Fun fun fortnight

Hi reader!

It is true to say that there was a lack of postage last week, but hopefully this post, about the last fortnight, will be uber-uber-awesome to make up for it! No promises though...

Firstly, I will have to go all the way back to Monday 2 weeks ago, when I went to THE MOST AMAZING COMEDY NIGHT EVER! Imanaged to finally get myself over to the Old Rope comedy club, in the phoenix pub just off of Oxford Street. And I can't recommend it enough. 10 comedians for the bargain price of £5, and I managed to go on the night of the most amazing line up EVER, including comedians Joe Lycett, Iain Stirling, Eric Lampaert, Milton Jones and Mark Watson! So, if you're bored on a monday and near London, this is definitely something worth checking out!

The next event didn't arrive until that Friday, where I went, along with my friend to see 'I Can't Sing: The X Factor Musical'. Seats were amazing-1st row of the Royal Circle, seats 3 and 4-especially bearing in mind they were 100% FREE!!! This was thanks to the fact that the people behind the musical needed 100 people to pose for photos, so they could be used to make an awesome backdrop, and in return we would all receive 2 tickets for the play. 50 of these photos would be used and, as luck would have it, MINE WAS USED! If you go, I'm 4th row back, 1 from the middle to the right. As for the musical itself, it was bizarre, brilliant, and unexpectedly enjoyable! Seriously, if I'm honest, I did doubt how much I'd like it, but I really did in the end.

Next came my first TV filming of 2014-a pilot of a TV show called 'Junk', hosted by Joe Lycett (2nd mention of the blog post. Typical, as I'd never seen him live before). I'll be honest, I had a little bit of an excited-fangirl moment, something that doesn't happen too often for me, when the guests were announced. Lloyd Griffith warmed us up, and Nish Kumar, Katherine Ryan and James Acaster were all guests. These names probably mean very little to most, but, to me, they are absolutely awesome! As for the show itself, I enjoyed it. Yes, it may have been a little bizarre, and a lot of my fellow audience members may have left talking about how they didn't really enjoy it, but for me it was a brilliant (not to mention free) opportunity to see some of my favourite comedians!

I also got the opportunity to see one of my very best friends who I've known since I was around 3 years old, which was great, and purchased a personalised, signed, copy of Dick and Dom's new joke book! And last, but not least, I went to the Thorpe Park preview weekend on Sunday (I'll be honest, from now until approx. September theme parks will most certainly be a reoccurring theme in this blog).

Well, enough rambling for now. 'Til next time!
