Hello!
Yes, for the first time ever I will not be hosting Too Far Comedy this Monday! At the start of the year I decided that even if I can’t make it, the show must go on.
So while I’m nervous about leaving my baby. I’m delighted to say you’ll be in the safe hands of a guest MC…
Drum roll please!
Your guest MC for this Monday will be….
Tom Dell!
Tom has been a regular at Too Far Comedy since we began and has been one of the comedians helping run the night smoothly this year. Lauren Emina-Bougaard will help Tom on Monday. Please come along to the Artillery Arms and give them lots of support. Doors open at 7.15pm. It should be a cracking night!
I’ll be in a secret location which I’ll tell you about next week!
😂 Far Too Funny List
📺 Watching - I’ve followed Fahim Anwar on Instagram for a while and always enjoy his new material. I was reading Geoff Plitt’s substack: What We Need To Know and he recommended Anwar’s new Don’t Tell set. It’s funny stuff. I bet he’s not alone in posing for the Uber Eats guy!
🎧 Listening - Just finished a fascinating audiobook called Kind of a Big Deal by Saul Austerlitz. It’s about how the movie Anchorman became a global phenomenon. I was amazed by how many times the pitch for the movie got rejected, how much the script changed, and the amount of leeway the actors got to improv and ad-lib. This is a great listen for any Anchorman or Will Ferrell fans.
If you don’t have Audible, you can try it here for free for three months.
📕 Reading - Reader’s Digest have a fun quick interview with Richard Herring. I particularly like his weirdest heckle!
