A night in Newcastle, and I spent it in Gateshead. Last night we went bowling - there was a gang of 5 of us and we had a lot of fun. There was beer and skittles... I had diet coke. In fact I'm drinking so much diet coke at the moment that I sometimes can't see through the caffeine haze.

I managed to crack the 100 mark a few times on my bowling, which is something at least. I haven't bowled in a long time and I quite enjoy it. Having said that, I'm aching at the moment - clearly it uses muscles I wasn't aware of.

18 days to go... until the London show, that is. Lots of preparation still to do. It all seemed so far in the future when we booked it all. Cripes.

I've a micro-holiday from the world of stand-up. It's basically three nights, but it seems like ages' worth. There's still time to commit to the world of performance art, but I'll be away from an audience for a bit. A well-deserved break... until Thursday...

I love comedy and opinion about comedy is something I do. I must confess, I've printed out a review from Chortle and put it on the wall at work - I've written on it "Not all reviews are wrong.". The best thing is that this review has nothing to do with my act. I'm slightly em-bitchened by this comedy lark.. but it's all good fun.
