Good to hear about the book – I’ve read ‘Murder and ‘CATE’ and loved them both, also glad to have the non-footie version of the blog to read otherwise I’d have had to put effort in to learning about football….I don’t have that kind of commitment.

Dear Mark,

For valentines day, my girlfriend brought me a ticket for your gig in Plymouth on Feb 2011.

Although I am very pleased with the present, I would like to warn you that I have a bad history of long term gig plans and have tried to avoid booking anything further than a month in advance.

The reason for this, is that I still have the ticket for a 1994 Nirvana gig in Cardiff, that was never performed. This gig was cancelled as Kurt Cobain shot himself in the head.

I am concerned that this was partly due to my early booking of the tickets and felt I should warn you in advance.

Cheers,

Simon French

Hi Mark,

After seeing two blog posts with 0 comments, I felt it my duty to leave something here as a bit of a morale boost for you and encourgement to keep the blogging up. Then I realised you’re a big alt.comedy celebrity with cider adverts and all sorts on the CV, and realised how completely irrelevant and unnecessary my sentiments were. Joking aside, We Need Answers is fantastic stuff, as is No More Women. You and the two other men that help out are a great comedy-combo (shortenable to, er… ComBo), and the mentioning of Andy Dibble and Les Sealey the other week was lovely.

And it was nice of you to bring Stewart Lee’s name into a recent match of No More Women too – no hard feelings lingering over the 15-minute finale to his recent tour which centres around your pear cider advert I trust? To be fair, his grievance is with the company and its marketeers, and not your good self.

Best wishes,

Nick

Disappointed that there are no Norwich Playhouse dates on your tour, we love watching you in Norwich.

Hello Mark, I’ve been watching We Need Answers and I think it great. Yes, it’s silly, but nevertheless, I love it. I got my husband to watch it too. He said I only like it because you look like Richard Hughes, the drummer from the band Keane. You do, happily, look a lot like him but I think you may be marginally funnier. Anyway, he approved of your show and likes the WNA plate. I pointed him in the direction of No More Women too, which is very gentle yet mind-boggling at the same time. Well done. Lots of love.

Mark!

Can’t wait to see your show at Edinburgh!!! My fiance and I are coming on honeymoon – it’s not quite as bad as it sounds – 1st week somewhere hot, 2nd week at the rainy fringe…

What happened to the DVD you recorded in London in 2008? Has it been canned? Any chance you could release it limited edition as a download? Even if it’s just the audio.

Still loving the work, I’ll pick up the new novel too.

Good luck with all your current ventures

Matt

how random – i haven’t been on here in ages, i come one today, et voila – a lovely long blog! well, i was in a rubbish mood, but reading about possible sightings of yourself via the medium of show, book and blog has cheered me up (not no end, but definitely some).
looking forward to ‘eleven’, and will basically keep requesting it at everylibrary i go in, and then telling them all their existing copies are out, so they have to keep buying more. it’s possible there are flaws in this plan, but i’ve not worked them out yet. :0)

You should blog more, you’re good at it. Plus if it gets popular it will help publicise your writing… you can use it to shamelessly promote stuff. Mainly your own. Oh wait…

I will come and see you later on this year, even though your tour doesn’t condescend to coming to Colchester this year (you came here last year, I guess two years in a row might be pushing the boat out a bit).

Oh, and your book sounds good. Maybe you could combine your tour with a book-signing, sit behind a little table signing books and telling jokes? You never know.

Nice bloggage, Mark. Glad to see your admission re Twitter addiction – us addicts need to stick together.

Keep on blogging/tweeting. Feed those addictions!

Also – I’m the first person to post a comment which has never happened to me before. Thanks for allowing me to have this unique experience
