Now he turns his attention to updating the works of the "world's first great stand up comedian", the Roman satirist Juvenal, and asking has the world changed much in 2000 years? (Spoiler alert, no, not really)

First time opening at a proper gig tonight (I've checked and ones where you book yourself definitely don't count) Had to raid the back catalogue for some material but should be able to make it work..

Maybe* he was right and wearing shorts does make you a whore, cause I've just watched 11 Man United players get shafted for 90 minutes. * he definitely wasn't.

The joint presenting got better as the show went on, but he looked like he didn't know where to stand or do when he's not talking. If they are going to have them both theyd be better alternating them, or one does the intros, one does the after dance/judges bit

When I started supporting #Brewers in 2003 they were more likely to get 100 losses than 100 wins.

Lovely night at The Comedy Sty for Jamie Stevens Quality MC work from Mick Tickner and plenty of superb acts for a great audience (even if they were a bit young for some of my references). And all done and back home by 11 o'clock (would have been earlier but the M62 was closed)

Another Tribfest Music Festival over and my 5th (and best) appearance. Comics agree that playing festivals can be tricky, but due to the hard work put in by Steve Rimmer RE the Comedy Marquee is a joy to do.

Bumper crowd in the Comedy Marquee to see yours truly. Have found the Tribfest Music Festival crowd to be a bit tricky previously but after a bit of a slow start, I hit my stride and got them laughing and it was a great one.

Wouldn't have gone back to Root, but not a lot of other options. Personally I'd have chosen Brook and given Curran the white ball captaincy.
