A sketch from Canadian 90s comedy programme Kids in the Hall, which I've really been getting into lately! There's just something winsome and delightful about the whole programme, it always cheers me up. Anyway, this one is about the king of empty promises!

No we don't actually, but we *should* because it's glorious and the world needs more KITH (sounds like a super villain when you write it like that!)

The below is a clip from a pantomime I was in... a Sword in the Stone pantomime! I'm not shouty one. I don't usually shout that much. Honest.

I would embed the video, but I can't see it if I do! I hope it makes you laugh!

Whatever have I been missing in here?! A multi talented man Sprocket, thanks for sharing this, LOL!! That really did make me laugh!! Hilarious, and Erasure would have been proud! Which one are you, can't work it out from your post?!!Maybe when it comes to youtube stuff, you could both embed the video and put the link, with the tags either side to make it live? Then all bases are covered!

keep it coming!

Wow! Now I will have an entire character to put behind the name Sprocket! Nice work Mordred, I was hoping it was you. although the guy in drag reminds me of someone and your duet was simply divine! Couldn't help noticing the academic looking building in the background, are you studying?

Watching that, I think there was a whole level of meaning for me as a vegan that wasn't intended to be there, lol!
An intriguing specialism Sprocket! I am rather conflicted about studying literature, elements of it destroyed not fuelled my passion....decided against taking up my place to do my MA after my lit degree (my area of interest at the time was the feminist imagination in science fiction..lol) and avoided studying film for the same reason! But reading you here, i feel a flicker of excitement at the gift of academia and it's depths of exploration...!
Good luck with your studies and I hope plenty more outdoor theatre where that came from!

I think Lula requested that I upload some stand-up sometime, so I've recorded an audio version of a set I did about having OCD. It mostly works fine without the visuals, except for the end, which is bewildering without them, so it will seem like a very abrupt and strange ending indeed! Un-spoil the text at about 10:30 to reveal the ending! :D

Spoiler

I mime washing myself in the shower to the movements of the Macarena... washing the back of the left hand with soap first, then the back of the right hand with soap, then the front of the left, the front of the right, the shoulders, the head, the chest, the bottom, turn around, etc. In the set I just mime and don't explain it out loud too much, then the music cuts in when I've done one cycle of the "dance" with me looking sad and sorry for myself, desperately washing in time to the Macarena! Visually it's very funny, but it doesn't come across at all through audio, but enjoy the rest of it!

Also, don't take it too literally... it's heart-felt, but there are times when I am being ironic or provocative and it might not come across purely through my voice - the lil' OCD stuff and the Monk material especially!

ENJOY!

P.S. The file was a little big to directly upload, so I registered for a secure hosting site and have placed it there.

Here it is!

Wah! Curse this fickle and tempestuous digital bugbear!

Since I haven't recorded the set live (I get nervous about taking cameras to open mic. nights), I only have the audio, which is what has prevented me from uploading it to youtube!

However! I shall find a solution! Tomorrow! After sleep! Yes! :D

Man, audio hosting sites apparently suck!

Don't worry guys, when if I get the chance later today I should be able to convert it to a video file and upload onto youtube! :D
