If You Can’t Beat Them, Join Then

Regular readers of this blog (are there any out there!?) will pretty much know by now that I take quite a lot of urine out of myself when it comes to matters of love (or more precisely, the complete lack of it). But they do say that if you can’t laugh at yourself, what’s the point of laughing at all?

So, I thought it was about time I did a bit of laughing of my own.

As a result, after seeing an absolutely hilarious stand-up routine on television some time back that had me gasping for air, I’m off to see Omid Djalili at The Lowry in Manchester on Sunday night.

“Omid who?” I heard you say (well, you might have, otherwise this blog entry ends up coming to a crashing conclusion rather fast). Anyhow, the answer to your "question" is that he’s one of Britain’s funniest stand-up comedians who prides himself on being the only Iranian comedian which, he says, is "technically three more than Germany". Ah, I'm laughing already...
