"immediately charismatic was local boy Chris Forbes. Razz has reviewed him before when he performed at beginner’s nights at The Stand.
Taking a 10-minute guest spot this time, he seemed a confident stand-up who could soon handle bigger things.
Imagine Father Dougal’s innocent playfulness crossed with a mind that finds much inspiration in the toilet bowl.

About me: The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.
Who I'd like to meet: Everyone and anyone who loves to laugh
Howdy!! Any word on that comp for you guys to gig at the Hackney Empire? Was at this gig in Shoreditch called Sketchup Tuesday past and it was totally hit or miss.

yes you are correct. i do have plenty of views and opinions and i've been pushing them on everyone that is willing is listen. and even those who wont listen, but need to hear them because their views are stupid and wrong.
i'm normaly not much for that sissy crap you listen to but i must admit coldplay has put out some good stuff.
Hi Chris, thanks very much for your message and I'm really glad you like the song. Great to be in touch with a comic - it's usually just musicians! I enjoy laughing a lot too. Good luck with all your stuff. Mu husband is Scottish too and also likes wearing a kilt. Rebecca x
Yeah buddy, I miss you even though I never call (cause Im an asshole) but I am doing great and my son will come any day now so I am getting a little anxious but other then that I start at the University of Arizona in the Spring and I plan on going to LA for New Year's Eve. What about you are you still thinking of moving to Toronto? How's the stand-up routine treating you? Are you going to have an HBO special or what? Dude gimmie your phone number and I will call you for sure...I just got this new long distance called SKYPE and it costs me like 3 cents a minute to call Great Britain. Anyway bro, have a great weekend and I'll catch up with you later.

as always there is always a new $Matt Brown$ story to tell. but the punch line works best if told over the phone. so next time you call ask about the "pink Party". and as myspace might have already told you my birthday is on this coming monday so there is sure to be another good story this weekend or next.
