You know the drill by now.
Grames, youre up.
Q: How did you come to boards?
Q: How did you end up on the Noc?
Q: Have you ever seen a famous comedian epic fail on stage, and did you lol to yourself?
1) Galvasean kept hounding me to support the application for a stand up comedy forum and when that was formed i was there for a while, then i got hooked, the boards virus infected me from there
2) i felt like i wasnt wanted in the bar anymore and went for a boards wander, fund the noc and realised this was the place for me!
3) i have indeed, miss maeve higgins, one of the worst gigs i have ever seen, it was painful, but i didnt lol because i realised i had paid money to see this so i got annoyed, went for a walk and talked to a different comedian!girl_friday wrote: »How did you get interested in becoming a stand up comedian?
What height are you?
Why do you like hugs so much?
1) ive loved stand up comedy since....i dont even remember, and im an attention seeking whore (i have to try be noticed some how coz my looks certainly arent gonna do that) my first ever stand up gig was when i was7/8 and then years later after seeing galvaseans first gig i decided i really wanted to give it a go.
2) just shy of 6 foot 2
3) its the only human bodily contact i can get!

Comedy's a tricky business, but one I used to be very interested in (as an audience member).
Who would be your favourite contemporary comedian?
What style would appeal to you most? Stanhope style píss people off, Dylan Moran-esque commentary, Tommy Tiernan's energetic/shouty style, and so on...?
If you look at Richard Pryor, oft cited as the leading influence of a huge number of the (primarily Afro-Yank comedians of the 80s), who would be the influences of your style?
1) depends on what you mean by contemporary, my favourite comedian of all time would be mitch hedberg (RIP) the man is a legend and it just one of the greatest comedians of all time. favourite living comedian would probably be of course the big yin but id have to mention the less well known rich hall! pure genius!
2) i love a huge wide range of comedy, to me, if it's funny i like it, i dont really have one specific favourite genre.
3) main influences would probably be the mad cap and un PC comedians : mike wilmot, jim jeffries, jimmy carr, rich hall, jason byrne (the list goes on and on)What pisses you off about society?
What's the worst thing you've witnessed happening?
If you could travel back in time in order to change one event, what event would you choose and why?
1) i am sick to the teeth of these gobsh!tes who wont stfu abotu the recession, i know we are in one, we are all in the same boat, moaning about it and trying to find someone to blame is not gonna get us out of it! and the people that blame the recession for anything and everything, know what it is before you fcukin blame it!
2) worst thing? hmmm, workin at some gig in the point and witnessed some chap smackin his girlfriend and it didnt seem like the first time it had happened! the head security guys promptly dealt with him and thats all that will be said about it
3) id stop chanel 4 from ever inflicting jade goody on to us! if she wasnt in big brother id say the world would be a better place!Where can I purchase such a robo??
o briens in malahide can give you the basic tools!`0 -
What's your favorite holiday destination?
What's your favorite sandwich filling?
What character from movies or tv do you identify with most and why?
1) krakow in poland is spectacular, brilliant area, cheap as fook, lovely main square, and polish women are some of the most amazingly beautiful women on the face of the planet!
2) oooh tough one: probably steak! steak sang-iches are amazing!
3) howard moon from the mighty boosh, i try my best, i am the first one who gets called when someone needs something, but apart from that i am always the friend.....never the "friend"Aisling(",) wrote: »Is you my friendy friend?:)
blondes or brunettes?
peanut m&ms or normal?
would you rather break an ankle or the wrist on your dominant hand?
would you rather shave your head or have spots that spell prick across your forehead for a week.?
1) of course i am!!
2) Beggers can't be choosers
3) normal all the way.....peanuts are the imbodyment of wrong!
4) probably ankle, i had tendonitis in my wrist before and apart from the pain, the insults directed at me, the guy with his right wrist taped up....yeah didnt help the social scene!
5) weirdest question ever: i suppose i could go with the shaved head, it worked for shrek wayne rooneyWhats your bestest santa present?
Favourite colour?
Can you play any instruments?
Are you happy this evening?
1) hmmm let me think: probably the ireland vs englans rugby tickets (from the first croker match)
2) dark blue probably

4) happy enough yeah! thesis gone in, was at a ball yesterday, get to relax, no real complaints apart from the usual gripe!0 -

