| 1) BRIDGET CHRISTIE – MY DAILY MAIL HELL My wife B Christie is on tour, and her earnings go into our joint account for food for our joint child, so please go.
In
2003 Bridget began doing open spots on the comedy circuit and working
on the Diary column of the Daily Mail. Whilst there, Bridget was strangled
by Gene Wilder, fed a fish by Peter Stringfellow and ignored by David
Dimbleby. . See how Alan Yentob fell off a chair. Hear what Liam Gallagher
said at the premiere of Shrek 2. Touch a real cup once held by Jack
Vettriano. Find out why Anthony Andrews diluted all the salt in his
body and nearly died. But above all, share in the baffling experience
of a provincial Gloucester girl, with no real qualifications, adrift
in the sophisticated world of wealth and fame. MY DAILY MAIL HELL
premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2009 and was described
by The Times as "Utterly entertaining" and by The Sunday
Express as "an endearing mix of simmering cynicism and wide-eyed
innocence" . Bridget was a finalist in the Funny Women Final
2004, nominated for the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year 2005,
and won the inaugural Funny Women Best Show Fringe Award 2007. She
was nominated for the Chortle Best Breakthrough Act 2009. March April |

CHELTENHAM JAZZ FESTIVAL Staying the West I am curating two nights of Stewart Lee’s Freehouse for the Cheltenham Jazz Festival Having
seen me enjoying various improvised music gigs over the years, Tony
Dudley-Evans of the Cheltenham Jazz Festival thought he could exploit
my tenuous f-list celebrity comedian status to promote an improvised
music strand this year, as if I were some kind of fat Jamie Cullum
from an alternate dimension. Stewart Lee presents the second of three nights featuring some of the finest improvised music. Tonight legendary saxophonist Evan Parker leads some of the world’s finest performers, appearing in a variety of combinations. Appearing tonight are drummer Mark Sanders, bassists John Edwards and Percy Pursglove, drummer Andrew Bain alongside Korean born cellist Okkyung Lee and trumpeter Peter Evans both leading performers from New York. For the final night of his special free-jazz series Stewart Lee introduces a night led by top British drummer Mark Sanders. Tonight trombonist Gail Brand, bassist John Edwards, pianist Pat Thomas and Empirical saxophonist Nathaniel Facey perform experimental improvisations in a range of on stage line ups.
