Went to to see Bill Bailey [perform] at the Sydney Theatre last night. It was a good show, and included an impromptu foray into the near limitless powers of our own Dr Karl¹. Bill Bailey was fabulous as Manny in Black Books, and generally he’s one of the more likeable comedians about.

I’ve never personally understood why anyone would want to do stand-up, but for a time I was quite keen on doing a bit of comedy writing. Unfortunately my output was a little on the low side, and so to date I have only seen one of my scripts actually performed. It was about ten years ago, and was performed by my girlfriend at the time and another friend, neither of whom have I seen for ages. My recollection is that it went quite well, although obviously not well enough to inspire me to greater things.

And so, for the record, published here for the very first time in the history of humanity is: The Goldfish Sketch

1. Dr Karl is very popular here; I once saw evidence of this when a physics lecture I was attending got derailed by a huge number of people turning up early for a "fun with science" talk he was to give there.
