Christkindelmarkt & more on Daniel Sloss

Hellooo :)

So, today about half of the college year went to Leeds. Myself, Eliza, Keyana and Katie made up a small part of that half. In a nutshell, Eliza bought a dead fish hat, Keyana bought a cannabis incense stick, Katie nearly froze to death and I didn't do anything funny or sad. Enjoy a few photos...

Eliza and the dead fish hat. We did about 7 laps of the market while she made her mind up about that, and she didn't take it off all the way home

I still don't know if they were *really* pancakes, but they were nice

"Logic will get you from A to B, but imagination will take you everywhere"

We saw Aiden in the bus station (Hi, Aiden!) and I made him take a picture of us. I'm not sure if Eliza was talking, yawning, or being deliberately dim

Right, more on Daniel Sloss. Not much, as I need sleep, but a little more. Firstly, the venue was quite small - though easily the best venue I've been to for comedy yet. You could see the whole audience quite easily and it seems to be true that comedy works best in an intimate venue. We knew who 'stoner man' was by the end of the night. That doesn't generally happen in an arena. Equally, we all witnessed one man spit on another for no reason. You don't get that in an arena either. Secondly, I've never been at a show where the main act invites the whole audience for hugs after the show ends...except for last night. And yes, we did go for hugs, and our group hug was great, thanks ;) I also owe Poppy a response to her battle rap (see yesterday's post), so you can watch for that and it'll complete my story of last night.

Now, that was terrible blogging, but I'm tired, so goodnight.

If you're losing an argument, just battle rap...

I've just got in from seeing Daniel Sloss live in Sheffield with my good friend and comedy twin, Poppy. It was brilliant. In fact, today as whole has been brilliant, but tonight was definitely the best bit :)

To quote myself, taken from Facebook, "Brilliant day laughing at odd strangers in the LRC, spilling coffee all over the field (again), laughing at Cory's Swedish accent, ranting on the way home and finally meeting Daniel Sloss and Kai Humphries with Poppy-Jay...even if she is now battle rapping at me..." 


If I'm being honest, I hadn't heard all that much from Daniel Sloss before, and I hadn't heard anything from Kai Humphries, but the gig was fantastic and I now have two new comedians to stalk follow. I'll write more tomorrow as I'm out all day with friends and will have plenty to say, but in the meantime, here's a picture taken on my phone, and one I stole from Poppy as mine was so terrible...

Hey there, demon eyes...

We were doing the standard ''ohhh, which camera do we look at?!'' laugh, obviously too cool ;)

And just a last photo of Poppy and I - these are obviously our ''we just met two awesome comedians'' faces :)

Thanks must go to Poppy for the free ticket <3 Laughter therapy is the most wonderful sort of therapy I know of and it was awesome to catch up with my CT (that's Comedy Twin, for anybody who isn't myself or Poppy). Love ya, CT! (even if you are a hummussexual...) :)
