Eeeh The Things You Talk About

You'd think that sharing a car with two other comedians, the conversations would be about the best and worst gigs we've done, how trashed we've gotten, who we've shagged recently, etc. All the usual rock and roll stuff.

But no.

Last night I was lucky enough to get a ride home from Leeds with Jamaican comedian Tony Hendricks and Kiwi boy Al Pitcher, and our conversations were the most obscure I've had in a long time. The first hour was spent discussing modern art...if you saw any one of us you'd never guess we were fans of Joseph Beuys, we then moved on to discuss Shakespeare, performance art and the black stuff they put on top of astroturf these days! Just goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover.

Talking of Leeds, this weekend they introduced an extra show on Saturday night, which meant that the first one started at 7.15 and the second started at 10pm. I don't claim to be a massive expert on crowd dynamics, but in my opinion, the early crowd were too sober and the late crowd were too pissed, so neither show was as pleasurable as it could've been. Oh well, business is business I guess. However, five shows in 4 days???? It's like having a proper job!
