Hey, media people. Fancy a job on the Letterman show?

An Audience With Mr Methane - The Hour Approaches!
Bits and Pieces

I have reached that point before a party, where you start panicking, wondering whether anybody will turn up, not helped by the fact that I have just read through what I laughingly call a script, and confirmed that what we have is basically a one-joke show.
Still, Two Pints Of Lager was basically a one-joke series, and that's still going after what seems like a lifetime.
What I am saying, I suppose, is for god's sake, come and see us, please! The Standing Order, George Street, Edinburgh, August 9th to 23rd, 7.45pm each night. It's FREE! Yes, FREE! A recession-buster if ever there was one.
Preview, 9pm, Original Oak, Headingley, Thursday July 31st.
Be there!! Somewhere. more - >
Culture lovers awake! An Audience With Mr Methane heralds the return of highbrow entertainment to the Edinburgh Festival.

“Interest in the show has been unprecedented,” says a made-up quote from Mr J.D.Weatherspoon himself, “What could be more agreeable than to sit down with a bottle of faux German beer and enjoy Strauss’s beautiful Blue Danube waltz, augmented by Macclesfield’s leading virtuoso on the botty bugle.”

Why I can't stand Frasier!
Bits and Pieces
Posted by on Mar 14, 2007 - 10:49:51 PM
Here's a piece I wrote in 2001 for that fine newspaper, The Independent, about my indifference to the then comedy sensation Frasier. It's worth another run now, I think, as it is sort of prescient about the Starbucksisation of Britain.
Frasier - the lo-cal, decaff, substitute for comedy... more - >
