These blurbs do my head in if Im honest, each year I need to sit and write one out before I even know what stories Im gonna share, well I mean I dont have to write one I could pay something else to do it but f★★★ that theyd just write some mundane vague crap which I can clearly do myself. At least this way you know I've written it personally. So what's the new show about? Again, I dont yet, but it will contain at least one yer maw Joke, what I do know is that itll be another brand new 80-90 minutes of stories, opinions and observations about me, and my family as well as you all its always about people and the mad shit we do, sometimes animals but more often than not it's about people and the stupid scenarios we end up in. I wonder if that's now enough wordage to cover the minimum blurb requirement? I guess we'll see, and Ill see you all soon maybe - oh, one last thing, my show isnt suitable for small people, some of it might be about them, in fact it definitely will but, yeah they aint getting in :)
