The Poison Tigger: November 2011
http://benvandervelde.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Http:/ www.benvandervelde.com. Friday, 25 November 2011. Our Marvellous Men in their Flying Machines. For the first time in a while I've been moved to write a blog that wasn't taking the piss out of the news and may not be packed full of funnies. I did a gig for the RAF last night that, whilst not necessarily surprising in its rampant machismo, blinkered prejudice and debauched drunkenness, was also extremely depressing precisely because of these three elements.

That thing we did – Chris Purchase

March 2, 2015. That thing we did. Some of you are already more than aware of the craziness last weekend had in store for myself and Ben Van Der Velde. You tweeted us, you texted us, you called us and one of you hunted us mercilessly just to deliver life saving granola (more on this later) but for all the others that didn’t this is what happened. Over the weekend Ben and I walked between 48-56 miles (we lost track of it) in 21 hours straight for Mark Watson’s 27 Hour challenge. You never forget your first).

The show must go on…. – Chris Purchase
https://dailypurch.wordpress.com/2015/05/16/the-show-must-go-on
May 16, 2015. The show must go on…. I run a show at the lovely Lichfield Garrick theatre. The show is called Comedy 42 and we pride ourselves on it being one of the best shows in the country. We have a fantastic regular audience and sell out every show. We pay our acts well. We are proud of what we’ve accomplished and last night we became even prouder. During the second act of the evening, the marvelous Ben Van Der Velde. Turns out Pam wasn’t bitter about it though, that’s how charming Ben is. Who manage...

Http:/ www.benvandervelde.com. Monday, 3 November 2014. Except maybe going out into the world in Britain in November and having every media outlet, every shop and now the lampposts - the object whose job it is to help me see at night, not feel shame, remorse and upset over an insane cataclysmic conflict - holler at me to remember or you're a bad person and a bad citizen.

The Poison Tigger: No Sex (Outside of a Soundproofed Box) Please, We're British!
http://benvandervelde.blogspot.com/2013/09/no-sex-outside-of-soundproofed-box.html
Http:/ www.benvandervelde.com. Wednesday, 25 September 2013. No Sex (Outside of a Soundproofed Box) Please, We're British! Today Channel Four announced their groundbreaking new show, Sex Box. Was a gritty drama. Are they meant to sit there quietly twiddling their thumbs? Will they each be given a mug and piece of wallpapered plastering to listen through, so they can enjoy the grunts and groans of participants? In my experience there are a myriad of different types of sex, and I'm not talking about positi...

The Poison Tigger: March 2014
http://benvandervelde.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Http:/ www.benvandervelde.com. Wednesday, 19 March 2014. Since the last time I paddled around these blogging waters an awful lot has happened. I've taken over running the excellent Good Ship Comedy, started writing Edinburgh show No.2 and decided to stand as a candidate for the Green Party in the local elections. Ben Van Der Velde.

The Poison Tigger: July 2013
http://benvandervelde.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Http:/ www.benvandervelde.com. Thursday, 4 July 2013. Chain Letter Disciples No.1. With just under four weeks to go until the start of the Edinburgh Fringe (cue involuntary anxiety spasm) and the first of my Chain Letter shows (spasm.hold it together Van der Velde) each preview I do is bringing forth new and excellent stories from audience members who've been inspired by the show and I thought I'd share a few of them with you as they're so good.

The Poison Tigger: Back on the Horse
http://benvandervelde.blogspot.com/2014/09/back-on-horse.html
Http:/ www.benvandervelde.com. Wednesday, 10 September 2014. Back on the Horse. This year's Fringe for me was fine. Not a down-in-flames catastrophe or a blazing glory triumph. I went to Scotland for 25 days, I entertained about 1,000 people and had some pretty decent shows. It was emotionally and artistically pretty fulfilling, but not particularly ground-breaking and no one in the press or industry paid much notice. Do you know what? In response to one pretty gruesome Wizard of Oz gag. 8 Making one of ...
