Out of sorts

[tinyjo]

Am still finding it difficult to concentrate on much, although I have managed to get a reasonable amount of stuff done today. Too many short projects with people wanting them done immediately - it does my head in. Also, I now have a hypnotic ticking clock on my desktop thanks to Page flakes and find it quite easy to get distracted into literal clock watching if I'm not careful :)

Out and about tonight for Stuart Lee, the other half of Alex's birthday present. I remember going to see him and Richard Herring together when I was a student but I've never seen him solo. Hopefully should be good though. I'd like to go to more standup - are any of the comedy clubs round here any good?

We're going to see him on Sunday night. It was supposed to be the other week, but had to be rescheduled. Saw him on his last tour, and he was great. Have fun!

According to brightybot and hatmandu, who both went last night, he was quite dark. And more than a little bitter. Do you like your comedians like you like your coffee?

Hope it was good - I never managed to shift my ticket in the end, so it just went to waste. You know Richard Herring was on at the Free Beer thing at the Cellar last week or thenabouts?

I went to the Free Beer for the first time a few weeks ago to see Simon Munnery, who seemed exhausted and not a little bitter - he spent the last ten minutes reading from his book before saying "I've wasted my life - don't waste yours. Goodnight!" I guess that generation of comedians are hitting mid-life crisis pretty hard now.

As a night, though, the Free Beer looks good. Best get there early though, as it's seated (in the cellar!) and space seems to be at a premium.
