Jimmy was the kind of guy that rooted for bad guys in the movies.

So, here I am back at the laptop to finally update my Blog and bring it kicking and screaming into 2011. I need to cut the cord and get it circumcised but I have no idea what that means in this analogy. Perhaps it means I should write it and then cut off a paragraph. Aesthetically I believe this looks better and hopefully it’ll be healthier too in the long run. I certainly want to cut out any cheesiness in this blog so that should mean we're on to a winner.

It’s been amazing time in my life since I last blogged. Got a few more clubs under my belt that I wanted for doing weekends, particular favourites being The Stand, The Covent Garden Comedy Club and The Comedy Cafe.

Also I got a documentary commissioned ( off my own back with the help of a good production company ) by Channel Four for More 4. If it does well it goes to the main channel. It’s comedy related. Consequently I’m learning a fair bit about the machinations of T.V and Associate Producing and how easy it is to be thrown a curve ball no matter how well the pitch and commission has been going.

This project recently got thrown such a curve ball but all is not yet lost. The Fat Lady ain’t singing , so watch this space. I still am aiming to hit it out of the ball park.

The first time I was ever on T.V was a background appearance in an episode of Swap Shop when I was at The Glade Primary School. Cheggars swung by to help me swap my game of life for a robo wrestling ring and I was a blink and you’ll miss it swap moment. Noel Edmonds landed by Helicopter on the playing field and was given a suprise school reunion as he had previously gone to The Glade as a child. Climbing out of the helicopter and walking to the playground he inadvertently stepped on Julie Ryans foot. She never forgot it or forgave him and in the years to come she developed a profound hatred of all things Blobby.

I’ve road tested my new show, Gareth Berliner : An INCH of Integrity, in Brighton at the Brighton Fringe Festival. I really enjoyed the luxury of having an hour to play with again and 6 out of the 8 shows rocked. 2 were dodgy. One was my fault in all honesty and the other was the fine work of a German Woman heckling while she was wired on Alcohol and Cocaine and not prepared to concede or leave no matter how many times I slammed her with a decent put-down. This was the shows first airing and I got some nice new bits out of it for my set. The shows solid and works but now I need to make it perfect. I’m going to keep fine tuning. I’ll take it to the Adelaide Fringe Festival in 2012 for it's International Debut

Adelaide’s one of my favourite places in Australia. Mainly because of mates living there and it was also My favourite Fringe Festival I’ve ever done. The Camaraderie and support is better than you ever get at the Edinburgh festival. When you’re performing there you’re not just a comic, your an International Act and that’s a massive help in getting people interested in seeing your show. It’s “Other” to another Australian comic.

I’ve been in and out of a few relationships since the last blog which have made it into the new show but recently I’ve got involved with someone who’s been quite an inspiration. She’s awesome, makes me laugh and gets me. You can’t say fairer than that. Very early days so time will tell but the main thing is we click and we laugh together. No Complaints. She’s one of the most grounded people I know, literally. That’s a quality joke but you would have to know the lady in question to appreciate it. ..apologies for now...we’ll keep her mysterious .
