Since the BBC.

Things I have been up to since hearing (in a feedback session) that I was 'too serious' for a job in comedy at the Beeb:

1. Went to an architecture exhibition, where bespoke jelly moulds of famous London buildings were the centre-piece. Loads of little pink jellies of places like St. Paul's cathedral and The Eden project were displayed in front of a camera-phone toting public. By night the jellies had fallen to the floor, and the public danced on them to the coolest MC/DJ pairing I have ever seen. The Swing playing 'Correspondents' featuring DJ Chuckles and MC Ian Bruce (who's adopts the style of a fifties American Preppy) was amazing.

2. Been asked to play drums on my friend Lindsay West's record, and to sing with my friend Noa on a song where I will impersonate Noa as she sings, well, like Noa too.

3. Reworking my book proposal on Theology and Disability for JKP.

4. Entering E4's Radio HaHa competition with my 'Letters From An Absent Father' improv.

5. Looking for places for my sitcom pilot - now finished - to go.

6. Playing more festivals, the last one being Lounge on the Farm. I got a little drunk, slept in a van, enjoyed playing (though Joe is still out of action), and learnt that Kitty, Daisy and Lewis (who were on after us and were great), not only live opposite me, but also own the Hearse I occasionally see parked outside my house. They carry their stuff in it, you see...

7. Thinking about my Radio Four doc.

8. Watching my friend's Edinburgh Preview, entitled 'How to learn the Ukulele in under an hour: How George Fornby saved my life'. It's by Sam Brown and Donal Coonan. If you're at Edinburgh this year, look them up.
