Blog Cherry


Ok, I have no idea why I am doing this, but it's something new so I thought I'd give it a try.
For the past 8 weeks I have been the warmup act for the Craig Doyle show out in RTE. We record on Wednesday and it's broadcast on Saturday night. Last Wednesday was the last show. I met Jedward. Yes. I did. My kids were well impressed so I knew they would be impressed with a pic of their old man and I asked the security guard to take it. I guess he was not very au fait with technology as this is the pic he took. They are the hands of Jedward on my shoulders.

Have to say I am very excited about the impending Cat Laughs weekend in Kilkenny on the June Bank Holiday weekend. It's just an amazing feeling to be part of a fantastic comedy festival like this and to be on the bill with some of the very best in the business. I have shows with Dara O'Briain, Des Bishop, Colin Murphy. Alun Cochrane amongst others. I hope I don't let myself down and can justify inclusion amongst some of these superbly talented and gifted comedians. I will be doing 5 shows down there and it cannot come quick enough now ! I will be dusting off the old football boots for the big showdown with the Rest of the World team on the Sunday. We lost 4-2 last year and revenge is on our minds !

Ok, so there is my first blog. Boring, wasn't it ? I'll try figure out what I can do with this and hopefully make it a lot more entertaining. Blog cherry is now popped
