well I am in full swing now getting ready for summer season. Jack is up with me in scotland just now, and the last few days we have been throwing many ideas around for the summer. It is a great offstage relationship we have, which is half the battle when working so closely with someone, this shall be the 4th season at the hippodrome in Great Yarmouth and I am looking forward to starting. Before the season, I have two contracts abroad to carry out, next week I visit Tenerife and Lanzarote, and then back to Cyprus before returning a quick wash of the pants (sorry mum) and then head to yarmouth for 3 months

that is all the news at the mo i think, sure I have missed something. Anyway got to dash Jack and I are going to watch Zippos Circus and then onto a improv show speak soon bye

I know what Buble meant when he said he wanted to go home

Hello its been a while ………… lazy i know!!! but lets bash on with all the news. well I have had my photo shoot for panto which was great to meet the cast. Lovely to catch up with Nieve again, and to met Jim Davidson and Dean Park was great, they put me at ease, as we chatted and exchanged gags. I am really looking forward to be performing in Glasgow this year and back in panto. I have also been gigging in various places mainly Majorca / Menorca but this month will see me visit cyprus twice Tenerife, Lanzarote and the Costa Del Sol. I am seeing my great mate and summer season co-writer Jack to discuss the forth coming season and write material. Jack also has podcast equipment so hopefully we will make a podcast. Aswell as writing alot of xbox action happens!!!! has to be done.

Probably the best thing to happen since we last spoke is I am now a proud Godfather of my gorgeous niece Eilidh Marie McLeish. She is a little gem i am enjoying spending time with her. I am not looking forward to not seeing her from July till September when I am in summer season, but i am cherishing every moment just now. oh yeah and enjoyed watching the champions league final with my dad, watching barca was a lesson in football.

right enough of that off now to sleep. nice to catch up with you. will speak soon

Circus impresario Peter Jay launched a one off competition to find the title of his new 2011 Hippodrome Summer Spectacular which starts on 13th July at the historic Great Yarmouth venue.

Acts are already booked for the show, include the return of one of its most thrilling hit acts – the dare devil Globe of Death bikers from Columbia – the huge steel cage features an amazing three riders who perform hair-raising stunts that look impossibly dangerous – this act was the hit of the 2010 Christmas Circus. East Anglia’s favourite comedy duo Jack Jay and Johnny Mac, return with more hilarious hit comedy and new antics in this clown free production. plus a team of glamorous dancers, swimmers and aerialists and much more in the, as yet, untitled show.

Hello I write to you on this lovely March evening in Glasgow Life has been great the past couple of months. Last week I appeared at the Palace Theatre Kilmarnock in my own show, we had 3 singers, 4 dancers and me it went really well. It is a strange feeling appearing in front of your home crowd. I am so use to inventing family members for my gags, but you cant do that when the family are sitting in the theatre!!! The audience seemed to enjoy themselves as did I, although, the pressure before hand was intense. Work is booming!!!! I am filming an advert for “Right move” I am also an MC for a sky tv 3d exhibition, then I am supporting Joe Longthorne. Things couldn’t be better!!! the “Glasgow life” is great, and my work diary is pretty full. I look forward to making some announcements on here in the next few weeks with regards to work. But the best news about the forth coming weeks is my sister is due to give birth, and that puts all the stress and strain of work into perspective ……… we don’t know if it is going to be a boy or a girl its a surprise!!!!! but I am so excited about being an Uncle or an Auntie. speak soon

so what has been going on in my life since we last chatted, well the season went well in Yarmouth and broke box office records for the christmas season!!!!!! despite the weather.

After the season I went to see a few shows around the UK and got to catch up with friends which was lovely.

First stop was london where I was lucky enough to get to see Totem (on press night thank you Christine Jay), the new Cirque du Solei show, it was a fantastic production. After a few days in London I headed to Newcastle to see my friends in the theatre royal “Robin Hood” panto, produced by Qdos. Another fantastic pantomime, I have seen pantos at this theatre for a few years now and it really is one of the best in the country. Then it was off to the homeland to see my pals james and cat in the Pavillion Glasgow. It was great to watch them and the production really zipped along, Jim Davidson was on great form. I also went to see Bradford Panto with Billy Pearce and my friend Peter Piper. Billy Pearce is an amazing performer,if you get the chance ever you should go and watch him, he gives a master class in comedy panto performing. And him and peter worked well together.

Now it is onwards to the next gigs. I am also doing a show at the Palace Theatre Kilmarnock on the 18th March which is exciting, and I am supporting Joe Longthorne in April, I shall be returning to the Hippodrome Great Yarmouth for my 3rd Summer Season there.

And if thats not enough I have just moved house, so cant sit around chatting and reviewing pantos hahaha I need to go and unpack.

Wow that was alot of information in one blog!!!!!

It’s chuffin cold !!!!!!

Hello people, hope this finds you well. Just returned from sunny Cyprus after a few great ‘gigs’ - what a change in the weather. Just packing to go to sunny (snowy) Norfolk for Christmas season - can’t wait. Not in Scotland this year for Christmas or NewYear, but will be spending it with my ‘adopted’ family at the Hippodrome.
Luckily, I managed to ‘catch’ my ‘china’s’ pantomime in Kilmarnock on Saturday night. Definately well cast, no weak link. It was a pleasure to be entertained by them, and well directed by ‘ma china’. I look forward to hopefully catching some more pantos in January as I do my annual tour - which I love. I would like to extend my best wishes to all my friends in panto season, a great and exhausting time of the year………..but dont we all love it. Well off now this case won’t pack itself, speak to you all in 2011.

Merry Christmas
xxxx

Well as the season finished I head to rhodes to do a couple of gigs for thomsons gold hotels, and they were fantastic, the holidaymakers were great the facilities were beautiful, and the entertainments teams were so professional, it was a pleasure to perform for them. I would love to go back!! I also met a singer called Rob who was also out there for the same gigs, social we laughed from the start until the end of the trip, which made the time fly by. I am back home now still writing Cinderella and waiting to hear on a few more gigs …….. if they dont come off I have been told I can go and clean some of the facilities for the commonwealth games in delhi………every cloud and all that. Still missing our happy team fom the Hippodrome.
