1st August 2014 - Tomorrow, we party.

Hello once again. Firstly, I must announced that my blog posts for both the 2nd and 3rd of August will be late. The reason for this? Over these days, I will be away from my computer, joining in the celebrations for the birthday of my friend and fellow comedian, Kate Cherrell.

Her birthday falls on August 2nd. As is customary for the birthdays of my creative friends (when I remember), I am going to use this opportunity to promote her work, so people who like me can give someone I like a nice, little, free birthday present, while having a nice ol' laugh at the same time.

Kate is one-half of comedy double-act, Biscuit and Brawn (she is the Brawn half). Along with Adele, they have made handfuls of silly, funny videos, that can be found on their YouTube channel by clicking here. Alternatively, you can click the below video to watch one of their videos.

Kate has also made videos on her own, as one of the members of our Vlogtober gang last October (along with Adele). In fact, the entire concept was Kate's idea, so she should be thanked for kicking us all up the bum a bit just over 10 months ago. Her solo channel can be found here. Below is one of the videos from her channel, where she makes cakes. She's like Ainsley Harriott for the Bebo Generation.

Hopefully this will drive a couple of views, subscriptions, and fans Kate's way, because she's really cool. The same goes for Biscuit and Brawn, of course.

I intend on using the 40 minute journey from Tring to London Euston tomorrow to write something for my August 2nd entry. I am leaning towards writing some stand-up; I think this is because I have often written stand-up before when on the train to a gig, so it feels like they go hand-in-hand (despite the fact trains don't have hands. Yet.) The stand-up will not be disclosed in a blog, though, as I much prefer expressing stand-up comedy ideas as they were intended to be expressed; on stage, in front of an audience. Not to mention the fact that the ideas/jokes will probably be unfinished, and I'd rather not release that area of work until I feel I have it right.

Tomorrow should be lots of fun. It is the kind of birthday party I like; videogames, food, drink, and lovely company (some of whom I haven't met, and others I haven't seen for far too long). Also, spending time with other creative types can often be great for creativity itself, so that's always a good thing to do.

Speaking of other creative types, I saw Dan this evening, and you will be pleased to know that we have both kept to our promises so far; he is making good progress with his novel, The Hawker, which I am thrilled to hear.

Now, let's get to the true point of this blog. I have just one question; is it wrong to beat someone at Super Smash Bros. Melee on their birthday? Because me and Jigglypuff are like the Muhammad Ali of that game...basically, in 10 years time there will be a film about us made, with Will Smith playing Jigglypuff. The theme song? Will's hit track, Gettin' Jiggly Wit It. It'll spawn a spin-off, The Fresh Puff of Bel-Air. Can't bloody wait.

Thanks for reading!

Tom.
