Am all of a joyous squirm as I've just got tickets for Doug Stanhope's London run in September and am currently raising a posse to attend the Eddie Izzard/Reginald D. Hunter/Dylan Moran uber-gig later in the same month.

This Sunday night will be in Plymouth watching some new comedians and people I've never heard of and will do it again a couple of weeks later.

Am also taking my mum to see Hairspray the musical which is billed as a comedy and yet has Brian Conley and Les Dennis in the cast so I can't see how that's going to work.

What live summer comic delights are other Biscuits sampling?

Oh my word, there's an Izzard/Hunter/Moran gig?

Why was I not informed!?!

This summer, the comic offerings I will most likely be sampling would be Mr B in shorts.

Imagine a very tall stork in khaki shorts and you're getting there.

For anyone interested in how Lembit Opik's comedy career is panning out, Richard Herring's thoughts are here.

Not got any gigs planned to go to but I will be performing myself in a few local places (well local to me). I think I'll probably go to my local comedy club and check out some of the other guys that are just starting out.

I seem to have been off the ball on booking tickets for stuff as I didnt book tickets for my yearly Ross Noble top-up in Newcastle.

Shits, how was the Plymouth gig?

Just got news that Ed Byrne is playing our mid Devon Comedy Hall at the beginning of August. He played here a couple of years ago - quite brilliant.

Plymouth gig had its moments but there was too much clumsy 'Hey, so it's July 4th...' followed by some not at all amusing racism that I'm guessing was improvised. Yes, Bush was stupid he's also no longer President and just saying he's dumb isn't funny. Apparently some Americans are quite fat too, who knew?

Good news about Ed Byrne - he's great.
