The wrong Bingo yesterday.
This is not an invitation for the middle-aged heavyweight ladies amongst you to get too excited, it’s not an opportunity for you to wave your blubbery arms aloft, shouting “Hooooosey! Hooooosey!”
No, this is not about the joys of life-destroying addictive gambling dressed up in a big shed on an out of town retail park as a glittery social opportunity. No this is about my return to the Grinning Idiot at The Alexandra in Sunderland this Friday, where Bingo (from Benton) will be “Deein’ topical”
For those of you who’ve not seen Bingo dee topical, he’ll be looking into the week’s news in depth and discussing the issues raised, with his own, diverse perspective. And swearing a lot.
The line-up is tremendous, a Canadian I worked with last year called Wes Zaharuk, who’s act has to be seen. I’ve tried to describe it to people and it just sounds wrong, you’ve just got to come and see him, and the ever-brilliant Danny Deegan, a young deadpan Mancunian with a razor sharp tongue.
Right Bingo, all a bit wrong, yesterday.
Saturday night will see me cleverly try to compete with the England game in the World Cup, I’d like to say I’ll sack my agent, but I booked this one myself. I’m hoping it works like one big ‘toilet trick’ – where going to the bog makes your team score, so missing the whole game should see us thrash the Ham Shanks.
I look forwrad to seeing all of you who’ll be coming to this weekend’s gigs.
Finally a big thanks to Jason Manford who sent his Twitter followers to my blog yesterday, sending the hit rate through the roof.
Leeydaaaaaazzzz
