How to be an Irish Comedian in 32 easy steps. 32 Counties, 32 Gigs part 25; Donegal. As I died a death by a thousand cuts. After that, I rarely asked her to come along to gigs- I never wanted to risk her seeing me shot down and humiliated; seriously, I died so badly on that night that my mother heard about it the next morning on the List of Bereavements. The death has occurred of Gerard McBride, horribly in a comedy club. House Private. Take my wife, please. Trackback ( 0 ). Comments ( 2 ). You are comme...

How to be an Irish Comedian in 32 easy steps. 32 Counties, 32 Gigs part 23; Cork. Part 23 of my quest to become Irelands foremost comedic Romany Gypsy (always on the road, always begging for gigs) finally brought me back to Cork City for the first time in far too long. Dublin is friggin MARDI GRAS. I hereby cite the case of Mr Plow vs The Plow King, 1992. Seriously, who'da thought that Milkshakes would be so recession proof? Wait around for months between gigs?

How to be an Irish Comedian in 32 easy steps. 32 Counties, 32 Gigs part 26; Monaghan. Yep, this week No Punchline is coming at you Straight Outta Monaghan. Or to be more specific…. But why the big panic attack all of a sudden? Comedians do hometown gigs all the time (shit, I make a living doing the gigs that newer comedians run in their local pubs). Why am I so concerned about my own homecoming? 1; The crowd might be too wary of me. 2; The crowd know me too well. Trackback ( 0 ). Comments ( 0 ). You can ...

How to be an Irish Comedian in 32 easy steps. 32 Counties, 32 Gigs part 22; Tipperary. And, we waited. This is the thing with gigs in the country; sometimes it can be so hard to get punters to a gig. City people and Country people run on two different clocks; tell someone in Dublin that an event starts at nine, they’ll be there at nine. People in the country however, run the alleged starting time through the following algorithm;. If the start time says half eight, then arrive at ten. 2) In the absence of...

How to be an Irish Comedian in 32 easy steps. 32 Counties 32 Gigs part 24; Fermanagh. IT WON'T WASH OFF. While on the previous months job-hunt, several of my friends presented me with the same question; are you going to do comedy full-time now? That’s a thought, isn’t it? To not bother going to look for a new job; instead, just set myself up as an honest-to-God, full-time comedian. Why not, they’d ask. Is that not the general plan; to become an honest-to-God full-time comedian? Shit, all it took was one ...

https://nopunchline.wordpress.com/2011/08/26/24-hours-at-the-edinburgh-fringe
How to be an Irish Comedian in 32 easy steps. 24 Hours at the Edinburgh Fringe. So this week, that’s exactly what I did. It’s his birthday today”. Haggis is FUCKING DELICIOUS. When did street performers get whips? I have a flick through the Fringe brochure/ catalogue thing while having a coffee (my drinking schedule for the day is intended to see me remain relatively sober, and goes alcohol-coffee-alcohol-coffee… That’s sustainable, right? What do I say? What if he makes a show out of me? As for the rest...
