Waiting for Jimmy

The Thursday Club - one of the few nights there isn't another commitment going on in my busy home.  Although the "Thursday Club" has only met twice, this week was a particularly good meeting as my friend and co-founder of the "Thursday Club" purchased tickets to go and see Jimmy Carr at the De Montfort Hall as part of the Leicester Comedy Festival.

He was very funny indeed, very rude, very shocking.  I was amazed that anyone can stand up and do a full two hours of comedy like that - he was extremely professional and fantastic at "cutting down" the stupid hecklers who could barely string a sentence together let alone say something intelligent.  It made me almost embarrassed to be part of the audience!

I can't remember jokes, they don't seem to store in my head for some reason.  But as I rolled over in bed on Friday morning and pressed "snooze" on my alarm clock and started to giggle, remembering one he had said..."who likes the snooze button? It's just what you need after an 8 hour sleep isn't it...a nap"!

A brilliant night had by all, as long as you were not from Scotland, Liverpool, Manchester, Sunderland, or Madonna, or sad when Princess Diana died....his list of "close to the bone" humour could probably go on, but I think it's best to stop there!
