Preview time! Please come along.

I had my first preview last night for the Genesis show that I'll be doing chez Edinburgh (and London) this August. It's a show all about the book of Genesis, with guest comics and other surprises (if I think of any). Last night went better than I thought it would, so that's nice and reassuring. But there's lots to be done - this is the season where comedians tremble like it's their first gig again, as we take to the stage with an hour of mostly new jokes, or ideas that might be jokes, or words that might make a sentence which may or may not prompt a smirk. So we need you!

These gigs are always at smaller venues, hidden away in secrecy so that the reviewers can't find us - this means that audience members are sparse. Plus the sun comes out (or should do, any day now), so people go into beer gardens and way from comedy clubs. So if you can make it to any previews, and quote 'Your blog said you'd buy me a drink if I turned up', then I'll buy you a drink. Deal.

At some point shortly I'll probably also post this on Facebook too somehow, if I can work out if it's a Group or an Event or a Note or a Posted Item (I've whittled it down - it's definitely not a Photo). And you might get an email from me about it too. But you heard it here first - here's where you can the Genesis show, either in preview or in finished form. Previews are cheaper of course. Oh, and I'll also list where I'm doing a couple of performances of last year's Edinburgh show, Back To The Futon.

Worth checking with me directly before coming down to any of the previews, cos some do cancel or rearrange, and also some are quite vague (good like in finding the show in just 'Manchester')...
