Answer:-
Because you took all my money in bank fees, and all my girlfriend is currently getting for Valentine's Day this year is a card made from dried pasta glued to sugar paper.
I look forward to your cheque.

Hey everyone -
And so Totally Looped has started, following last night's snowy and eventful show! Thanks to everyone who came out into the frosty Epsom evening.
Just to let those keen Essex bods know, I now won't be appearing in Southend. Sorry about that. Phill Jupitus is appearing instead. I trust this will be devastating to the people of that fine county.
There's a nice big article on Totally Looped in today's Independent. Click here to read it!
My next date is in Bracknell next week. Until then, I'm trying to stay warm. There should also be some new videos on YouTube before the end of the week.

Looped Bootcamp
[Or "Loopedcamp"? No, I don't think that works...]
This week sees training for Totally Looped. Not rehearsal, as that would imply foreknowledge of the clips that we will be dubbing. We don't have that luxury. Our only safety net is blind terror and audience goodwill.
It has been magical, terrifying, baffling and exciting. Today, I offered Hattie Hayridge a Twiglet. The other day, Marcus Brigstocke smacked Humphrey Ker from the Penny Dreadfuls with a rolled-up newspaper before even saying hello. This is the sort of entertainment that money cannot buy.
Except, it can! Tickets are still available for all shows, including the six I shall be performing at. Please do drop by and yell at us whilst we're on stage. (There are also some cheap tickets on lastminute.com.)
Those dates again:-
Monday 2 Feb - Epsom Playhouse (with Marcus Brigstocke, Pippa Evans and the Penny Dreadfuls) - link
Thursday 12 Feb - Bracknell South Hill Park (with Joe Liss and the Penny Dreadfuls) - link
Friday 13 Feb - Southend Palace (with Sanjeev Bhaskar, Pippa and Joe) - link
Saturday 14 Feb - Wycombe Swan (with Sanjeev, Pippa and Joe) - link
Sunday 22 Feb - Peterborough Key (with Hattie Hayridge, Joe and the Penny Dreadfuls) - link
Saturday 7 March - Newcastle Journal Tyne (with Marcus, Pippa and Joe) - link

Panto next week!
The Surbiton pantomime that I've written the songs for is next week. All songs are now up on YouTube, handily in order in this Playlist... (click left and right arrows to scroll through the videos)
The production is sold out, I believe, but I'll try to get some footage of the cast singing the songs this weekend!
(There's also a couple of new songs on the YouTube channel. Do subscribe and rate!)

Wateracre on the Oxfam Unwrapped DVD
Hello all -
Anyone who received a gift worth more than £50 from Oxfam Unwrapped over Christmas received a comedy DVD called "The Art Of Giving".
It featured Johnny Vegas, Justin Lee Collins, Richard Ayoade, Jenny Eclair, Meera Syal, and me.
I wrote a song specifically for it whilst in Edinburgh, and was filmed singing it whilst sitting in a tree, and then whilst wandering around a soggy Pleasance Courtyard with a very patient and forgiving umbrella-bearer in pursuit!
A photo of me also appeared on the back cover, nestling in between Milton Jones and Natasha Kaplinsky, a very nice place to nestle, for sure...
I'll post a re-recorded version of the song, "Give Give Give" on YouTube at some point, but if you received an expensive, ethical present for Christmas, do seek out my little song! It's at the end, over the credits.
Do buy presents from Oxfam Unwrapped! They're marvellous! My parents were given bees for Christmas. BEES!
Thanks to director Marcus Shepherd for asking me to take part!
