Born in Hastings, spending most of my natural life growing up in the splendidly exciting town of Bexhill on Sea. I moved to Brighton in 2001 (not the movie) and now desperately cling to the outer fringes in a curious houseshare in Hanover Completed the Jill Edwards Beginners Stand up Comedy Course in December 2006. Yay! Currently doing the advanced type version. Big Yay! Hve done gigs in Brighton and Hove, All around London, Edinburgh, Croydon, Southampton and Tunbridge Wells. Currently learning to drive and still trying to master learning to walk accurately. Have some deep rooted issues about being called ’My Baby’. Repeatedly asked to repeat what I just said. Tend to nick cigarettes off people in an affable way. Once taught a goat that ’Theres no business like the independent crime business’. Have recently found myself incapable of forming even the slightest of intimate relationships. Have tried a recipe for disaster but it didn’t turn out like the picture in the book. Scared of clowns and gnomes. And Gnowns.

The AudioPhonic Cabaret presents two evenings of slightly bizarre, mostly unrehearsed live music and performance with a vaguely electronic bent [18th December and 4th January]. What it says on the flyer really.
The evening will showcase some new music including performances from acts that hardly even existed before next week!
If you are interested in doing a set on either evening please get in touch to discuss your ideas - performances ranging from 10 seconds to 20 minutes long are welcomed!

Lee I have been very ill all week. I hope I can still make the gong show. If I do at least I will blend in with the other sicko's. It was good bumping into you on Monday you made me smile :). Nice new my space photo by the way. I won't ask if you are going to see The Simpsons I will assume you have seen it, memorised it, got every dvd of it including the costume designer's take of it and you may even be slightly insulted that I even questioned that you have seen it.
I'm great! You?
No Dr Who Series 3 yet. Hopefully in the fall.
I am off to see Monster Bobby and the Pipettes tonight as they are playing Lee's Palace here in Toronto. I kid you not! X
