Influences
All the usual, Victoria Wood and French and Saunders as well as people like Joyce Grenfell. I love old school sit coms like Fresh Fields and Duty Free. Oh and The Good Life etc etc. I know it makes me sound strange but I like them ok!
TV Shows
Beat this comedy stars! Shocked school girl from the left in taggart circa 1991. Hahahahaha! Brutally cut from the DVD version though so I can't prove it.
Films
Currently waiting for confirmation that I have been cast as Ripleys great granddaughter in Alien 5 - the Revenge. Fingers crossed.
Albums
Sure I have made loads of albums. You can find them next to strawberry switchblade in HMV.

Hi Susan, glad you are enjoying the show at the fest. coming to see you on Saturday. Catch you at the bar...I can help to remove the saturday night drunks from the premises!! Looking forward to it! David x
Well hello. It goes well, I thank you. How goes it with you? I do do Facebooking - a lot more regularly than perhaps my boss would like. But my works gets done so where's the harm! I look forward to seeing you there. And here. And hopefully somewhere in the real world again soon. xxx
Hey! Sorry it's taken me so long to get around to this but I just thought I'd pop by to say that your show at Blackfriars was UTTERLY BRILLIANT!!! And it was lovely to finally meet you in person. Let me know when you've got more gigs sorted because I want to take all my friends - I figure that if laughing adds to someone's life expectancy then bringing my friends to your gigs is one of the best gifts I can give them! Hope you're well. xx
Hope yesterday's show went well. Apologies again for not going- to watch Ross Noble from the front row instead. As recompense my photo (on my page) as seen at last nights gig. Probably see at Jojos gig on Thurs if not before x
Well hello. I absolutely think that could, should and shall be my first visit to you of the year. Sounds fab! I'll be there, and I'll bring my little Irish flatmate along with me as she's keen to see you in action. Looking forward to it already. Hope life is being good to you! xx
Hiya, how u doin? Happy New Year! I jus stuck a new tune on my page - Spacemen & Giants. It’s a bit less ‘acousticy’ than my normal stuff and it would be smashin if u could have a wee listen if u got the time and lemme know what u think. Cheers! :-)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I saw you in stand-up twice in 2008. I'm going to try and improve on that in 2009... like, at least three times. Have a brilliant year!! xxx
Hi! Interesting comedians story: http://www. geocities. com/labwhitley@btinternet. com/Tucker. html Yay for the Musical Comedy Podcast I smell a Grammy in the horizon!Thought about cementing the Scotish Rap genre as a serious element of underground? The Clyde Cycle Tunnel is quite good lyric inspiration
You would be proud of me. Yesterday I opened a little-used drawer in my office to find half a packet of M&S 'extremely chocolatey' orange biscuits that I had apparently hidden from myself.
Not only had I hidden them, but I had also sellotaped up the side of the box, and had sellotaped up the inner plastic sleeve as well.
Clearly the biscuits were not intended to be eaten at the time I hid them but sadly, they all met a hasty, frantic end about three seconds after I found them.
So hiding food from yourself DOES work. But only if you have a shit memory and happen to go on holiday for ten days right after you hide stuff.
Hi Susan, I saw your show last Saturday. Thank you for not mocking me when I came in at the last minute. Really enjoyed the show. I haven't tried the chicken in a white sauce yet but it's on my list of things to do before I die. Good luck with the rest of the run. xx
Just like to say thanks for your kind words on Saturday, ment a lot. Also good luck with the Festival show! I look forward to the short clip on Chortle :)
So if I don't see you before, guess I will be seeing you at Stand 4 at 15:00 at some point in Aug!
