The photo of the day on DailyHaHa is a must see!

I've just been sent a press release from Paramount Comedy announcing that Ricky Gervais’s support act/best mate/whipping boy Robin Ince will be part of the judging panel at this year's final. Robin will add to the list of comedy heavyweights present on the night including Patrick Monahan, resident warm up for BBC1’s “Friday Night with Jonathan Ross”, who will host the night and if.comedy award winner Brendon Burns, who'll be performing.

Paramount Comedy have issued a last call for entries to their Funniest Student Competition 2008! The finalists will get to perform at the Comedy Store on 10 March

I am on the slowest computer in the world so I don’t even know whether this message will ever appear but I would just like to say thanks a bunch to every who came down yesterday to support me, it means so much to me. It was good to go on stage with such a round of applause.

Special thanks go to Katy for bullying everyone so they came down; Chris for helping me with ’stance and delivery’ and to Al and Laurence who helped me write it.

I don’t think i have ever been so amazingly nervous, going on last of all is scary as hell. Anyways i am internetless at the moment and this computer is way to slow to go on facebook, so i will try and get in touch with all you guys soon.

Matt if you could put the video on that would be grand as long as it’s not to crappy!

Here are some clips on the Paramount Comedy website if you'd rather watch. The choice includes Peter Slater,
Nathan Caton and Dutch Elm Conservatoire.

Well… we’ve not really been up to much recently, but thought another post was in order. I’ve uploaded six more photos, a random selection of different ones for people to be occupied with! So everyone complaining about the lack of photos recently, well here you go!

Yesterday we skied with Anneliese for a bit which was really good. The weather was horrible, but the snow up the mountain was really good, so the skiing was fun. Unfortunately still no Symphony as it was closed :-(. Today we’re having a relaxing day as tomorrow will be the start of another tiring week at work and we need to have energy for when Mum & Dad arrive so that we can keep up with their ski days! We need the energy to stop every 5 minutes at Chic Pea for a coffee!!! Speaking of coffee, check out the amazing coffee we had last week at Glacier Creek - our cappuccino workers really are the best on the mountain

We’re not sure what else we’ll do today, but probably will involve going into town and going to the sweet shop, coffee shop and looking around the ski shops! It’s nice to be able to walk around Whistler not carrying skis everywhere - something that tourists don’t really get to do as they’re always on the slopes.

Anyway, best get cracking now, nothing else to update on, but hopefully more soon!

Patrick Monahan, resident warm up for BBC1’s “Friday Night with Jonathan Ross”, will be one of the hosts at the Magners Paramount Comedy On Tap Funniest Student 2008 final.

The event will take place at London's Comedy store on 10 March and will also feature a set with our special guest, if.comedy award winner Brendon Burns.

From what I hear, the competition is hotting up and with two weeks to go before the deadline for submissions, the final should be a great night!
