Tonight's gig was for the London Welsh School. It was a fundraiser. I arrived in plenty of time at their primary school building in Harlesden. I discovered that they had a microphone and no stand. I've dealt with this situation before, using my top pocket as a personal microphone stand, so I'd deal with it again.

A few highlights of the gig included:

• Talking tech with an audience member before hand
• Having a nice chat with some other audience members before going on
• Not quite meeting Cerys Matthews, who turned out to be affiliated with the school - in fact, she left before I did my set, so she'll never be able to say she thought I was shit
• Writing a funny Cerys Matthews punchline for a joke, not using it, but using the other bit of the joke
• Riffing on the subjects of Ikea and Greek dips
• Using the word "recalcitrant" for no good reason

All in, it was a gig that I made enjoyable for myself. As a result, it went well. Ok, so the compere forgot my name and I had to run onto stage and present her with a flyer for the gig to remind her. So big deal.

Although a fundraiser, we were paid in compliments, thanks and a bottle of wine. Always good.
