Same as me. I packed in after falling off my motorbike. Amazing how a bit of ice can change your entire leisure life
I'm still pretty new to H2G2, and I can't even recommend any good places to visit. I'd suggest that you read my article on Bill Hicks, but I can't get it past the moderators yet.
See you around...

Yeah I was out of the martial arts scene for a year, I haven't mentioned several broken wrists, twisted ankles, bruises, black eyes and bloody noses (They didn't have to fight me....joke) And I do it for fun. Madness. I'm still hoping to get back to jitsu, but there's a bit of politics at the club at the moment I don't want to get caught up in. And I'm still a bit worried I might do my back in again.
Bill Hicks was a great if controversial Comedian I've seen a couple of his routines. Is it his style of humour you do on the circuit?

I'd like to think I did stuff like Bill... but yeah, I like that style. I don't do many knob gags. I do a set at the moment about that thing in Nepal where the King got killed. "...Next budget time, the bill for the Nepalese Civil List is coming WAY down. There's always a silver lining if you look hard enough..."
God, I'm good. Shame noone's considered paying me yet...

When you tell people your trying to get onto the comedy circuit thing, do people ask you to tell 'em a joke, or suggest material for you?

Sometimes you get "...'Ere's a good'un for ya...". To be fair, they're often pretty funny, but not original. It's a cardinal rule on the "alternative" comedy circuit that you write your own.
I've found the Comedians Guild on the Guide, and I've started posting there. Have a look if you're interested.You should be able to see the conversation on my homepage...

I just thought you might be able to make something of something that happened to me a few Months ago.
My wife was looking for recipes for Hot Cross Buns and all unaware of the Americanism of buns typed it into a search engine, well you can imagine the sort of sites it listed. She's now convinced that everything on the net is porn orientated and calls me a pervert whenever i say i'm going online.

LOL! Are you sure there's no other reason she calls you a pervy?

No, but the bedroom/kitchen/back Garden/dog kennel is a different matter.
