My little girl M had a serious operation at Sheffield Children's Hospital yesterday, without going in to great detail she has come through it really well and despite her tender years she was remarkably resilient and was sitting up yesterday afternoon demanding crisps! My heart goes out to her she is so brave and and her and her Mum must have been so frightened. The consultant seeks her today to determine whether the op was a success. I'm sure it was.
I guess that explains the malaise, well that and the constant loneliness of this job. Ok it may be a cliche but being a stand up comic is without doubt the loneliest job in the world. But it can be fun.
Gigs at this time of the year are notorious for being difficult. Companies insist on booking comedians for their Christmas parties. Some of the gigs are nice but let's be honest I come a poor second best to the sounds of Abba or God forbid Kareoke! I tend to play to the horseshoe at gigs like that, basically play to the people who want to listen and try not to notice the people chattering away in the background.
Having said all that I'm really looking forward to tonight. I'm doing a sportsman's dinner in the County Durham with my favourite compere Dave Greener and my favourite speaker, and proud to say a friend of mine John McGovern, ex: Nottingham Forest and Derby County legend. Will we get drunk? what do you think!
FTM!
