    D.A.M. Fine Comedy has launched a funky new Comedy Show called
    "Ice Cream and Jobbie Sauce" every Friday at Gramofon Bistro.

    We would be very grateful for any help you can offer in
    publicisingthe night to make sure it is a success, so I am very
    hopeful that you are indeed willing and able to list our event
    in your various media. As a thankyou we would like to offer you
    a complimentary bottle of champagne and free entry to see the
    show. Please do let us know in advance.

    The venue is located downstairs in Gramofon Bistro,
    7 King St Glasgow, G1 5QZ and starts at 9pm.

    D.A.M. Fine Comedy stands for "Downstairs At Mines". It's a
    cosy wee room for 50 people, in the very swanky looking
    cellar-bar of the restaurant, so there's a lovely atmosphere,
    we're putting a bar in, we're building numbers up and aiming
    to create a funky night, that offers something a bit different,
    instead of competing directly with The Stand and Jongleurs.

    Significantly, we are developing a lot of very original,
    interactive games for the crowd, so we are mixing up the format
    to try to make the evening a lot more creatively challenging for
    comedians, rewarding for punters and interesting for anyone who
    cares to hold an opinion on such things; so we're hoping it'll
    be something interesting enough that you'll come and visit for
    it's own merit some day.

    We launched on Saturday 11th October with Keir McAllister
    blowing the roof off the place, last night Friday the 17th,
    Jay Lafferty headlined, we're getting bigger headliners because
    of the interesting format. This Friday 24th October, we are
    headlining with Scott Agnew, 2008 Winner of the Scottish
    Comedian Of The Year Award, The SCOTY.

    So by all accounts it should do very well, and we can
    guarantee a very good value interview for you, should you feel
    this of interest to your publication.

  • D.A.M. Fine Comedy - The Story So Far

    So I have taken on the job of compering a Comedy Night.

    Saturday 11th was our Launch night, which went well, in the end, but I was honestly going to cancel to begin with because we had no punters, just comedians, so at the last minute we persuaded half a dozen people downstairs, and the restaranteurs and we did actually have a lovely gig, everyone enjoyed themselves, punters included. By the end of the two first rounds of younger comedians, it was time for Keir McAllister to blow the roof off what I like to call a small but intimately packed crowd. There was six folk, plus comedians, so plenty of room for improvement in the numbers, but for quality the crawd is brilliant.

    So we then decided to proceed, me and my restauranteur partners no galvanised into one homegenous, comedy consuming beast. However we have changed it to Friday nights, just to be on the safe side, as he already has a lot of music nights booked on saturdays. SO. Friday's it is.

    Last Friday, which was the 17th, the very beautiful and very talented Jay Lafferty headlined, ooh it was smash - numbers were low again though, but some lovely ladies from Dancehouse came to see us and it turned into a really lovely evening again, although I was a wreck cause I was stressing about numbers.

    So this week the fantastic Scott Agnew Headlines, Winner of the 2008 Scottish Comedian of the Year Awards.

    I think the words you are looking for are "Woohoo!" and "Fuck me good on ya!"

  • Comedy Tonight at Gramofon in Glasgow

    Tonight we launch the gig

    Wooohoo

    I'll post a review later on, but I might get very drunk instead, who knows. No I will I promise.

    In the meantime, here's the viral I made for it:


  • RE: Jonboy how did your date go?

    Now then now then now then

    Last night I had kind of a date, well that's inaccurate, I got invited to join a girl I met on the internet, and all her pals in Reflex "the 80s Bar"

    On the way there I got chatting to two girls outside a pub having a fag, I was literally asking for directions to Reflex the eighties bar, the bar with a slogan. Anyway and one of them is all over me. She invites me in and we have a drink and a chat, which, was nicee, then they conveniently disappeared again. How does this work? Is it a pheromone thing? Why is it that when you meet a girl, you never meet one, you always get three at the same time?

    So I texted ahead to my friend from the net and said I'm on my way you can't miss me I'm wearing pink tartan jeans. Which was fine, but I ended up dancing obviously and had a lovely kiss with her pal with the blonde hair. Which was nice of course, but again, where is the logic in this situation. How come if you're single and you meet a girl and you bring up the idea of the two of you going for a drink or something, they'll be all reluctant to come and meet you, and go all coy, but if you meet a girl, and tell her your on your way to meet another girl, or that you just met another girl, all of a sudden you are the most interesting bloke on the planet.

    I imagine this on a biological level being kind of similar to animals at the watering hole, lusting over each other, fighting over each other, having wild and crazy bitey sex, rarrrrr, I could dig all that. It's all the peacock mating stuff that gets on my tits. I have been watching When Women Rule he World and it's hilarious, but we are lost as a species you know that don't you?

    I am single, hear me roar.

    sorry ladies

  • Drouthy's Bar, Ayr

    This wig came from Greece baby, I went on wearing this at Drouthy's on Thursday scremin "If anybody asks, I'm fookin Oirish, right!?!"

    The I went into the Pal Le Guen, and did fifteen minutes baby.

    It wasn't the most packed house in the world, in fact Drouthy's looks a bit shabby when it's none too packed but hey, rock and roll, show goes on and all that, you want to make sure everybody has a great time no matter how many folk turn up, so.

    So I made this dedication to the wig, I hope you like it:
