There is some chance that as you read this, the sun may be out in the United of Kingdoms, so what better way to celebrate than to stay in and watch YouTube videos? I GOT YOU COVERED.

In what can only described by someone with no awareness of the internet as An Internet Takeover, I have featured in no less then THREE EXCITING MOVING PICTURES this month. Yes, almost TEN MINUTES of my face on your computer. This must be how it feels to be some kind of Kardashian.

Firstly, episode 2 of my ongoing comedy/tragedy saga Table For One took in East London, food and loneliness with devastating consequences. Peep it and subscribe, natch:



Then in a very exciting and unexpected turn, the new Life Of Si video got an early release to be part of YouTube Comedy Week, where it has been seen by about 7364856382 less people than the bang-on-trend Mr Bean clips which were more prominently featured in the year 2013. Talk about speechless. YES, A MR BEAN JOKE LET'S ALL DIE HAPPY.



I'm not usually one to crow about adverts and that (but I do LOVE NANDOS HI NANDOS) but I was in one recently with Sy Thomas and they really let us do our own thing in it and it turned out pretty sweet. Also I got to do 'stunts' (sit next to a man driving a car fast IT TOTALLY COUNTS).



And if by now you're not sick of the sight (or sounds) of me & Sy, you can hear him on mine & Joe Bor's podcast, The Neurotics talking about comedy and neurosis and internet dating... DREAMY:



I'm not doing the Edinburgh Fringe this year but I'll be running out my constant work-in-progress hour-long show for 2 night's at the Camden Fringe in that there London on Sat 25th & Sun 26th August. Tickets are on sale now I think so I should probably sort out some posters and shit. Plus jokes.

I'll almost certainly be giving away some twerpy promo trinkets at those shows but I reckon also at gigs throughout the summer in a scheme I'm calling Bringing The Mountain (Arthurs Seat) To Mohammed (anywhere outside of the Edinburgh Fringe). So come to a gig and collect some free tat that you can throw away on the way home. Nice!

Spring Isn't The Air

I swear to God I saw some sun recently. If I had to describe it, it would say it looked kinda like the dude from the Kia Ora advert. Still, when I planned on writing this a couple of weeks ago it was snowing so I guess it's about baby steps...

Not sure if you noticed in my last missive I was doing a solo show. I was pretty low-key about the whole thing. Good news is that some kind, good-hearted, generous-laughing people turned up and we had a blast. Even gooder news is that I will be doing 2 nights at the Camden Fringe in August which YOU CAN TOTALLY COME TO PLEASE (24th & 25th August, 6pm , Etcetera Theatre, deets to follow) etc...

In other news, there's some super-fun Life Of Si shenanigans bubbling up which will hopefully be revealed in the next month or so. If your eyes cannot wait for that tag-team prickery then I have started a new web series JUST FOR YOU (and me, alone) called Table For One which you should absolutely watch and then subscribe and then tell 57 friends and then tell your Dad who makes TV shows OK COOL:



Podcast and associated neuroses are still ticking over nicely thanks. Here's us getting up in Paul F Taylor's business:



It's been a great month for Seeing Other People's Shows too. I managed to catch visiting sartorial gent Paul F Tomkins at Soho Theatre which was an absolute treat, see Pappy's 'Last Show Ever' at the same place which was delightful and celebrate rock chums Don Broco selling out Koko (!) and tearing it a new botty-pipe. Immense.

See you soon, outdoors, shivering because I am under-dressed and it's not the summer yet. NICE.

AND WE'RE BACK. Just a quick precis of the last couple of months to serve as a piss-poor smokescreen while I blatantly plug my upcoming work-in-progress solo show (MONDAY 4th MARCH IN CAMDEN ONLY £5). Subtle yeah? (Please come).

The Neurotics Podcast is still ticking over nicely, with new episodes including the Non-Denominational Festive Edition with Brett Goldstein and the Accidental Valentines Edition with Tiff Stevenson.

Some extra special Life Of Si business is brewing and will hopefully be revealed in the coming months. Suffice it to say we have been suffering for our 'art' in a not-disimilar manner to The Incident On The Heath...

And in betwixt twatting about everywhere for larks, I put together a little pilot for local radio upstart Kilburn To Kensal which involves A LOT of guitars. Get it up your ears. If you like that kinda thing.

Back sooner I promise with more questionable jokes and pointless links. Did I mention my WORK IN PROGRESS SHOW ON MARCH 4th PLEASE COME I LOVE YOU IN THE FACE BYE x
