Punland

I’ve been asked to put together a team of a tree, an animal and a letter.

I choose yew, ewe and … u.

Chuffed (very)

I won the John Brabourne Award!!!

I can’t believe it.  It’s a massive honour to be associated with something that was set  up in the memory of one of the greatest British producers (five Oscars!) and to have my script chosen by the panel a who’s who of industry greats.

I’m not even sure ‘woohoo’ does it justice.  I’ll come back when I’ve calmed down.

Man vs Garden Ornament

Shooting started for the short film ‘Gnome’ last weekend, starring… me! And a gnome.

Brilliant

If you get a chance to see it, you won’t be disappointed.  Hopefully it’ll get a full cinema release.

Good morning!

Thought up some jokes over brek…

Why did the man swear at his food every morning?  He was a cereal offender.

What do you do when a Weetabix steps out in front of your car?  Break fast.

What sport does cereal perform best at in the Olympics?  Bowls.

How do you know if your muesli’s female?  It’s got no nuts…

Sx

New favourite joke

As told to me by the infamous Clare @ work.

I hate those Russian dolls. They’re so full of themselves.

Television Drama – The Writers’ Festival 2010

I’ll be going to talk comedy writing in drama and learn from some the masters in the TV scriptwriting game (Tony Marchant, Jack Thorne, Alice Nutter, Toby Whithouse, and Stephen Butchard will all be there!).  Should be fun!

I’m having a bad hair day.  It’s already mugged an old lady.

The police are combing the streets.  I’ve already had a brush with the law.  It’s time to tie up all the split ends and cut and run.

Plumber jokes

Am doing up a house here in Cardiff and thought up some plumber jokes.  Enjoy.  Electrician jokes tomorrow.

- Why did the plumber commit suicide?  His career went down the toilet.

- What did the plumber take on holiday?  Everything but the kitchen sink.  Which was blocked.

- What else did the plumber take on holiday?  A leak.  Twice a day.

The new gov’ment

Should be called Liber-Tory, not Con-Dem.  Much better.

Awesome news…

Shortlisted!  Woohoo!!

Daily Joke #24

Why was Santa too sick to go up a chimney? He caught the flue.

Daily Joke #23

If hands took over the world, would we be living under a rule of thumb?

Daily Joke #22

Think for yourself – don’t listen to other people. My father told me that.

Daily Joke #21

My friend died in a rock climbing accident. He wasn’t shown the ropes.

Daily Joke #20

When I was a tramp I had low self esteem. I sold the little issue.

Daily Joke #19

Why did the window pane hate Hollywood? It’s where it got its first big break.

Daily Joke #18

Why are building plans rarely successful? They all have at least one major flaw.

Daily Joke #17

I’m not sure I like drinking Innocent OJ, I’d rather drink the juice of oranges that deserved it.

A Poem

I went to the Doctors because the voices told me to.

He said, “You’re hearing things. Punch me in the face.” So I did.

It turns out he didn’t actually say that. Or that I should pull his trousers down and sleep with him while he was unconscious.

Daily Joke #16

I drew a picture of a celebrity using my phlegm. It was the spitting image.

Daily Joke #15

My dog says he’s an astronaut in his sleep. My girlfriend tries to stop him, but I say let sleeping dogs lie.

Weekend Chuckle

This joke was told to me by a girl at work on Friday (all credit goes to her):

“Why did the scarecrow have trouble masturbating? He was clutching at straws.”

Daily Joke #14

I like playing football on a see-saw. But it’s not a level playing field.

Daily Joke #13

My Christmas present last year was a colonic irrigation. It wasn’t number one on my list, but it was number two.

Every Six Seconds…

A DJ thinks about decks… a chiropractor thinks about necks… a Slovakian thinks about Czechs… a weightlifter thinks about pecs… an optometrist thinks about specs… a hiker thinks about treks… a diver thinks about shipwrecks… a cyclist thinks about spandex… a person in the ‘there’s no toilet roll left in the dispenser, but I might have something in my bag’ situation thinks about Kleenex… a Russian thinks about Kopeks… a Southern American thinks about Tex-Mex… an entomologist thinks about insects… and I think of you.

Daily Joke #12

I’m a Christmasaholic – so I decided to go cold turkey. With cranberry sauce.

Daily Joke #11

If you want proof of natural selection, watch an absentminded squirrel burying his nuts for the winter.

A Poem

While searching for car insurance, I thought it weird that

You find a website with animal pictures to peer at.

A friend said: “Each one you have to rate,

while you furiously masterbate,

is this your first time on Compare the Meerkat?”

Daily Joke #9 – sayings for the 21st century

Blood is thicker than water. But neither did well at school.

Daily Joke #8

Do fishermen make a net profit? Can they change career or are they hooked?

Daily Joke #7

I got an f-mail today. It’s like an e-mail, but it wasn’t the letter I was expecting.

Gig Update

This Thursday at the Jongleurs in Reading. See you there!

Jongleurs Reading

Daily Joke #6 – sayings for the 21st century

The grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. But they might have a swimming pool.

Why did the gardner regret swapping his vegetables with the woman next door? He left with his onions and came back with her peas.

Daily Joke #4 – festive knock, knock

Sock, sock.

New pair?

Christmas present from Nan.

Christmas present from Nan who?

Christmas present from Nan who doesn’t like you very much!

Daily Joke #3 – festive

I put some Christmas spices into a mug of tea and left it to do the washing up. When I came back, all the dishes were still dirty. I phoned up my girlfriend and said, “You’re right, men aren’t any good at mulled-tea tasking”.

Daily Joke #2

My cat has no nose.

How does he smell?

It’s a she.

Gig-gles. An update.

Just heard I’ve got a place in the Laughing Horse New Act of the Year 2010.

Gulp.

11th Feb – at least I’ve got plenty of time to prepare!

Let’s do it. Let’s make sweet sweet Comedy.

This blog was a promotional tool. I’m not ashamed of this, it was always meant to be a virtual calling card – “you can’t have a website without a blog!” they shouted in my face while pounding my buttocks with a scotch egg, and they were right. They were right about everything; the scotch egg, the pounding and the blog. So here it was, created with the odd funny link and the occasional updates to my gigs. Promotional, unoriginal and purely functional.

But that’s now changing. On Monday, I discovered via Google Analytics I had 20 viewers. 20! This has turned from a fun promotional tool to a public site ladened with responsibility.

Well, you’ll be glad to hear I intend to step up and fulfil my duty of entertaining my audience of 20, by writing one original joke a day on the blog. Weekdays only (to keep weekends free). The gig updates will remain. In case you want to come.

To kick it all off, here’s today’s joke:

“My Great Grandfather had one tune, my Grandfather had two tunes, my father had three tunes, and when I was born I was heir to the family four tune.”

I’m off to lick a pensioner. Come back tomorrow for another.

For Him Standup

New Comedy Nite, Night

Yes – it’s true, our new ‘Open Mic’ comedy night here in Cardiff will be going live on the 19th of October in the truly awesome venue that is Koko Gorillaz. Seriously, a fantastic venue, I couldn’t believe our luck. A raised stage at the end that is the perfect size for a standup looks out over rows and rows of tables waiting to be filled with people wanting to laugh at the funny man or woman with the microphone. And that funny man or woman could be You. Just drop me a line using the contact details in the ‘About Me’ section of this website if you would like a 5 – 10 minute slot.
