When will we get to hear some new tunes?
I’ve got some good ideas but it depends what happens in America.
Right now, what I’m doing is all about exposure. I’m not making any money from playing to 200-300 people every night and the way you get to a point where you can tour and make money from it is to get exposure on television so right now all my creative effort is going into this TV pilot that I’ve written and I’ll give that to the BBC and HBO.
I’ll get to the end of next year and see so I might write a new Edinburgh show next year; I certainly have enough ideas now.
When’s the next album hitting the shelves?
If I had complete choice, I’d do that next but it would be foolish to let the momentum of this go so we’ll see, but I reckon within the next two years. That’s not much good is it?
When are you going to come to X?
What’s X?
Any place name you can think of.
Well I’m actually having a meeting in the next two weeks about what to do with touring next year but the question is do I keep flogging this show to more and more towns. The problem is, if I do that then I’m too tired to write new stuff.
I’m not gonna pretend that what I do is more difficult than stand-up but if you’re a stand-up you turn up half an hour before your gig and go, “1, 2” and you do your gig which is an hour or forty-five minutes long of you talking and then you have a couple of wines and go to bed. Then the next morning you’ve got the whole day in front of you in which to write.
Where as I have to turn up to the venue three or four hours early to rig a whole theatre show and tech it. Then I do a two hour show where I have to sing and use the full range of my vocal abilities, or lack thereof. Afterwards I’m knackered and I have to drive to the next place and do it all again so while I’m touring I can’t write.
Sorry, that’s completely not what the question was. I guess what I’m saying is I have decide how much to keep touring this show. And all the people who want to come back want to come back to see the next show and it’s not written yet.
They should buy my DVD and just watch it all the time.
What’s your address? I want to bring you some cookies.
*laughs*
A fan in Australia asked my address cos they wanted to send me tickets or something and I think it’s a good rule not to tell people your address or phone number because 99% of people are totally normal, which implies that there’s always a Kirsty.
I live north of Crouch End. In between Crouch End and Alexandra Palace so if you just put a big sign saying, “Tim” with cookies on it in like Priory Park my wife will probably stumble across them.
Are you trying to make me fat? Kirsty wants to make me fat; she’s like that.
