It's that time of night again when I've come to ave' a good kip ;) and I feel the need to post. I am a muppet I really am.
I've even got to be up quite early tomorrow to go on a little drive with my L Plates on, after the Poppa has kindly promised me he'll sit in, before heading to record the Friday lunchtime show at Hospital Radio. I'm really happy to say I've got a car and on Wednesday passed my theory, so just practise and more lessons to go to get to the practical! Ahhhh! Anyway...
Tonight's post has got a particular genre, that being comedy; but in particular its really a dedication to one of my all time favourite comedians and that's Caroline Aherne. I've definitely talked about her in passing in one of my posts from a few months ago, due to my love of the sitcom she so cleverly co-wrote with the (also legend) Craig Cash. However, perhaps sadly but inevitably more so after her really untimely passing, I've taken to watching some of her early comedy sketches. These include snippets from 'The fast show' and the 'Mrs Merton' show, a show where Caroline's character (Mrs Merton) hosted a mock talk show, taking the mick out of celebrities. (If you haven't seen these I'd definitely recommend you check them out, to me they're absolute genius, especially the latter as being an interviewer exposed to any manner of reply,, most of Caroline's come-backs were unscripted.)

Sorry I couldn't stay up to finish this post last night, my eyelids were so heavy I would've had to put toothpicks in them, Mr Bean style, to keep them open! :D so I will pull myself together and dive straight back in to it...
However really, I'm only paving the way for uploading a stand up video that I found from Caroline's early days as a comedian, I can't tell where it is or the date it was filmed etc... All's I know is, if I even saw this one video and nothing else, there's something about her comedy that makes me think she's a genius, in fact she is in my eyes.
- I will just add sorry if anyone finds any of the content insulting, it is not intended to be so at all, in fact that's why Caroline highlights situations, in a sort of dark comedy! I've merely chosen this video, as to me it demonstrates how naturally funny she is.
I love how down to earth her humour is, that it seems so relatable that she could almost be a mate talking to you down the pub or something. This for me is the key to all I enjoy, both good music and good comedy has to make me feel like it knows me better than I know myself and it's then that it really touches me. What I love about comedy in particular, without any pun intended, is that it doesn't take itself seriously. At the end of the day, life is life, and sometimes it's unfair and sometimes horrible things happen, but we know this, it's no surprise, so if you can see how even the most normal and underrated situations can be hilarious, why don't you?? By laughing at how awful and brilliant things can be, I think you're in a better position to embrace it even if it's 'blummin' heck, I didn't expect that'. Even talking like this now I think I'm a little to serious :D. Ayyyyee only embracing my inner David Brent and teaching people my epiphanies ;D. Hahaha only joking!
I think I've always loved comedy and (according to my Mum) always understood sarcasm - it's a good thing, I think it makes up about 90% of who I am ;) - as my parents have always been sarcastic and so when I was little and my friends used to look around confused/slightly concerned when my mum joked apparently, apart from me who just laughed :D (big surprise).
What intrigues me is how much my sense of humour makes up who I am and how much it affects friendship. It's true that all my closest friends are the ones who understand my humour. Even if we've all got different types, we all know not to take each other seriously at all. In fact when there is anything serious to talk about, I have to do the mandatory address of 'RIGHT, this is serious now' :D.
On that note
I'M BEING SERIOUS NOW,
Have the best night ;D
Thank you for reading,
