with my head in the oven.

    Still money is money.

    Should you find it in your hearts to grace me with your attendence at the Soho Theatre- and perhaps also bring some manner of gift for me, a trinket to the value of £65 as a sort of very belated chirstmas present- I should hold you in very high esteem indeed.

    You may have seen the show before, but be advised I shall be performing an entirely new ending for the show which I have devised singularly for my run at the Soho Theatre- where at the forty minute mark I shall begin to punch myself in the balls whilst blowing snot out of my nose before collapsing to the floor in the foetal position and sticking my fingers down my throat inducing copious vomit which i shall proceed to lie face down and attempt to drown myself in, whilst also smacking the back of my skull wet with blood by using the microphone as a bludgeoning instrument and also using my feet to steer the microphone stand into my arsehole thereby performing an unlikely but peremptory anal rape. It won't be everyone's cup of tea.

    'Social Leprosy For Beginners And Improvers' Soho Theatre, 21 Dean Street, W1D 3NE, London, 5-9th February inclusive, tickets: £12.50-£17.50 (which is a bit steep if you ask me...)

    box office: 02074780100

  • Edinburgh previews June/July 2007

    Current mood:savage

    Read this, it is more important than your own life:

    For many months now I have been working on something which I believe will shake the world of stand-up comedy on its very axis and leave all my comedic contemporaries deaf, blind and mute. They shall be as quivering wrecks in the gutter of has-beens, languishing in a lake of their own lamentable fluids. I shall look down and see them rolling around in the agony of their own inadequacy and i shall spit on them the rankest, stickiest greenest mouth-bogie there has ever been.

    It is with a puffed-up chest full of justifiable pride that i smugly announce to you all here and now exclusively that my new stand-up comedy show 'Social Leprosy For Beginners And Improvers.' is ready for public viewing.

    It is better than anything there has ever been in the entire history of the world. It will never be equalled by another, except if I should choose to equal it myself, and it will definitely never be surpassed.

    I advise you most sincerely to attend one of my preview shows in June or July because once I take it to the Edinburgh Cunts Festival in August you won't be able to get a ticket for love nor money-that's how very good it is.

    And so,because I am a decent human being and I wouldn't want you to miss out on the most astounding comedic endeavour in the history of the Universe, I have listed below a number of preview shows you will most certainly want to attend. If you have any common sense, taste, class or culture about you at all then I fully expect to see you there.

    *Please note that 'Social Leprosy For Beginners And Improvers' will not contain any musical comedy. Legislation recently passed by the Comedians' Council Of Great Britain expilicity states: 'from now on musical comedy can only be performed by and for people who fuck barnyard animals'. Consequently I have given up musical comedy. Sorry.*
