Chris Addison, star of The Thick of It and Mock the Week, will perform to a sell-out audience at the Courtyard on February 10.

Good grief. Im writing the screen play now, titled the 'Very quick death of a Council Leader'.
It's very short and has little dialogue but basically he comes on stage and says, 'oh what a lovely day'. I leap out clutching my Granny's old service revolver and shout, 'get stuffed Jarvis' and then I shoot him'.
And the closing scene has him muttering,'I'm sorry for wasting all your money. He then points to the heavens and calls,'take me Jesus Im ready'.
The end.

Bobby that's a very touching script. I would watch that on the proviso that Jarvis plays himself, you play you and the gun and ammo is real.

err ? Why would your Granny have a service revolver?

Thank you Mizza. You ask about my Granny and her old service revolver.
Granny was a prostitute and a former inmate in a Japanese Prisonerer of War Camp and she managed to secrete this gun, five thousand rounds of ammunition, a rocket launcher and an old cutlass upon her person without her captors discovering her arsenal of death.
Granny was very rarely able to speak of her experiences within that terrible camp but one day, she and I were welding off the Victoria bridge and I broached the subject.
I said, 'Granny, your time in that camp. What was it like?'. She took a long drag on her hand rolled cannabis reefer, through back her red head (she had no hair, just a red head) and said, ' It was terrible. It rained for the first two weeks'.

Bobby, love the new scripts for the plays 'what you write'. Any chance I can play the part of the camp commandant - I can make him/her really camp, even though I bat for the hetros! How about your nemesis trying a really bad joke before the rightful ending - not that such a joke would be necessary to your wonderful script.
"I would like to announce that the council is to build a 18 floor building, which will be filled with carp. Due to all the heavy rain we have an EU grant to build a multi-storey carp Ark."

Littlewhitebull, you my friend can choose any part of your liking just as long as you have no expectations in subjecting my Granny to your manly love.
It ain't going to happen. Not while I've got the pen in my hand. Never. Im not having some thespian cozying up to my Granny wearing a cherry coloured cravat and wooing her with promises of a packet of chewing tobacco and her first ever bra. Never!

Thanks, Bobby. Your gran sounds like .....fun?
I have to confess that the last time I acted I broke the floorboards! Well, I was just going through a stage really.
