It's technically Wednesday- guess the song of the day

You know when you have very little to say but by gum you're going to talk?
Yeah...

Various utterly useless things happened today. My mum liked my marmalade cake so much she sked me to do another one. Thing was, the recipe calls for two eggs, and we only have one in the entire house. So the fridge is now full of blomped together margerine, flour and

I knew the apocalypse couldn't stop us...

Haha, I wish someone had actually gone around with it on a ghetto blaster. My brother wanted to, but he had the problem of having to find one first. Mp3 is not the same. I hope Stan, Wayne or whoever did find it as a ringtone tho. If I'd done that, I'd have kept pretending people were calling just for the excuse to play it.

If I'm honest, I wish I'd gone vegan sooner. It would have been inconvenient, but I don't reckon it would have been impossible. It's kind of killing me a bit that I won't be able to do it straight away.

Y'know, I see so many obscure comedians live that it feels weird discovering someone new on tv. I should probbly watch Apollo more often. Except in the house in Sheffield we only have freeview so I won't be able to. O well.

Oo, is it? It wasn't when I had freeview, but it has been well over a year since my freeview box went to the big electric mains in the sky. I hope it is, it's the only channel that's really worth watching.

Lee Evans is hysterical. When we went on holiday to Cornwall a few years back we put some of his shows onto a CD to make the journey more bearable, and it was sort of like a cross between laughing till it hurt and wishing we could see his face.
And now I'm even more jealous cuz there ain't a chance in hell I'll be able to afford a ticket.

Hehe, all my favourite comedians have ripped the shit out of me at some point or other. It's like a test- if you can make me laugh whist throwing every insult you've got at me, I will love you.

I'm used to tiny venues- the room the Last Laugh's usually in only holds 200 people, and it's probably easier to heckle in there. The ones that really get heckled bring it on themselves- some of them make an entire act out of it.
I suppose if Lee does arena tours, then he's less likely to get heckled in the first place, and if people know he's not going to give a really biting put-down then they won't bother trying for one.
I love that manic absurdness he does tho- he's like a hyperactive kid who swears and sweats lot.

I was talking about this to Jamie a while ago, and having seen a lot of comedians who use audience participation quite a lot, I reckon that most hecklers are trying to get a rise out of them because most comedians are at their funniest when they're put on the spot with something to react to. It's a sort of audience s&m- I heckle at Last Laugh because I like getting the shit ripped out of me, and other people like watching me get the shit ripped out of me in the same way I like watching it happen to other people. It's just funny to get the put-down out of them. Plus, if you can get that rise, especially in something huge like the Boosh, that is one hell of a cherished memory.

I was just wondering- how long can you stay in Sheffield? Cuz if you can stay till the Sunday, that's when Last Laugh is, if you're interested. It's only a fiver a ticket, and the drinks are cheap too.