Most embarrassing moment in your life?
Would you sleep with me?
(You are not allowed to cite question no. 3 as the answer to question no. 2.)
1) if i got paid to do presentations (like get to do the new steve note at mac world ala steve jobs) that would rule
2) people came over from england and we brought them out, went to a comedy club and i was offered a spot....and failed monumentally, worst gig i have ever done so all the style and panash and "coolness" that can be associated with being a comedian...went straight out the window!
3) flattered but im gonna have to say no!Have you had a "lightbulb" moment as a comedian?
If so, when and what was it about.
i was practisin for my last gig and i was doin a run through for time etc and the beyonce song single ladies was onthe radio in the background, just then i thaught of a new line/joke, quick as that, and now it is pretty much everyones favourite joke of mine, people keep citing that one as the best and it was a pop into the head moment!what did you have for breakfast this morning?
what size shoes have you?
cadburys chocolate , or nestle?
1) special k and starbucks filter coffee!
2) depends on the shoe, minimum 11, can go up to a 12 and a half
3) cadburys: no matter how much i hate the new advertFavourite Bret Easton Ellis reference in popular culture?
the tv show dexter, dexter himself needs to buy something that only doctors can buy and he uses the allias Dr Patrick Bateman, either that or going to the psychiatrist under the allias sean ellis!Remember that time when trowelled hit you and you fell off your chair? Was that a comic device, or did you really fall?
And given my first question above, WHY was I not the answer to the favourite boardsie to meet question?! SHE HIT YOU!! *sobs*
How many hugs would you dispense on an average night out?
How would you feel about a hugging challenge of some sort?
1) comedic devise, she slapped but not that hard
2) coz she is like the energiser bunny, shes just fcukin crazy, im sowwy if it upsetted you!
3) as many as i can possibly get
4) im gameGood morning Commander Bond.- Which is your favourite Jimmy Bond film and actor?
- Which is your favourite James Bond car?
- Who is your favourite Bond villan?
- would you like to be in a Jimmy Bond folm?
1a) film: i really dont know, i loved casino royale and the older stuff (even the campy stuff) moonraker and the spy who loved me stick out in my head atm, (see question 3 to find out why) and you only live twice and goldfinger for sheer coolness (so in short i dont know ) would be quicker for me to list the ones i dont like: die another day! that is all (terrible song, terrible movie and invisible car?!!? wtf)
1b) actor: daniel craig has a chance but its too early to make a call there, id say ill go for the original, the man, sean connery!
2) the current one: aston martin DBS.....wow!
3) richard kiel as jaws! that guy was badass!
4) i would love to be in a new 007 movie even as a bit part sittin at the bar or makin the cocktail, either the martini or the vesper!Aww thank you.
Do I pack a good punch? (ok it was really a slap)
Is there any song lyric that sticks out in your mind as being meaningful to you for whatever reason?
1) you really do, i think its the perceived innocence of you, which can catch ya off guard, makin the slap more effective!
2) newton faulkner : i need something:
i need something, to belive in
coz i dont believe in myself
i'm sick and tired, of getting no where
guess it will all work out!

Who is your favourite stand up?
Who is your favourite band/artist?
Are you enjoying being in the Noclight?
How happy do you feel with thesis out of the way?
Favourite clothing brand? :P
1) of all time: mitch hedberg (RIP)
still living: probably billy connolly/rich hall
2) now this one is tricky,i have such a wide ranging taste in music i could be here all day, it changes but at the moment ill say the band that got me into real music: aerosmith!
3) yeah its great.....although clearly i'm not as popular as previous noclight dwellers
4) relief isnt even the word! i just know theres some stupid typo or refrencing problem i missed though :mad:
5) probably guess, i bought stuff from the store in NY years ago and still wear it, best purchase ever!Which is heavier a tonne of feathers or a tonne of rocks??
What country that you haven't been to would you most like to visit?
1) they both weigh the same, there would just need to be far more feathers
2) i would love to go to australia (big home an away fan! ) my rents lived there for 2 years after they got married and ive heard great stories, i love the accent too (there is no sexier accent) 0 -

Bah! Go on out of that man. I barely got past five pages, and that's because no-one knows anything about me whereas with you, you're an active attendee of beers.:) Don't be hard on yourself.
In your opinion who is the most overrated comedian living?
In your opinion who is the most overrated comedian dead?
What's your best joke?:p
How does Grames deal with hecklers?:D
1) maeve higgins, the fact that she is "rated" as a comedian in the first place baffles me
2) oooh that one is tough (coz lets be honest, some of the worlds greatest comedians are dead) maybe richard jeni....brilliant comedic actor but i just didnt love his stand up
3) best joke? well you'll have to be the judge of that....click the link in my sig and then decide for yourself!
4) i've been lucky enough i havent really been heckled that badly thus far *touch wood* normally anyone who does say anything a simple acknowledgement ...stare at the crowd and then "fair enough :rolleyes:" seems to do the trick, although sometimes they lay it on a plate....like the american who said something to me, all that took was an exagerated impression of her.....worked a treat! 0 -
