BUG & JOSS STONE NEWS!
KEN KORDA’S ANALYSIS OF THE VIDEO FOR JOSS STONE’S BABY BABY BABY
The BUG shaped part of my life seems to be getting busier, which I’m all up for as it’s still my favourite live assignation. In the last few weeks we had a pair of shows in Norwich then Leicester, all of which seemed to go down pretty well and I had a good time meeting some of the audience after the shows, some of whom gave me some great tips for videos and internet weirdness that we’ll certainly include in forthcoming BUG nights. And only one person gave me a hard time about The Persuasionists!
One of the videos I made for BUG was an analysis of a Joss Stone video that has been doing the rounds online for a while. This is something I thought might be a good strand, not only for the live shows but for a possible TV/internet version of BUG that I’m putting together in pilot form over the next few weeks. I’ve always wanted to do some kind of music show (I wrote about past attempts here) and maybe some form of BUG hybrid is the way to go.
We’ll see, but for the time being, here’s Ken. Oh, and if you have any suggestions for other videos that would benefit from Ken’s analytical skills, do leave a link on my You Tube channel comments section. I love you byeeee!

READING REVIEWS FOR THE PERSUASIONISTS

ALONE IN THE SHED NEWS!
THE ADVENTURE BEGINS, THEN CONTINUES FOR A SHORT WHILE…THEN ENDS!
Here are the 4 pieces I made for 2009 Unwrapped presented by lovely Miranda Hart, a Time Trumpet-ish review of last year that went out on BBC2 on 30th December. My Shed bits were spooves of Channel 4’s Alone In The Wild which went out in September last year. Visit the BBC Comedy website to read my hilarious accompanying blog entries now!!! Careful to tape up your sides before you do though or they might split with mirth! Seriously. Hospitals have been reporting record numbers of mirth related injuries since my blog posts went up on the BBC site. Oh wait, apparently they’ve been reporting record numbers of injuries from slipping on ice. So tape up your feet AND your sides.

CALIFORNIA COMPETITION NEWS!
CALIFORNIA COMPETITION NEWS!
WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO ON A LUXURY TRIP TO CALIFORNIA AND APPEAR IN THEIR TV AD?
If the answer is ‘no’, this isn’t the post for you. If it’s ‘yes’ then BONGO PARTY! I’ve been hired by the Californian Tourist Board to tell people about this competition they’re running so I hope you’ll forgive me if I slip queasily into advertising mode for a while. Yes, I’m being paid but I really think the prize is pretty amazing and I get the feeling it might not be too hard to win if you’re up for filming yourself being charming in an audition video.
Enter the competition and find out more details HERE
Basically they want someone to appear briefly in the Visit California TV ad, you know the one with Rob Lowe looking soulfully out to sea, David Beckham kicking balls on the beach and Arnold Schwarzenegger having a romantic meal, completely free of guns and explosions, with his lovely wife on a terrace somewhere. Here it is here…
I imagine it’s been your dream to appear in one of these ads for almost as long as you can remember. Well now that dream is one step closer to coming true. Even if there’s something wrong with you and you have never dreamt of appearing in a TV ad extolling the virtues of the Golden State, you might be up for the rest of the prize which includes a first class round trip to LA, luxury accommodation, spending money and over the top sounding activities for a week. Here’s a video I’ve made outlining the prize and explaining what you have to do to enter in a bit more detail.
Go on, have a go! Your audition tape has got to be better than some of the stuff they’ve had through so far! Oh lordy. I’ll be posting a few more related vids over the next few weeks to keep the competition pot bubbling. Good luck and a very happy nude year to you!

QUEEN’S SPEECH NEWS!
LORRA LORRA HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
As promised on our radio show, here’s the Queen’s Speech for you with her Maj looking uncannily like Noel Edmonds, in other words about as seasonally correct as it’s possible to be. OK, I’d better get back to my family and pretend I’ve been doing something other than uploading stupid videos during the Big Jesus Party! I hope you’re having a good day, whoever and wherever you are.
Love Adam
