Ukulele days
I've spent an age an a half doing stuff for the Tuxford Featival that starts today. There was supposed to be jazz but that got cancelled. So we're starting with a day for old people with bad memories. I wonder if Glastonbury started like this. the local MP is coming to the comedy win his family. One side if me wants to do a load of political stuff but to be honest I'm genuinely happy that he's supporting the festival so I'll just keep my happy trousers on. That and the majority of my knowledge is based on obscure documentaries and conspiracy websites.
I finally got around to doing Helen Arney's I'm Sorry I Haven't a Uke night. Where a bunch of misfits like myself sit around in a circle playing songs on our ukuleles. It was great fun. I particularly liked playing The Man Who Sold the World by David Bowie. Sophia bought me a ukulele when she went to Bestival and i love it to bits. It's probably the cheapest one ever made and it certainly was at the uke group. But it's opened up so many new avenues in comedy. I've used it in Music Club, I'll use it in my Edinburgh show and I'll be doing a weekly slot for Tricity Vogue's Ukelele Cabaret also during the festival.
I'm feeling a bit weird about the festival this year. I seem to have everything sorted. Normally I'm running around a few weeks before knowing I still have something important to do, like write a show. But not only have we got the show written we have four previews to tweak it. I'm not normally that well organised. I'll probably have the car blow up when I pass e Cambridge services. Better get my AA upgraded to relay just on case.
It's bloody hot at the moment. I'm suffering from prickly heat at the moment on my lower right calf. I spent half of last night with a blue freezer block tied to my leg with a dressing gown belt. I watched a few episodes of the American version of The Office which I love. If you haven't seen it, do. It's brilliant and dare I say it better than the British version. The whole cast are just perfect and yes it's got tons or irony and it has really embarrassing moments like the uk cousin. Because there's over twenty episodes a series you get to really explore the characters.
