Announcing "The Wateracre Gambit"

Hello there. I've just been to Barcelona. Lovely city. Misty at this time of year. Charming.

Anyway, those of you on Facebook the more eagle-eyed amongst you will be aware of the news I'm about to share with you. I'm doing a show on the 11th March at 9.30pm at the lovely Etcetera Theatre in Camden.

It's temporarily called "The Wateracre Gambit", as if I was going to perform a Robert Ludlum novel single-handedly. This may change. It's warming up material that may or may not be part of an Edinburgh show. I have written a total of one joke. I'm anticipating writing some more, and some new songs, and will play a combination of those new songs and old ones that I am not tired of yet.

I am taking requests. (Leave a comment below!)

Tickets are available here, from the Etcetera website, and there will doubtlessly be some on the door.

That's all, really.

In other news, I'm just listening to the Killers' first album. Did you know that all dialogue for "The Lonely Crowd" by Josie Balhurst in our first Edinburgh show "The Slush Pile" came from the lyrics of "Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine"? FACT. That was what we got Jeremy Vine and Timothy West to say. Confessions of a lazy writer, ho ho.
