MIDDLESBROUGH LITERARY FESTIVAL

Don’t forget – Rosalind Wyllie and Caroline Smailes are at the festival tonight and Nik Jones is there tomorrow. Details on previous blogs and on Events page.

And speaking of events – I was at one of the funniest events of my life last night. Gav Webster, John Scott, John Fothergill and Simon Donald held a stand-up show in a bar in Blaydon. I’ve never laughed so much. Really, when you’re known for having a ‘mental laugh’, comedy clubs are usually something to steer clear of. There was enough laughter in the venue to drown me out, so it was ok.  I’ve still been chuckling today.

Anywho – get along to Middlesbrough tonight and tomorrow. I know Middlesbrough is the last place anyone wants to go, but it will be worthwhile.
