About me:
Myspace Layouts - Image Hosting - Forums
here's me doing some very new material at my sixth ever gig, at the fabulous Party Piece, Stoke Newington!
Wotcha. I'm the comedian, journalist, musician, promotor, broadcaster, designer and poet Marc Burrows. I'm not that good at any of the above, but I have done them all.
I’m a budding comedy writer (in the ’writing comedy’ sense), a budding comedy writer (in the ’writing about comedy’ sense) and a geeky know-it-all.
I'm learning to do stand up. It's going slowly.
Follow me on twitter: twitter.com/20thcenturymarc
When not being obsessed about music and comedy I sit in my East Dulwich flat and watch Doctor Who.
