After a run of summer madness playing to morons, it was a pleasure to be in the wonderful city of Sheffield doing two fantastic shows. First up was at the Sheffield City Hall supporting the Everly Pregnant Brothers, a wonderful ukelele creation with the frontman being Toby Foster my old mate from stand up, Men At Work at the Store and of course he was Les the drummer in Pheonix Nights. He's a legend in the South Yorkshire area and there was a brilliant crowd in last night for the show. I just did a 15 minute spot and then had to hot foot it across town.

The Hunters Bar area is where the long running Little Last Laugh is situated in the Lescar pub on Sharrow Vale Road. It's a legendary place, a place where I first played in about 1994, I think I did the Q joke there (shows how long ago it was!). Last night although thin on the ground was another great night. I opened and Dougie Dunlop closed. The crowd were listening, they were up for a laugh and they were totally civilised. What a pleasant change in this season!

It's off to Gloucester Town Hall tomorrow and then a really busy week starts. I wonder if anyone wants to comit suicide in Edinburgh yet?!
