On not winning

So gig at the cavendish arms went well - David put me on at the end of the first half, which is actually a compliment in that he thought I was good enough to close a section.

Tim shinawawa (sp?) was brilliant as always - did an entire five minute set about kidnappers, huegenots and car signs.

Didn’t get into the top 5 which is was a bit annoyed about, but neither did Stevie G (coursemate) which made me happier.  Not that I was happy Stevie G didn’t get in the top 5, just that it wasn’t just me.  I’m just happy that I had entertained people and had fun.

Which was the slightly different thing about tonight, as compared to Saturday and Sunday.  I actually enjoyed being on stage, maybe it’s just because every time I’ve played there I’ve always got a good reception.  Some gigs, I’m happy I’ve played them, I’ve loved the laughter, applause and the beating the women off with shitty sticks after the gig (one of these things is not like the other), but Cavendish is a gig I’ve always enjoyed playing for itself.  David, I salute you.  And yes, I thought the stabbing gag should have got a better laugh too.
