I, Jay Cool, am back and feeling chipper. Just as well, as I’m in for a treat with Aaron Chipper, first comedian of the evening. It has to be said that Aaron seems a tad insecure in his abilities to entertain. He’s introducing himself as ‘white, male and American’ and as akin to DonaldContinue reading “Bloomers and Beer”

Fancy Footwork
Closure. BMW Bike – a Creative Commons image from Wikimedia.org Don Mackie‘s going for it full throttle – he’s replaced his tricycle with a motorcycle and he’s revving up the audience at The Tap, whilst I … I, Jay Cool, the one and only once-was-ginger Blogger Extraordinaire, am … … very busy eyeing up theContinue reading “Fancy Footwork”
Up for Grabs?
‘Seventy-three and up for grabs?’ It’s Janet Benisworth! At last a genuinely ancient comedian; not just some early forty something undersexed male, claiming to be middle-aged, trying to get the female sympathy vote. And, even better, I’ve never seen such an old specimen sporting such lustrous-dark locks. I sit up and take notice. A greatContinue reading “Up for Grabs?”
Bragg an Adams in Melford
I, Jay Cool, the one and only Blogger Extraordinaire, am back.

I’m feeling as good as new and I’m dizzy with anticipation. Suffolk Punch Comedy Club is back with me, and we’reContinue reading “Reinvigorating Treatments in Long Melford”
Late Laughter – Going Viral!
Late. No, I haven’t died. And, no, my descendants are not about to change my status on their family trees from ‘living’ and ‘private’ to ‘deceased’ and ‘public’. Unfortunate really, as this might be just the push I need in my bid to go viral. Still, I, Jay Cool, may be a little on theContinue reading “Late Laughter – Going Viral!”

Beyond Southwold Pier
Step out. Walk the golden footpath. Transcend normality. Shiny pebbles underfoot. Grinding, then separating. Threatening, pulling, wrapping around plimsoll-clad feet. Waves teasing. Follow on. Step out. Copyright owned by Jay Cool

The Pakefield Ladies
Hunched-up ladies huddle by the sea Shivering, wrapped up in the sun. Tied up in coarse rope. Anchored to the pebbled beach. Unable to even shuffle. Howling unintelligible tones. Gagged. And blinded. Path markers. All routes out long gone. Copyright ownedContinue reading “The Pakefield Ladies”
