hello richard, you are a good listener, and i do nothing but take take take,,,,cake, toast, even toy cars.

today was a lazy day. the weekend was tedious, but also rewarding. two gigs, which i plucked out of nowhere in one day. on friday winchester, on saturday bournemouth. but the reality is i had two gigs in Guernsey booked in since about a year, and found out a few days ago they has been cancelled! Everything is collapsing around me. (i dream of going on a long walk across a land, but where is it?).

so at least i was still working by picking up these 2 stray gigs. The winchester Ark was brilliant. Sol Bernstein was there ,always a happy face in the green room. when i walk into green rooms/dressing rooms/toilets these days i never know who’s gonna be there – rarely do i check in advance who’s on t bill – and there are so many new, younger comics out there. and so, as i walked into the room at Jaggers, bournemouth, i simply announced “Noel James known predator ” – they laughed as they were meant to.
