Owl Man is here!

So tonight for the first time, Glasgow Jongleurs was NO smoking…! I have stopped so it was easy for me (well so far...one day stoppage does not an expert make). Anyway the crowd were lovely and laughed along fine until I mentioned my funny exchange with Owl Man, for those who have read...

Strange Man in the street…

I walked to the shops today; Glasgow was bright but very cold. We even had a partial eclipse of the sun today and I partially missed it! I looked up and tried not to burn my eyes, saw something in the sky….could have been big fat pigeon blocking the sun am not sure but I felt I should...

My Blog Live!

I am thinking about trying to do my three week-one hour nightly show at the Edinburgh Fringe to stream live on the web? It means I will need to find somewhere to host it, but it also means people from all over the globe can sit at home and watch an Edinburgh Fringe show live in their house!...

Last Night Show…

The venue was heaving with people; Bar Bluu on Glasgow ’s Trongate was the bar my one woman show was being held last night. Downstairs Ashley had set up the camera and my mate Rob was coming along to make sure the filming went ok, as Ashley was doing her karaoke gig elsewhere. There...

Sex, drugs and Dogs…

Everyone believes that working in comedy and entertainment is full of fun and sexy nights and drug fuelled parties, well its not. BUT…last night on the Glasgow Comedy Pub Crawl we did almost have all three. Firstly there was THE SEXIEST man alive there; he was tall, dark, with that...

Mother’s day approaches…

As we all know that commercial vehicle ‘Mothers Day’ arrives in UK 26 th March. I have a wonderful step mum called Mary, she is adorable and I am proud to have her as a mother and dedicated my autobiography to her (amongst other women in my family). My real birth mother was murdered in...

BBC Radio Show…

My initial feelings this morning were ‘Don’t wake up’ but I managed to drag my ass out of bed and onto a train to Edinburgh to take part in radio café, a BBC Scotland show. The producer had been along to the Drumchapel workshops and had previously interviewed the kids I had been working...

I am not pregnant!....

Ovaries remain unfertilised, womb is as barren as an empty waste paper basket and I am the happiest woman alive. I really need to sort out my ‘I think I am pregnant’ situation as I worry monthly, I will not use any invasive birth control that involves drugs or surgery, yet I get scared I am...

The Owl and the Book…

I went up into Easterhouse (rundown area of Glasgow ), it has a brand new huge shopping park. I was doing a book signing/comedy gig there at the Borders Book Store. As I approached the store I saw a small crowd outside, I thought “Maybe people are queuing up?” But no it was in fact an...

I am sneezing snot…

I sneezed and snot flew all over my pc screen. There were big streaks of it and it looked like the map of Norway . I want to die…I cannot believe how fucked and miserable this virus is making me. I was on BBC Radio 7 today, I tried to not cough and sneeze or pee…it was horrid. I finally...

The Flu…

Ok I have been writing very little lately as I have the flu…hoping its not the fucking bird flu to be honest, so far no feathers have popped outta my ass when I sneeze so that’s a good sign. I coughed so much yesterday that I pissed a little bit in my knickers…that is the fucking end of my...

Human League is awesome…

I attended a private party on Saturday. A 40 th birthday was being celebrated and 80’s pop giants Human League were the stars of the show. I got up and did some stand up before they came on, I could see many confused people looking at the stage saying “The bloke from Human League has got...

Fun in London…

I have never been to the Café Royal in London ’s West End before. I was amazed at how swish and regal it looked, it’s not the kind of café where you can order egg and chips, that’s for sure. When I arrived at the venue to take part in ‘Funny Women’ I was escorted into the dressing...

My Book has been re-printed again...

I am off to London tomorrow to take part in ‘Funny Women’ show at Café Royal in London ’s city centre. I asked Random House to supply some books to sell at the venue but I just found out my book ‘Handstands in the Dark’ has sold out…again! I am well chuffed. Today I went into town...

Sex and Lies…

Husband knew I was stressed, just off a train from Manchester last night, where some fucked up Glaswegian drunk vomited in every toilet the length of the train, where smelly men pissed on their seats and despite being in first class, I still could smell all of that stuff combined. Husband...

Journey to Manchester…

I got up early to catch a train, as the replacement car Esure finally got for me (eight days late! Never get Esure insurance) is way too small and poky- so I opted for the train. I hate sitting beside anyone so I spread my worldly goods all over four seats in the hope it would put...
