pictures of success

afternoon people! hope youre all well, as im sitting in my apartment with a big stupid grin on my face.

last night was a fantastic blast! went from spending a day with my good friend mary, who it was great to catch up with and have the banter and then, after the obligatory lad banter in pembroke, myself and sean, who was filming for me headed on down to the international!

there were only three acts on last night, tasha k opning, myself doing 10-15 and then the fantastic sketch group foil arms and hog doing the second half after the break.

tasha, who features in rte's the savage eye and is generally a lovely bubbly girl nailed it, got a great response from a loud and rowdy crowd and i could feel the buzz before i even set foot in the room!

for any of you who have seen my comedy before, i love crowds with a lot of energy, and this one didnt dissapoint!

i decided to try some written material about paddys day which i was shitting myself about because.. well.. i never do written material! but it got a great reaction so i was pumped.

and then, the shit unknowingly hit the comedy fan in the funniest way possible.

over the right side of the room were a big group of people, good auld dublin types, so i picked a guy at random, lets call him trevor. now, i had to pick a girl so i had heard i twas someones birthday in the club so i asked and by coincidence, she was walking back in from the bathroom when i asked where she was.

all fine and dandy, until they sit down beside each other.

but sure, id already set the premise so i had to roll with it!

so i went on to describe their potential relationship in vivid detail, finishing in her getting spitroasted by trevor and a marraige councellor, wearing leather and chains.

as it transpired, trevor had just broken up with his girlfriend the day before, the birthday girl had also gone out with trevor at some stage so their friendship was somewhat akward to begin with, she was sitting beside her new boyfriend who is paranoid about her getting back with trevor and to ice off the cake, i visually described her performing various sexual acts to the song boom boom pow by the black eyed peas.

i dont think that could have gone any better.

hit up crawdaddy after with the boys, it was epic.

much love
