teh place: Party Piece

Really starting to get worried now about how consistently well this is going.  I know I’m due for a fall and I think the better this keeps on going the worse the damage to my ego will be.  However, in the meantime it’s nice to knock them dead every night.

Once again at PP I had a weird feeling about the gig.  The first bit had some really big names (relatively speaking) but some of them seemed to treat it as less of a gig and more of just a chat.  It was bizarre.

Nice to see David, Nelson and Sarah again.  Sarah’s completely changed her stuff since the last time I saw her, which is a shame in some ways because I liked her self-harm material.  But the new stuff is very good, although as I pointed out, exceptionally lazy in that it just consists of extracts from this ridiculous psychic Hello-type magazine.

I’m just jealous I didn’t think of the idea, and wasted my time writing cocking Eurovision jokes that didn’t age well.

Tom was very happy with me because I’d brought audience once again.  He promised me a drink which I failed to collect in the end.  Went on and killed them all, switched my set back to an earlier style - brought back the IT jokes which went down surprisingly well, although I thought the peer-to-peer once should have got a better laugh.  Stupid audience not familiar with network topologies.
Got the tube back with Mark Restuccia (proper comic - he features on chortle and everything)  who was extremely complimentary about my set.  Yay me!
