Yehhh - Pear Shaped is COOL - really like it there, although usually there are more comedians than punters - on a good night it's about 50/50. They have 3 different compares - BRIAN DAMAGE & KRYSSTAL do great silly songs & very fine stand-up - there's this bloke JIMBO who's just this mad old guy and he looks JUST like a friend of mine HOOTON but olded up - he has all these AWFUL jokes but he's just hilarious anyway & keeps on forgetting everything. He was comparing one night & this Chinese girl did a set - he came on after & said "Ohh - sorry about those Chinese jokes earlier........ hang on... I didn't do them". Anthony Miller is the other chap who looks like a paedo & does really good political stuff & he's clearly very experienced but in a very silly way .

All the other acts were good tonight - all had a years+ experience which was very encouraging cause they all had excellent on stage personas & so it just shows that comes with experience. The material was pretty so-so for most of them, it was all about the delivery - very encouraging.

I felt good up there tonight, I did a whole new set as my old stuff was getting too character driven & it was annoying me.
