I checked your site, it hadn't been updated

Yeah sorry about that, you know how it is...

G news:
Adam Riches' delightful 5 star wonder of a show, Rogue Males (featuring Jess) is on at the Soho Theatre this Friday and Saturday.

The Ransom Club starts again on starting Tuesday 9th February at Lowdown at the Albany, it's every 2nd Tuesday of the month.

D news: A lot of sharpening of pencils, and tapping on keyboards to make some jokes for your ears and for some conferences and for some festivals - news of the dates anon. And due to a strange turn of events, she is also due meet Sean Bean (King of the North) in real life next week! She will try not to call his wife Mrs Bastard. BTW Sean Bean's lawyers, this is a ref to a sketch from 2007 and in no way a dis on your client or his wife....

5 stars; 5 a day

Congrats to our lovely friend and world-class yakult gulper* Adam Riches who's Edinburgh show Rogue Males got a 5 star review here. Woot! As you will see excitingly Jess as in "our Jess", "Girl-from-Girl-and-Dean-Jess", "Armstrong-and-Miller's-Jess" (more of that later) is appearing in Adam's show. Bonus! It's every day at 3.30pm in the Cellar at the Pleasance. It is selling out fast, so book a ticket if you are heading up to the Fringe.
* that's not a euphemism. (At least it's not meant to be.)

Meanwhile Dean attended the launch of
Innocent's Big Knit last night at their HQ, Fruit Towers. Innocent give about £250,000 to Help the Aged each winter with the sales of smoothies with little bobble hats on.
It was a lovely evening of fruit and cake and knitting little hats and more fruit and more cakes. Here is a little reminder of one the marvels of the fruit world, the Mango.

Good grief, not this again...

Someone has written an article in the Edinburgh press going on that there aren't any women comedians, and any way women aren't funny. (Sound familiar? Boring innit.)

Delightful comedian Susan Calman has invited female comedians to respond not by whining and moaning, but by getting together for a photo of all the female comedians performing at this year's Fringe, which will illustrate once and for all that there are a lot more funny females than just "Jo Brand* and that Iranian one**". Woot!

The group for the photo info is here. Nice work Ms Calman.


*Getting On on BBC4 is ruddy marvellous by the way. Good work Jo, Vicky and Joanna - the women who wrote and appeared in it (insert own joke about women and multi-tasking here please).

** Shappi Talk on Radio 4 as a super thing to cook your tea to. Tonight I made a korma whilst Shappi and Hils Barker (another girl of funny - that's at least four mentioned on this page so far. Crikey!) did thoughtful funny stuff about religious diversity. Acer pacer.
