Quotes from the circuit
Published by on September 10th, 2006
From those quiet days of standup comedy…
“So how do you think that went?” &
“Don’t take it too personally”
Matt Blaize following my worst gig ever at GSOH, Cranleigh.
“Oh really? What are you doing, like… what sort of stuff?”
Ross Noble after being ambushed in the Pleasance courtyard. Perhaps he thought I was stealing his stuff.
“If you can’t do the gig in Exeter, that’s fine, but my advice is you do it”
Geoff Whiting giving me a proper, well meant and well deserved dressing down for not wanting to drive 300 miles.
“You might want to try learning how to be a comedian first”
Rob (tosser) Heeney.
“Can you drive to Birmingham and can you pick up a dwarf on the way…”
Getting a gig, because I have a car.

I saw Matt Blaize and Ross Noble in Oxford before they were famous - I recall one occasion he asked my mate what he did for a living, his (truthful) response was ‘virus researcher’. Bit of a comedy cul-de-sac.

I’ve never had a virus researcher, but I have had a mobile phone forensic technician - I got most of a gig’s material out of that one, much of which related to the capturing of ‘personal’ images. I know, easy gag, but hey, where needs must…
