Apart from doing the odd appearance at a new material night in the next few months, there will be a few secret gigs in the GW tradition this coming Autumn. I will be doing the Irish festival come October in Newcastle, a date hasn't been confirmed yet but watch this space, I'll let readers of the blog know before everyone else.

Also there'll be a busy christmas, I reckon I'll be doing a bit of stuff between Christmas and New Year (every night hopefully), once again it's the same protocol, I'll mention it on these pages first.

Playing football tonight with the other members of the NE comedy community, a win would be very welcome.

Finally RIP to Alex Higgins who was buried today in Belfast. I met him years ago in a hotel in Manchester where I was gigging and he was living at the time. He nearly started fighting with the compere who was cheeky to him. I wish you'd whacked him Alex, he deserved everything he almost got. Afterwards when he heard my accent, he started talking to me about Jackie Milburn (Alex was a Linfield fan and JET played for Linfield as player manager later in his carreer). A great moment and a great night. I hope you're playing Fred Davies in heaven, I hope Len Ganley is refereeing (that's presuming he's dead) and I hope Ted Lowe is commentating. Where are the Alex Higgins' of today?!
