Bike Shed Festival
So a month from now, the folks behind Behind The Bike Shed are having a festival this summer.
Their most ambitious project yet: four shows in four venues. More details TBA, but you can follow their progress on twitter.

Clubbed
Coop's Comedy Club was a success. I've know idea how much money it made, but the audience seemed to have a great time.
I didn't get a chance to listen to the comedy music, but Andrea Hubert's opening and closing stand up was great. I was dubious about whether a mix of stand up and sketch comedy would work, but I was definitely proven wrong.
Zoe & Catherine's series of Flatmate sketches work very well and I think a show made up entirely of them could be incredibly funny. Gi Lewis' Interview & Fitness Instructor sketches brought the house down. Will Huggins' commitment saw to that.
Both the monologues I wrote seemed to get a good reaction. The Karen speech that Zoe performed was the original (this was the sequel). The other was a video rental shop lamenting his lot in life. I did that. I'm hoping to record them both.

Carruthers Camera #4
Another batch of photos I took for the Carruthers blog:
Hop is a contribution to the collection of filth that accompanies the posts about our sex therapist sketch.
Suburban Shroomin' is a photograph taken of the worktop in the kitchen at my parent's house. I posted it to complement Mike's Drugs scene. I hasten to add that as far as I know neither of my parents take magic mushrooms, I've no idea why anyone would need such a bag though.
Barrel Fever was taken in another kitchen and ended up in another sex therapist post.
What day is it... was a homemade discarded sign for some event or other.
Take your pick was taken on an empty tube train, obviously. Empty except for me that is, obviously. This ended up in a trainspotting scene post. I suppose that was obvious too.

Abandon Shop...
...This is not a daffodill.
Why can't all computer malfunctions be that much fun?
My laptop broke. And then it was fixed.
And then it broke again:
IDE Disk S/N = SB0211SGGEKSSB
Error Code - 0F00: 075D
Msg: IDE device failed. The self test failed this porton of the test.
IDE Disk S/N = SB0211SGGEKSSB
Error Code - 0F00: 0244
Msg: Block 6430591: Uncorrectable data error or media is write protected.
IDE Disk S/N = SB0211SGGEKSSB
Error Code - 0F00: 1A44
Msg: Block 6430591: Uncorrectable data error or media is write protected.
IDE Disk S/N = SB0211SGGEKSSB
Error Code - 0F00: 1A44
Msg: Block 6430591: Uncorrectable data error or media is write protected.
IDE Disk S/N = SB0211SGGEKSSB
Error Code - 0F00: 1A44
Msg: Block 91855923: Uncorrectable data error or media is write protected.
So that was two error codes in two blocks. I searched online at the library and understood almost nothing of what I found. Apparently my hard drive had bad sectors. Thanks to Dean for his fantastic effort in fixing it again.

Coop's Comedy Club Tonight
It's today.I'm in three scenes and I've written two, but of far more interest are the half a dozen scenes I'm nothing to do with, the DJ playing 'comedy music', the award winning stand-up comedian and the DJ playing 'music with less comedy content' also on the bill.

Dematerialise This
I filmed this over-active security light in North London late one night because I thought it looked a bit like everybody's favourite time machine taking off.
