Plus Ones needed for two gigs in Kentish Town Thurs 24 Mar & Sun 27 Mar

Thanks for reading this.

Having gone full-hermit in the last decade, I am (again) struggling for ‘bringers’ for two x five minute spots in Kentish Town in the next few days. Most promoters at this level demand one otherwise you don’t get to perform. It’s understandable but it’s also a pain (a nightamare for the introvert) and it really affects my preparation. Thankfully this week at least, half of my gigs haven’t required the Plus 1. H

If you can make either of the gigs, please drop me an email.

Had I known one day I’d be in this position, would I have made more of an effort to engage with friends over the last few years? Would I have worked on my SMALL talk in case my Plus One on the night ended up being a stranger?

These are good questions. Certainly I would’ve tackled the latter, though I think my SMALL talk is stronger this side of the pandemic.

Please note, no alcoholics.

Plus One needed for Stand Up gig - Wed 2 March, Highgate

Hello everyone,

I’m meant to be doing 5 minutes at the venue below but won‘t be permitted to if I have no bringer. Is anyone around on Wed 2nd March? As a world class hermit the last few years, this bringer business is proving problematic.

It's a Pay What You Want night.

If you fancy it, please email me. Details below.

Stand Up gigs - Feb 2022 onwards

2022 STAND UP GIGS (5 min spots)

If any London-based listeners fancy being a +1 on one of these gig nights, do please get in touch. Having gone full-hermit in the last decade, I am struggling for ‘bringers’ and it’s unfair to rely on a handful of friends to turn up in support. Personally I’m not a fan of the +1 thing in that it is a distraction and can affect the easily-affected (like me) in terms of preparing for the night. But the facts are most promoters demand one otherwise you don’t get to perform. Hence this call out. If you can make one, please drop me an email.

The nights tend to be free entry but if they’re not, I’ll cover your entry. If you need to cancel, no problem, but please try and give me a week’s notice so I can find an alternative.

Thank you.

I’ve bolded the gigs where I do already have a confirmed +1. As you can see, I’m not doing well.

When Shorts Were Short S2 E15 - ADAM RICHES (Classic Kits 1954 - 92)

When Shorts Were Short concerns itself solely with what was actually a very narrow window in football history when teams wore, well, short shorts. The podcast takes 1954 as its starting point, when Umbro made their first England kit with shorter shorts, to 1992, when short shorts were all but finished as Umbro's baggy shorts for Tottenham's new kit, ahead of the '91 FA Cup Final, quickly caught on.

If the shorts weren't short, we don't talk about it.

This episode was originally a Patreon bonus show back in Oct '21.

My first Classic Kits guest is Adam Riches, author of Football’s Comic Book Heroes, a comprehensive look at UK football comic strips, from their beginning in the early 20th century and taking in the 54-92 period that we cover. And Adam has chosen several strips plus his favourite ever football comic strip kit, no easy thing when you factor in many of these strips were black and white.

Last few locations needed for comedy short shoot

Following on from last week’s post requesting potential locations for my short film (appreciate the social media shares), I’m just putting a callout for the few locations that I still haven’t found.

I’ve got one property to see which looks ideal for the shoot and will be able to use it for most of my interiors. However, I still need access to a block of flats so that I can film in the communal hallways, both on the ground floor and also a staircase.

If you’re able to help, or put me in touch with someone that can, please drop me an email with ‘comedy short’ in the title. Should the flat tenants/owners wish to appear in the comedy short as extras, as a thank you my end, that can be arranged.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Retweets/shares on social media are much appreciated.

When Shorts Were Short S2 E14 - TERRY BUTCHER

When Shorts Were Short concerns itself solely with what was actually a very narrow window in football history when teams wore, well, short shorts. The podcast takes 1954 as its starting point, when Umbro made their first England kit with shorter shorts, to 1992, when short shorts were all but finished as Umbro's baggy shorts for Tottenham's new kit, ahead of the '91 FA Cup Final, quickly caught on.

If the shorts weren't short, we don't talk about it.

My guest this week is former Ipswich, Rangers and England captain Terry Butcher. We take a look at the second half of Terry's 1981-82 season when, playing for Ipswich in the FA Cup 4th Round at promotion-chasing Luton, he suffered a curious and near-fatal injury, one of the strangest injuries ever seen in English football. And yet somehow, Terry recovered to nail down a place in England's World Cup side that summer.

Plus Twitter’s unofficial bookshop @Biggreenbooks are giving away a book. To enter, listen out for the competition details towards the end of the episode.

Film location sought for my comedy short

I’ve now completed the writing of my comedy short and am looking to film it in the next few months.

While I’ve sorted out one of my locations for the shoot, I do need to source the main location before pre-production can move onto the next stage.

I’m looking for someone who might allow me to film in their place for free. I haven’t scheduled the shoot yet but obviously I’m looking to keep filming as short as possible, so it shouldn’t be more than 2-3 days of filming or less.

What I’m looking for

A flat, doesn’t have to be in south London (though that would make things easier), within a block. Would be filming exterior shots, shots of the porch, front door, communal hallways, communal staircase (needs to have one) and then within the flat itself, the bedroom, kitchen, front room and a study or a spare room that can be converted to look like a study on the day.

If you’re able to help, or put me in touch with someone that can, please drop me an email with ‘comedy short’ in the title. Should the flat tenants/owners wish to appear in the comedy short as extras, as a thank you my end, that can be arranged.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

My guest this week is artist and landscape painter Lindsay Jelley who in another life was a designer and not just a designer, but the designer who through her work with Admiral from the mid-seventies to early eighties, whom she joined as a nineteen-year-old just out of art college, transformed the football replica kits market.
