Richard Herring - Warming Up

A fishy name but clever man. Richard Herring is one of my comedy idols and it was his website which gave me the idea for my own blog. He calls his blog 'warming up' cause he uses his writing about everyday things to generate material and ideas for his stand up. The idea appeals to me cause he takes the real mundane aspects of life and subjects them to unfaltering analysis which invariably turns into quite amusing writing. I'm under no illusions that my blog will be anywhere near as comprehensive (he's not missed one day in three years!) or indeed amusing as his, but I've got to start somewhere.

Here's one of my favourite recent entries from Easter Sunday. It discusses why Jesus may have been slightly disappointed by having his life celebrated by cinnamon buns and chocolate eggs. Very clever:
