Wednesday 26 January 2005

January is a funny month in this business, there seems to be a real hangover from Christmas. My agents hardly ever ring with bookings. It happens every year and every year I start to think that my time is up, I'll never get a booking again. They do ring of course and I try not to sound too pleased to hear from them. I even had to turn down dates today as I was already booked...Business as usual!
As you'll know I went to a great comedy club in Manchesterford. Y and I enjoyed ourselves and some much needed talking was done. However I was conscious that someone I used to be very close to was performing and I wondered how we would react on seeing each other. It was polite and friendly, then I realised why I'd missed him so much, he's funny as fuck! Take the following exchange:
Female punter " That's a lovely shirt, where did you get it?"
AJB "My sister knitted it"
Punter "Oh can she knit me one too"
AJB "No, she died!"
A great way to deal with an annoying punter and made me laugh like a schoolboy!
FTM!
