As stated in my headline, I'll be writing a book over the next few months so gigs will be thin on the ground. Although my first DVD with Universal will be out in November. Including 1 1/2 hours of hilarious extras. Featuring a commentary with Adam Bloom, Ben Norris, Dave Hadingham and TV's ED Byrne (His actual full name)
I've seen the final master of the DVD and I'm really thrilled with it. It certainly feels live as we kept in quite a few awkward moments WINK!
The book is "Fear of Hat loss in Las Vegas" a pet project that I've had on the back burner for nearly four years now. It was originally going to be part three of my trilogy but instead I went mad.
It's the tale of what happened when Barry Castagnola, Paul Provenza, Barry's Dad Keith and I went to Vegas to take a photo of us on the back seat of a convertible with the Nevada sky line behind us. It was part of, what I saw, as a spiritual vigil. In actual fact it turned out to be a tale of debauchery and perception.
Keith Castagnola (Barry's Dad) passed away recently so I will dedicate the book to him and the hilarious memories he gave to all that met him.

Speaking of Barry I'm still waiting on a schedule date for the shooting of our pilot, "Burns Unit" also featuring Adam Bloom and Reg Hunter. It's being produced by uber-producer Jon Plowman. I guess the biggest difficulty with that is that the man's so fucking successful that any conversation with him is cut in half with the guy having to go off and accept yet another lifetime achievement award.

I'm sorry if I've been a bit shit at keeping this updated but I'll be indoors a lot more now and can devote a bit more time to such folly.
Oh yeah and I'll be in Oz end of December early Jan doing gigs and telly. Then LA for February
Cheers

Any chance of swinging past china and doing a secret gig in my living room? Or will they not let you in? I'll charge an admittance fee to help your poor impoverished self out...

I saw you last year at reading, and this year at reading! I was confused by all the ozzie comics, but fortunately I realised you were the one who was funnier than the others. Good shout dude, and I'll see you soon with luck. Congrats on an awesome 2009 reading set. :D
