Bingo, Festivals and Far-Flung Funnies

O M Gosh guys! I'm SOOOOOO sorry for the delayed blog update. It's tough being as in demand as me and I totally lost track of time. Soz x100! Still, here's what I've been up to. Remember to follow me on tiktok and facebook if you don't already. One's got over 3,000 followers the other...well, a few less.

So where do I start? Well let's talk about Glossop Comedy Festival. Amaaaaazing! My sensible brother, Andy Quirk, organised it and there was 14 shows going on in the upstairs of The Oakwood last weekend. I was there both as a solo artiste and also as one half of Disco Divorce Party with my mate Annie Sup. DDP really got things going on the Friday night and we had a right proper laugh. On Saturday I brought my own solo stylings to the stage after the marvellous Ali Woods and them what stuck around waved their arms about, clapped along and laughed on more than one occasion. I HAVE VIDEO IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME! Proper good laugh, love it. Only one more festival to go this year and that's at Retfest on Sunday 24th October, 8pm, at The Brewshed in Retford. Event invite here.

There have been some proper nice gigs in the last few weeks as well. A couple of weeks ago I powered my mighty micra to Rhyl in North Wales to MC Rhyl Comedy Club at The Little Theatre. I went early to beat the traffic (and find a petrol station with fuel in it) so once I got there I did a little tour of the town. Found some proper decent Boohoo in a charity shop and played the 2p sliders in their seaside arcade. I rate their sausage and chips 7/10 as it tasted good but it took AAAAGES thanks to all the telephone orders they had. Serious, who dials up for chips? They're probably scammers anyway. Phishing... 

Right but the gig yes, well it was totally amaaaazing (x100) and they was a proper nice audience. I ribbed the stag do who'd decided we was the new Jongleurs and questioned the life choices of a man who didn't know what beer he was drinking. I also did THREE costume changes, including one featuring my new Boohoo bargain. You get your money's worth with Miss Angela Bra, oh yes.

I also did a nice little gig in Leeds just before the Wales jolly and this week I headlined Early Risers in Liverpool. Not a club for farmers but parents as it turned out and they was lovely. We had a good singalong and I learned all about the games what they play over there before doing my boardgame song. Big thanks to the man who had to fiddle with my volume knobs at the start of the set - it turned out bangin' in the end.

So that leaves the bingo. And it really was bingo-go-go, halfway around the Manchester orbital and then some to make it to Leyland near Preston. The pub was boomin' and the players were plastered so I shimmied, shook and spouted numbers like my little life depended on it. I made some top mates for the night, called a man short and gave away 3 inflatable willies. All in a night's work for the hardest working comedienne / bingo caller in the business. We've got 13 dates between November and December. Hotter than a swipe right on the tinders.
