Nobody can eat 50 eggs.

So.....Kiruna's in Stockholm dancing for the next few weeks on some contemporary dance thing. You know...where they make dancers dance strangely off rhythm and then tell you how deep the piece is and if you don't get it you're uncouth, a philistine and just not clever enough....I guess that does make me a stupid, uncouth philistine but you should see me dance. ; )

Anyhow, since I last blogged I've gone and got myself engaged! Well, not exactly gone and got myself engaged....I asked....badly and fortunately she still excepted. We were in Berlin together where I was doing a really nice gig and after I'd come off stage and was sat at the bag with her, I crumbled.

I'd already wanted to ask her on a couple of occasions but was never sure when was the right time and how I was going to ask. All I could hear was a German act on stage sprechen zee German and when I looked at her I was overwhelmed with the feeling to propose. For some reason I though she could see it in my eyes and then I panicked and got nervous and then asked nervously and in a panic. I didn't even get straight to the point and just ask. I went round the houses , the long way round. Luckily when I finally got to the point she said yes! She's awesome and I'm a very lucky man. When you know - you know - you know?

So , Nice gig in Berlin,  job well done, minus for style of proposal but plus for Fiancee on board equals a RESULT! ; ) We're getting married September next year after we've got through most of 2012 which includes, Adelaide Festival, DaDa Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe plus finding a new place to live.

It's going to be a big year and I think we're gonna need a bigger boat!


We found an awesome hotel in Berlin and spent a night there and we intend to go back for a weekend on our own just before the wedding so we can actually have some time together because I'm guessing we won't have as much time for just us on our wedding weekend. The hotel which you should check out is www.michelbergerhotel.com

It was an amazing hotel design wise. Very cool and possibly my favorite thing about it was the fact that they had The Big Lebowski playing with the sound off 24/7  on T.V's at the end of every corridor. V. Cool.

I've got my first date supporting Hal Cruttenden on his tour tomorrow and then on Monday night , the 3rd of October it's the fourth Laughter is the Best Medicine at the Comedy Store. It will be a great event as ever raising laughs and money for St Marks Hospital Foundation. Nice line-up this year with 9 acts plus me as MC. Acts this year are, Tom Wrigglesworth, Nik Doody, Jessica Fostekew, Mike Gunn, Andre King, Alistair Barrie, Paul Pirie, Nik Doody and Carey Marx.

Tickets can be bought on the door on the night or via The Comedy Store - London Website

Hope to see you there. Bogging done and dusted....over and out. ; )
