Who is Bury Bob? Why should I care?

Hi I'm Joe 60's; speed freak, Best Poser award winner at the 'Whiskey a go go', Manchester 1967, John Cooper Clark devotee and life style copier and uncle to comedy upstart Bury Bob.

I've been watching comedy on and off...you know not all the time....for 39 years ...I was gonna say forty but that's not til June. Along the way there's been alot of crap, but just now and again you see someone who you think..''They're even bigger crap than the other lot.....''

Well our Bob fits very nicely into the second catagory in my opinion and his choice of material for this blog was only agreed to after a living room brawl.

We'll be keeping you informed of any new talent we come across and hopefully between here and other blogs get some less famous names up in front of you that we think deserve to be noticed.

Don't be shy about sending us links to sites you think deserve lookin at.


Leave a comment if you like...we won't read em like but the thought's there.

Eddie Izzard

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rL2blQ2PlU4&feature=player_detailpage

I was fortunate to meet Eddie Izzard a couple of times back in the late eighties.
At the time he was working Covent Garden mostly with another guy doing a pretend knife throwing act.
He was a very pleasant man and very giving especially  as both occasions were auditions for gigs.

A highly intelegent comedian, who's flights of fantasy range from the grecian heroes to talking to his computer.

This is an interesting look behind the manic stage personality.
