Yeah it's Steve Murphy who is still with CTV. We knew* him when he was an anchor at ATV back east. We pretty much stopped watching tv news (or anything) after moving up here ~12 years ago so don't really know Tom Clark. * er, watched him on tv “Human Mini-Brains Growing Inside Rat Bodies Are Starting To Integrate”

Just remembered that my wife's cousin, Nick Doody is kinda almost famous. He's a comedian living in London and regularly does the Edinburgh Fringe. He's written for 8 out of 10 Cats, Have I Got News For You (if I'm remembering rightly), lots of radio like The Now Show, and has a few of his live shows on YouTube. I don't get to see him that much, but he's usually present for family events n'that. Drawings n' that PIBEES

It was a long time ago, but I think he was quite a nice chap. He was sharing a venue in the Fringe with some other performers I know. Met loads of famous folk over the years at the Fringe, both from helping out with shows and just generally being out and about. Some that stand out: Arthur Smith - mainly see him walking down the street in a hurry. Normally I'm pissed and manage a "Oi that's Arthur Shmithsh!" and always get's a friendly hello and a wave in return. Rich Hall/Ottis Lee Crenshaw - Amazing musician friend (same as venue sharer with Nick Doody) is an occasional part of the Ottis Lee Crenshaw band, met Rich Hall a few times and always seems really nice and down to earth. And funny. Frank Skinner - odious little weasel-faced arrogant prick. Mike out of Casualty - sat at the next table to him George Square. Didn't actually meet him as I managed to resist the urge to go and ask him about this rash. Norman Lovett - The best of the Hollys off of Red Dwaf. He did a free stand up show, don't remember much of the show (may have been drunk...) but chatted with him after and he was lovely. Apparently I made him say that "they're all dead, Dave", but I honestly don't remember. Think he might live in Edinburgh, or so someone told me once. Ben Dover - yes, /that/ Ben Dover, me and a mate went to a comedy review show. We had a big table to ourselves at the back, and this random guy came in and asked if he could share it. Had a bit of a laugh and a chat over a couple of beers and then the show started. The compere announced the first act, pornographic legend Ben Dover, and this guy stands up and get's on stage. Fucking weird! Don't remember his set being particularly funny, there's only so many jokes about shagging loadsa birds. He came back and sat with us after his set, and at the end of the show we shook hands and went our separate ways - him presumably to his next conquest, and me to plunge my hand in the nearest bucket of bleach. Non-Fringe stuff Chris Hadfield - at a book signing, seemed nice enough but didn't like his book on the radio so haven't actually read the real copy. Loads of bands and musicians at Whitby Goth Weekend (mate runs the stage production side of things, gets us tripple-A crew passes every year) although probably not that famous in most circles (a few '80s 'legends' creep up from time to time, though), and one year I was asked to give Voltaire a a lift to Glasgow for his next show. I declined on account of being drunk. I'm starting to notice a pattern here... ▪ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ │ │ │ ▪ │ └────┘ │ │ ──┐ ┌── │ ▪ ┌──────┤ ▪ ▪ │ ┌┘ │ │ ▪ ┌─┤ └──┐ │ │ ┌──┘ │ │ │ ││ ││ │ ┌─┐ │ │ └─┼┤ └┴─┴───┘ │ │ │ ─┘│ │ │ │ ┌──────┐ └┬──────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └───┘ └───┘ If Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.

Ooh ooh, just remembered another one. Amanda Fucking Palmer and her husband, Neil Gaiman. I got AFP to give me a fake snog on the grounds that it would really piss off my ex-wife (who was a massive AFP fan, and also AFP's support act for her gig the following night). Neil seemed to think it was brilliant. I hope. He may kill me. Excuse the awful photo proof, I was a little drunk... ▪ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ │ │ │ ▪ │ └────┘ │ │ ──┐ ┌── │ ▪ ┌──────┤ ▪ ▪ │ ┌┘ │ │ ▪ ┌─┤ └──┐ │ │ ┌──┘ │ │ │ ││ ││ │ ┌─┐ │ │ └─┼┤ └┴─┴───┘ │ │ │ ─┘│ │ │ │ ┌──────┐ └┬──────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └───┘ └───┘ If Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.

Any good? Never read any of his books, he still let me fake snog his wife though. Good guy Neil Gaiman.

Ooh, I also met two of the Ice Road Truckers.

Alex the Bear was lovely.

Lisa was grumpy and really seemed like she didn't want to be there.

Wasn't drunk for this one*!

Very short novella but good, though it ended rather abruptly. “Of course big stores hate riots … unless they happen on Black Friday”

Read loads of his books. Great writer and very nice bloke. Quote: Frank Skinner - odious little weasel-faced arrogant prick. That's a shame. I saw him live in 1980something and he was really funny. never trust a man in a blue trench coat, never drive a car when you're dead

Nick's wife, a lovely lady called Kirsty plays piano/keyboards (and probably a lot of other things too), she's played alongside Arthur Smith and Rich Hall and she did the music for the Whose Line Is It Anyway show at the Fringe this year. 'S a small world, innit? Drawings n' that PIBEES

The BBC comedy world is certainly a bit incestuous.

Dai Davies judged a disco competition at my secondary school when I was about 12. I was one of the first kids eliminated from the contest. I was informed of this by Dai Davies tapping me on the head. Other than destroying my hopes of becoming a professional dancer he seemed nice enough. Got Janice Long’s autograph at a radio 1 roadshow in the early 80s. Had a piss next to Jimmy Carl Black at a club in Chester. Met Rhod Gilbert at a show. Exchanged a glance with that Greg bloke off masterchef in M+S in bluewater Similar exchange of glance with a Richard Bacon at WH Smith’s in Charing Cross. What a world we live in eh? Add THE VETOES to your myspace friends!!! Pretty please :D
