You’re an idiot and I’m a coward

I’ve got a gig on thursday in Wimbledon Park.  It’s for a parent teachers assocation & we’ve been advised to avoid the paedo gags.  My new material is kind of dependent on paedophilia, especially the payoff line.

Now, I could go and write some new, non-offensive material, but part of me wants to just do it because I’ve been advised not to.  As I have semi-jokingly said to people, part of the attraction of this is getting on stage and saying things that would get me arrested or beaten up in other circumstances.  Plus, I’ve thought of a brilliant justification and another couple of gags about the fact that I’m mentioning this.

I’d love to say that all of this was about my pushing boundaries for some deeper meaning, but quite frankly I just like taking the piss.
