Gig 34?




The photo is me in my get up for reading out the mother in law jokes for the LLC competition. It shows how attention to detail is everything. Spot the mistakes;
1. Grey T-shirt visible.
2. It should be a pint of bitter.
3. The hair. I'd tried to plaster it down to appear short, but these days it takes a lot nore than a handful of mouse to get my hair to stay down.

It was a fun night in all. As I say on the LLC site -

"As the show neared it's end came competition time! This week it was favorite mother in law jokes, and to read them out we had Yorkshires top comic (1978) Les Bastard (Pete with a cushion up his shirt.) Al was on the drums providing the BADUM TISH! After every punchline. My favorite of the night: I wouldn't say my mother in law's fat, but she sat on a rainbow and Skittles came out."

I love that joke, I think it was from Steff. I'm not even sure if it really makes sense but it's still funny. The winner was a lot less PC.

Today I'm waiting anxiously to see if I get a last minute call from 'So you think you're funny.' Al got a place in the heats (during the Edinburgh festival) yesterday and he said they were working through the list and today was the last day. He tried to cheer me up by suggesting they may be working alphabetically and would get to him (A, D.) before me, (P,T.) so Monday's blog will be either one of cheerful plans for Edinburgh, or a morose 'why do I bother' rant.
