I convinced the guys at Londonist to let me interview other comics on the circuit whose act really excites me. Here's the first one, with After School Club regular Gerry Howell. I had lots to ask him - what it feels like to be compared to Eddie Izzard, what he thinks about other genres of comedy, the writing process, what inspires him... the interview lasted 45 minutes, and as you all know, I'm terrible at editing my own work. When I went to sleep last night I'd managed to get it down to 5,000 words, and I didn't want to delete any of it! But I managed it. I had a lot of fun writing it, I hope you'll enjoy it too!

For those of you who don't know him, here's the man doing what he does best - drinking goose fat (doing stand-up):

Hello mum! I'm Chris, the 2194th best stand-up comedian in the whole of London!

This is my blog. Imagine that! I mostly talk about gigs I've done, stuff I've done, things I've found, and thoughts I think.

I've set it up so that you can comment on my blog entries even if you don't have a blog yourself, so if you're reading this, comment and say hi! :)
