Attending a student comedy gig tonight at my chum Adem‘s place of work, the Thanet branch of Canterbury Christ Church University has reminded me of when I used to see a lot more comedy when I was younger. A local pub used to have gigs on and we would go to watch in the room upstairs and have a great time. It was there I first saw people like Ross Noble, Andrew Maxwell and many others, some of which have gone on to much better things.
I would also visit Jongleurs and other comedy clubs and have a really good time. I used to watch comedy videos all the time, stand up, TV series, sketch shows I loved it all. Actually I still do love it all and wish I got out to more live gigs and had the opportunity to watch more comedy on TV.
Perhaps I should finally bite the bullet and buy a new TV to put into my ‘attic room’ and hook a DVD player up to it so that I can watch funny stuff whilst Mrs Tom watches programmes about murders on obscure satellite TV channels.
